Started the partout/disassembly in Mid-November, Sold a majority of the hot items rather quickly (interior, motor, torsen, etc). Car has been mostly under a tarp at my parent's house in Garner, NC, as she has the space for it. My original intention was a Miata bodied camping trailer, but she is ready for it to be gone, so that's fine.


My good friend's wife owned the car for 3 years before I bought it in late 2014. At the time of the partout, it had 22X,000ish miles on it. It was involved in a very low speed accident, which crushed the passenger headlight, bent the headlight support metal, crunched the hood and front core support/radiator passenger fender. The car has a clean Carfax, minus one incident with a deer that required a new front bumper/hood. It has always been in the South, and away from the beach, hence no rust. With the mileage, the motor was starting to lose some steam, and I just decided to move on to a newer Miata, instead of repairing it. It was due for a timing belt, seals replacement, head work, plus the body work to get it looking nice again.

One of the first people to need car parts, needed the headlight/radiator support metal from the Driver's side, so that's why it's been cut. Front clips seem easy enough to locate though. 1999 2005 Mazda Miata Front Core Cut Radiator Support | eBay but you could get what you need for MUCH cheaper from a Junk yard or miata scrapper. Just weld the new bit on, and get it painted up.

I did drill a .5" hole in the driver's floorboard to keep water from pooling up during heavy rain storms. This can be sealed easily with a rubber bung.

For the $350, I am just selling the Miata body itself, with the windshield. No core supports or other bits, just a bare shell. The car still has the gas tank installed. I plan on removing that this weekend, unless you would want it, in which case, I would leave it in. Also, if I can find any of the extra hangars/bits that have not sold, I'll throw those in the trunk well. If you specifically want extra parts that are still available (steering column, driver's door, etc) I'll give you a good price on those pieces. The current list of what I still have is here: 2000 Miata Part Out Black (New Parts Added 4/20)

If you are interested in the car, I'd be willing to take a 50% ($175 +cost of optional additional parts) payment as a holding fee. the rest could be paid before or during pick-up. I think she would prefer the car to be gone asap, but there's a hard deadline of "Before June".

Obviously, we'd have to take care of the title issue as well. My friend's wife is a Notary, so she can stamp the title for me, then I can send it to you, and you have your portion notarized. easy-peasy.
