No Reserve: Modified Euro 1987 Mazda 323 GTX

This 1987 Mazda 323 GTX is a right-hand-drive example that was imported from the UK by the seller in 2015 and is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four driving all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a locking center differential. Equipment includes dual rear spoilers, a power-operated sunroof, four-wheel disc brakes, and bolstered front seats, while the car has been modified with a VF11 turbocharger, a Yonaka intercooler, an aftermarket exhaust system, 15″ Petrol wheels, and height-adjustable D2 coilovers. Service under current ownership is said to have included resurfacing the cylinder head along with replacing the pistons, starter, alternator, and rear brake pads. This 323 GTX is now offered at no reserve with awards, import documents, and a clean Minnesota title in the seller’s name.

The car is said to have been refinished in its current shade of silver following bodywork performed in 2018 that included repairing dents, filling in scratches in the fiberglass bodywork, replacing the windshield, and applying a rust preventative coating to the frame. A body kit with a revised front splitter, rear bumper cover, fender flares, and side skirts is fitted, and additional features include dual rear spoilers, a power-operated sunroof, pop-out side windows, and a rear wiper. The factory foglights have been removed, and graphics have been added to the exterior of the sun roof.
