Equipment
1,597/116hp, 5-speed, alloy wheels, Sumitumo tires, added wood shift knob, aftermarket CD stereo, wind-up windows, air conditioning. Vinyl upholstery.
Condition
From the Tyler Hoover collection. Showing 28,542 miles that are represented as actual, and recently got its timing belt and water pump service. Very good paint. Clean wheels. The tires look relatively new. Mild wear on the seats but great interior with solid plastic and no scratching anywhere. Clean top. A collector-grade first gen Miata.
Market commentary
For many years the first gen Miata was the de facto cheap, reliable sports car, but lately the very cleanest examples have stretched beyond the definition of "cheap." This price isn't a record but it's close. Even in a muscle and restomod-heavy setting like Barrett-Jackson the bidders recognized how rare and desirable such a clean first-year Miata is.
