    I hope this is okay to put this here, knowing this is a TCL approved car.

    This 1990 Miata belongs to my father-in-law. Before he took ownership, it was in the hands of an elderly couple (I believe). Anyways, the car has a few aesthetic modifications; nothing that cannot be returned to stock form. I have driven it on a few occasions and even took a road trip with it to Wilmington. It is a great car and If I could buy it from him I would but don't have the room.

    And that is why I am posting this here. I want to put this out for those interested in a stock, 1990 Mazda Miata, 5-speed with around 80K miles. I want this to go into good hands since my father-in-law will be turning his attention to his 1966 Chevy C10.

    The images below are old and from when he put on the aftermarket wheels. From my knowledge I am pretty sure he has the stock wheels.




    I will try and update with some newer pictures as I have time and once he takes more. Please direct any more specific questions about this through PM and I will address them as I can. I have an idea what he wants for the car but I want to get a feeler out there first.
    My legend dates back to the 12th Century you see. My legend is quite old. The 12th Century was a long time ago. It was summer and so cold from the snow because it was actually winter or maybe it was Monday. It could have been a Thursday or possibly a Saturday or was it Tuesday though it could have been Wednesday or a Monday.

    Gah, it's a Silverstone too. That was my first color choice before I found a Sunburst. When you say "no rust" followed by "Ohio", I tend to wonder what your definition of rust is. Post pictures of the rear subframe and then I'll be able to tell you if it has rust.

    Other than the SNC from the pre-92 cars, it looks like it was taken care of really well.


    You'd be surprised how little space these things take up. You should buy it.
