FOR SALE: 1997 Mazda Miata tuned as Time Trial/Time Attack Track Car. Coilovers, Roll Bar, Torsen LSD
Price: Offers above $7,150
Location: Sterling, VA
DESCRIPTION
1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata track car, sold by Rally4Vets, a program of the Disabled Veteran Empowerment Network (DVEN), a 501(c)(3) veteran charity.
This has been our event car at the Rally4Vets Top Dog Championship, where our sponsors and volunteers drove it on track. We're moving to an automatic NC Miata, so this one is ready for a new owner who wants a fun, ready-to-go track car for time trials, autocross or HPDE days.
ABOUT THE CAR
This car started life as an M Edition. The original paint was in poor shape when we acquired it in 2021, so we painted it white to match our veteran charity program's red, white and blue livery and built it for the track. It is being sold as a fun track car, not as an original M Edition collector example.
