Auto-FD, engine broken all in parts, perfect interior.
found it on this past mothersday 8am on autotrader for 5k. I called, nice lady who didnt want it also said she had almost all the parts from the motor.I said, oh snaps, I can do the rebuild + swap and learn what I can about the 13B.
well, its on its way to my casa all the way from Seattle Washington to South Miami, talking about traveling distance.... arrives next WEEK!

oh yea the reason the engine is in pieces, its because her son's friend tried to convert it into a 20B + do the swap, but ranned out of money... so Idk, i might be even getting the accessories for a 3rd rotor in the parts...
I feel like having lucky charms with surprise inside >_>

Found mine new at the Mazda Dealer. A white base model few wanted in mid 1994.
Sorry, I know that doesn't help you today.
By the way, I came very close to buying a friends 1994 Supra Turbo that week. He inherited it from his father who was terminally diagnosed a few months before and wanted to go out in style so bought a fully optioned black on black model and drove it only 2500 miles before, well, ya know. Truly Beautiful car. Solid and damn fast. Problem was it was an auto trans (fully optioned) and I've never owned an auto as my personal driver. That Supra hooked me on getting a new sports car so I thought I'd try a manual RX and a manual Z TT before I made a final decision. I never drove the Z and I never tried to locate a manual Supra. I test drove the RX first and my mind was made up. It was everything the Supra wasn't: agile, raw, flingable. I've had her nearly 14 years and I'm still in love.

eBay is a lot safer than you think if you do it right... 3 months ago my parents bought me an S2000 off of it and met in the middle of where we lived to test it and bought it... But lost it due to really stupid choices. Just pay cash in person. NEVER do paypall or they still technicaly own the car still...

Hey. Off topic, but was your car originally from NYC? I remember a FD like yours with tan interior and a custom backseat.
