Supposedly, a "Mazda factory engine" was installed less than one year ago.
$50 starting bid on an 85 GSL. Too bad I am 1/2 way across the country....

400,000+ miles....guess I should replace the pressure plate in my 85'. Only 170K to go to hit the 400,000 benchmark.

That is an assload of miles. That is awesome. Down with all the naysayers! Even though it has a replacement engine from a year ago, that was still a ton of mileage out of the original engine.
