This 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition was purchased new by the seller and spent the last 19 years in Georgia. Originally powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four, the car is now powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 that drives the rear wheels through a Tremec T-56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission and a Getrag rear differential. The engine swap was reportedly performed by Flyin’ Miata, and further modifications include a seam-welded body, a Fox Racing coilover suspension, and a Hard Dog roll bar. The exterior is finished in British Racing Green with a tan convertible top over a tan leather interior. This Miata shows 16k miles and is now offered with two sets of wheels and tires, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title.

15″ 949 Racing wheels wear 225/45 Toyo Proxes RR DOT competition tires. The body of the car was reportedly seam welded with the affected areas subsequently repainted, and additional modifications are said to include a Fox Racing coilover suspension, aftermarket sway bars, and performance suspension bushings. Five additional SSR wheels with Toyo tires are included in the sale.

The interior is finished in tan leather with woodgrain trim on the center console, shift knob, parking brake handle, and steering wheel. Features include power windows, a Bose CD/cassette stereo, and air conditioning.

Instrumentation includes a 150-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and temperature. The digital odometer shows 16k miles, 2,500 of which are said to have been added after the engine swap.
