WTB: Looking for a monster Miata
 

I’m looking for a Monster Miata. Buying May 15. $10k us range. NA/5.0 is ideal.

I have an NA 5.0 I am looking to sell. I am probably more in the 11-12K range, but I can get some specs and pics over the next couple of days. Don't want to sell, but it looks like I will be moving and I need to sell some things.

Here's a couple of quick photos:

This car runs and drives and it's a sleeper…and most importantly – it is FAST. I have had 4 Fox-body Mustangs, and none of them would hang with this little Monster.

The individual I bought it from had set it up to use as a drift car. He bought it from the guy who built it. I can provide you with the builder’s number for more info.

It could easily be tuned for street, drag, or drift.

I have more pics and videos of it running and driving. Just send me a message and I would be happy to send them to you. I am located near Springfield, IL.

1990 miata. 79000 miles on car. about 6000 on build. very dependable 302 with slight mods. very fast and fun to.drive

Z3 frontend? Im very confused by what I'm seeing.

where are you located? Do you think the car will handle a fly and drive?

I am located in Springfield, IL. Depending on where you are, it is probably best to have it shipped. I considered driving it back from New York, but for peace of mind, I had it shipped. I think it is pretty well sorted out, but since it's not a stock 302, I am not sure I'd want to take it on a 10 hour trip. But that's just me. I would be glad to talk through it. 217-781-3289.

Sir, DM me please with more info on this car.

I may be very interested (currently shopping a few of these swaps on west coast too)
