LAST MINUTE CHALLENGER '90 Miata - Mine, Boston area, some assembly required

This is not really quite ready to sell, but I thought I'd throw it out there if anyone is looking for a super last minute challenger.

It's a 1990 Miata, ~200k on the clock, runs and drives great. Recent maintenance includes plugs, wires, valve cover gasket and CAS seal, clutch hydraulics and SS line, SS brake lines, poly bushings, alignment bolts, shifter boots, etc.

It was repainted at some point - poorly - though I do like the color. It was originally blue. The clear is peeling and it was clearly not prepped or masked well. This was probably done at the same time that the rear quarters were repaired, so it's not rusting to pieces. It does have a rust spot in the front fender.

The suspension is stock, and it currently has stock sway bars on it. I have a Flyin' Miata set that I'll throw in, though they're for an NB so you'll need adjustable endlinks in the front. I have some Konis of unknown condition that can be included too.

Now for the needs some assembly part - to be driveable, it needs the seats bolted in, the steering wheel bolted on (it had an aftermarket wheel so the airbag connectors are cut, I have them if you want to splice them back in but I'm not messing with that), the swaybars connected to their endlinks, the exhaust reconnected, and the brakes put on the car. It will come on stock NB wheels with tires that are usable but should probably be replaced.

Known issues - the biggest is that the bleeders are stuck on all 4 brake calipers. I was able to bleed them well enough to autocross for the better part of 2 seasons, and calipers are cheap. The window is cracked in 2 places on the soft top, but it's watertight-ish. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.

Some pics

Racing seats are not included, it has stock black leather NA seats.

I'm happy to take some more pictures if there's any interest. I was hoping to get it sold before the end of the season, but with a baby due any day now this is probably where it will stay until spring, when I'll get it completely reassembled and try my luck with Craigslist for a bit more money.

$1500 firm to a GRMer.

I can vouch for the seller- he's a good dude, car appears to be straight from when I saw it, and his wife is indeed VERY VERY pregnant.

Good luck with the sale. I will own another Miata someday, but that day is not now haha.

Thanks Paul!

You're sure you don't want to just swoop in and take care of all my projects?

I'll gladly do so if you sell this one to me for another bottle of Woodford, hehe!

In reply to golfduke:

HA!

Not likely in this case. Then again, this one actually works, haha

Bump. You can still make it to Florida, if you hurry!

What options does it have?
- power steering.
- ac.
- power windows/locks (was that even possible in 90?).
- vlsd.

Are the bleeders rusted? Is that the issue?

How is the rust perspective underneath overall?

It has power steering and ac, though I'm not sure if the ac works. It does have power windows and manual locks (no idea if power locks were an option).

Open diff. The bleeders are rusted, yes. Rebuilt calipers are pretty cheap of you can't get the bleeders out.

The rust situation is not bad. The rear quarters were repaired at some point, not by me. There was a small hole in the drivers side floorpan that I patched and there is a rust hole in the front passenger side fender, where a bunch of dirt and leaves collected and held water. The drains are all clear. The suspension has all been apart recently and anything rusted or seized was replaced.

Pm sent, let me know if you don't get it.
