1990 Mazda Miata, red with a black cloth interior

This auction is for one 1990 Mazda Miata, red with a black cloth interior.

This 1990 Mazda Miata has under 102k original miles on it. A rare first yearautomatic transmission model (believe me, its better than a manual in modern

traffic patterns), with working power windows, working air conditioning, andworking cruise control.

I'm apparently the 3rd owner, and have the ownership records.

The body is in good to fair condition, dents, dings, fading bumpers, I've tried to photo the larger dings, but thereis no rust to speak of (mild surface rust on suspension components).

I refurbished a set of early Miata steel rims for an older British car look,and they came out well, see photos.

Interior is in very good condition, no cracks or rips in door panels, ordashboard, no rips in seats, carpets appear new (had OEM mats, currently has aftermarket mats), new OEM tombstone,new OEM NOS shifter console (part that indicates transmission selection such as Drive,Reverse, etc.) (these 2 newer items may not be shown in the photos, but are installed in the car), and the harmonic balancer /lower belt pulley is not wobbling (I mention this here as some early cars have thisissue).

New mechanical components (I have receipts from professional repairers /dealers) include the following over the last 5k to 20k miles, however some repairs were done years ago:

Timing belt
Water pump
Thermostat
Valve cover gasket (head cover gasket)
Alternator
Drivers side power window motor & regulator
Power windows switches
Automatic trans shifter bushings
Parts of the AC system
2 new door speakers
All lug nuts are new
Newer windshield
Front and rear brakes (8k miles), I have new hoses but these were apparently in good condition, so repairer (Monroe Muffler) didn't change these out.

Car also has an alarm system (I put an offswitch on the alarm horn for my neighborhood).

Folding top is in good shape, plastic window has fair visibility.

Exhaust system should last a year or more, I've patched muffler.

Car could use front and rear shocks and possibly springs, currently has a hard but responsive ride.

Underside is in generally good condition, some mild surface rust on suspensioncomponents. Email me over eBay if this is important to you, and I'll try to add photos of the underside.

Comes with original owners manual and I will give you receipts that came with car for the work listed herein.

Other items / caveats are:
Newer working cigar lighter
Working window washer pumpandnewer jets
Newer battery (8k miles)
Older but good tires (6 yrs + but no cracks, good tread)
Mild fading to a dark blue color on rear deck under convertible top
Newer CD, USB, MP3, Blue Tooth, AM/FM Radio player (Boss model 508UAB, 200 watts).

Original oil pressure sender works intermittently, seems ambient temperaturesensitive.

Shudder from a mechanical resonance when stopped or at very slow speed and when turning wheels makes anoise, but doesn't affect steering.

Engine idle is adjusted higher for better performance of AC.

One wheel shimmies at circa 68 MPH, I usually simply drive above or below this. Better balance weights should cure this.

New driver and passenger seat belt receivers.

Transmission serviced within last 1000 miles, however first gear has a bit of a kick to it from cold standing start.

Newer shorty antenna.

Car has usually been garaged last 2 + years, had been outside but under a carport for much of its life.

There is a 0.4 amp draw, likely from the alarm system, I usually disconnectbattery if I don't drive it over a week.

I was doing a running restoration of this car, but I have been out of work for longer than I planned, so I'm hedging by selling it.

Car is located in Greenwich, CT.

Please feel free to arrange fora test drive if you are local, as I can be home during the day this and next week.
