FS: 1991 Miata - custom paint, roll bar, coil overs, etc

I love my car and I had no intention of selling it, but other priorities are starting to pop up in my life. My teenage son needs a car and I have a spare Miata parked out behind my shop. I have two little boys that I really should spend time with and I'm a recent grandparent as well.
I also have an unfinished project of a v8 S 10 Blazer with backseats I could take my kids out and if I just had a few extra dollars to finish the project. But my extra money tends to going to buy stuff for the Miata at one time. That should change.

DETAILS:
1991 Miata. I have owned it for 2.5 years. It currently has about 170k miles. On an all stock motor. Registered and inspected.

I did a tuneup and the following maintenance items since I bought it... plugs, wires, belts, battery, air filter, PVC valve, fuel filter, starter, radiator, thermostat, valve cover gasket, flushed and bled new brake fluid.

Body
- 1996 corvette grand sport theme. Admiral blue w/ arctic white painted stripe. Originally a white car. Vinyl red hash marks on fender. Matching hard top. Sherwin Williams basecoat clear coat paint 2 years ago. Not flawless but very nice. I hit a cone at high speed at mineral wells and chipped the front bumper. Just had it repainted.

Spare parts

I thought about that, but I like this car too much for that kind of abuse.

The interest will be largely determined by the price. Got one in mind?

Mike will buy it for 1500 cash today!

$1501

Love the corvette grand sport theme.

Wish I knew the price so I could convince my wife we need another lol

This is a beauty! Very clean and perfect paint job! Best looking 91 around!

Sad to see you trying to sell it but it's a great looking car. Should be an easy sell. GLWS

Love what you've done with the car! I may be interested myself.

I remember watching your posts on the car when you got it and how it transformed into this amazingly blue car. Sorry your selling it and GLWS.

A grandparent? :faint:

How many miles now? Timing belt, & water pump changed lately? All this factors into price. miata.net classified may yield you more money.

Give it to the kid. Accident statistics for young drivers show the risk of accidents increases dramatically as the number of people in the car increases. You can only have two in a Miata.
And it's hard to text while driving a manual.

The hard part will be borrowing it back for Miatas@Hallett.

Greg,
i know how much you love this car! Keep it, sell the kids!

Would you be interested in making back some of the money by selling the suspension and swap for decent OEM?

I would rather not. I'd be very sad if I keep the car then

pm'd

Interested if still available.

Still available. Just getting over being sick now. Ack

email me at gwalsh at ymail dot com.

I just took lots of detailed pictures that I plan to post soon. As soon as I can get to a computer.

Without the trailer I relisted it for $4,900 obo. The miles keep climbing as I keep driving it. I really like this car, just being a responsible family man. Sigh....

This beauty ever get sold?
