A structured private-sale packet with seller-provided details, disclosures, maintenance context, photo coverage, and paperwork readiness.
Overview
Seller's overview
Selling my 2001 Mazda Miata that would make a great project, weekend, or track car. This Miata is unique in that the soft top was removed from the car and the hard top bolted on. I still have the soft top and this could be changed if you want. I have also added a Hard Dog roll bar for safety and added stability. Like many Miatas of this vintage, it will need some work. The main thing is the transmission is making noise, but the car is still driveable. Other than that, it is mechanically sound, with nearly every system in the having replaced or fixed including: new radiator and hoses, alternator, starter, valve cover gasket, and clutch. I have a ton of parts as well as nicer tan seats from an NA Miata. The interior has been customized with various parts the SE Miata and a custom cherry wood shift knob, but I have all the original parts. Message more details and questions
