1992 Mazda Miata - Sunburst Yellow
This Sunburst Yellow Miata--one of 1519 built--was advertised for $700 on our message board. When we went to pick it up, the seller didn't have a title. So we got it for $500. Sure, it's a rare color, but this example was too far gone to be worth restoring. We're going crapcan racing!
