1995 Mazda Miata 5 speed convertable.Interior is in good condition, canvas top has on gash.the engine has 80,000 miles on it with a recent oil change an KnN air filter on it. front left control arm is bent an the roaters an pads could use a changing. i do have all the tires although they are not in the pictures. u will need a tow to get the vehicle.

Just FYI its a 93 not a 95.

Assuming those are the original wheels, anyhow :)

Perfect start for a track rat. But I think it's been sold: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/another-member-to-the-under-1000-miata-club/12395/page1/

I know its a 93 because a friend inquired about it.

In reply to Keith:

Yep. Its mine now. I was the 4th to call but the earlier suiters kept passing on it since it wasn't a 1.8/torsen car. In about 10 minutes (after F1 qualifying) I am going to start the the transformation. Will post pics on Miataforum.

I was the first to check it out. I passed when I found out my convertible top guy would be down for the next three months with a torn rotator cuff :( The car has very little damage that I could see: Lower control arm, sway bar link, POSSIBLY the strut. The guy came down to $500 almost immediately. This was a good buy.

Looks like I paid a little too much then :-)

I'm happy though. It was an easy fix and the paint came back to life with a little elbow grease. AC works too.

I filled two vacuum cleaner bags with leaves, acorns and critter nests from the car having sat so long.
