1979 Mazda RX-7 unmolested survivor dry AZ car LOW LOW RESERVE !! bid to win early !!
We suggest viewing our auction on normal monitors or tablet to get the most out of our large hi-def pics.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: 1979 Rx7 Mazda - this is a nice car and worthy of restoring for 2 great reasons. 1, its always been in Az and has no rust or rot anywhere on the body, frame or floors. Also, the paint is original, so theres no bondo or previous repairs under the paint you see in the pics. 2nd reason, its never been modded and or turned into a ricky racer mobile. Bone stock under the hood (other then the drop in K&N air filter) all the way back to the stock dual tip muffler. The stock radio like most has been swapped out yrs ago, yes. Not sure why the car was parked about 5 yrs ago, but when we got It, I disconnected the fuel line from the tank (to keep any old gas if any was in the tank) from entering the carb. Took some fresh gas and poured it down the carb, hit the key and it fired right up and idled, and did so for as long as we kept spraying small amounts of fuel down the carb. That being said, it did smoke some. It was puff out some smoke about every 5 to 8 seconds, while keeping it running for about a minute. Water in the radiator and oil look okay. Its going to need the clutch and brakes bleed too. That also being said, while moving the car around the yard, I noticed that the rear wheels didnt want to turn too easily. E-brake is off but not sure why the brakes were dragging in the back. For now I just took the rear drums off to make moving the car around easier and for transporting. Please read more details about the car below:
Check out the pics and more info below...thanks This is a great project car worth restoring. Most of these cars got modded back in the day, meanwhile this one avoided that mess and for the most part just kept stock, like the day it left the factory.
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! NO idea of the actual mileage of the truck and or drivetrain. These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition that are still affordable to most buyers. WANNA BUY IT NOW ? SURE, shoot me a fair offer
DRIVETRAIN: the engine runs with no weird noises, but again it was smoking some. Cant text the clutch or trans at the moment. Brakes will need attention, mostly the rear. This is a factory AC equipped car too, and all is accounted for and in place, but not sure if its charged. Its a project car of course. Ill try to at least bleed the clutch this week just to help some. While we had it running, I could hear the oem E fuel pump running under the car, but not sure if its working and or the tank is empty. It does have 4 new Bosch plugs installed.
INTERIOR: take a look, for the most parts its very complete and original. Az has been hard on most of it as you can see in the pics It will need some resto of course. All the glass is good and the Doors all work, no rot on the doors. The interior does have some heat and sun damage from being an AZ car, which is noticable in the pics below. I have one key for the car and it works in the doors and ignition. No key for the hatch yet, but I went inside and popped the lock so I could open it temporarily. Ill try to get a key made for that this week if I have time. The window tint is old and the flames you see on the rear quarter windows is in the tint.
EXTERIOR:the body is in really nice shape. The original color and paint is what you see in the pics. Now its a 40+ yr old Az car, and the paint is flat and dry. The only real dent thats obvious is on the front nose that I noticed. But the hood functions fine.It has to me what looks like better then normal wear for a car of this age now. Headlights work at they are suppose to and I did see the LR taillight lens is damaged. Sunroof works. You could maybe wetsand the existing paint and buff it for a better finish. Check out all the body line gaps, they are clean like the day it was built.
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks normal and very original for its age. Factory height. Again, all looks intact. Rolls and steers fine, sitting on some factory 14" correct OEM alloy rims. Falken tires are actually in decent shape. No Rust or rot under the car making it super easy to work on. Keep in mind the we took the rear drums off the car so it would roll easier too. Rear Struts andhave been replaced and all 4 corners feel okay. Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. The Az sw gets about 9" of rain a year and the dry desert climate preserves metal, doesnt rot it. more infoAFTER the 100+ pix below...
There you have it, probably The BEST represented Mazdas shown here on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you them We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car speaks volumes. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
