Thread: WTB: Beater Miata

    Question WTB: Beater Miata

    My GSR was hit by a deer and so while im slowly fixing it out of pocket I am looking for a cheap (around $1K) beater to drive around. I have mainly found a few Civics but would love to get into a Miata. Not sure if any could be this cheap, just checking. Thanks guys!

    Unless you find a Barn Find or someone who doesn't know what they have, probably not. While it is possible most running Miatas bring at least $1800.
    ...and across the line.

    "Merv?" ???

    Yeah I worked for Nelson for a few years. I only do contract work for them now, been doing the videography for the Red Bull P-38. Going out there tomorrow in fact, it will be flying very soon.

    While it may be more than I want to spend, I would be interested in hearing some more about your Impreza.

    Thanks for the input black roadster!

    Ive seen some pics, It hard to believe that is Lefty's old White Lightnin!

    I understand Nelson's rebuilding F4U-4, N712RD, 97280, do you have any info on that?

    Pic?

    It is amazing how many planes they having going right now, they are very busy!

    As far as the F4U-4 is concerned I believe that would be the one they are doing for NPA, whom doesn't want any publicity. It has been a very involved rebuild.

    You really should try to come over for a visit in the next few weeks. You will not be disappointed with whats in the hangar, and you might even get to see the P-38 flying!
