This was my first Miata. A 1991 Classic red (automatic) Miata. Now, before anyone goes off on this being "not a manual" bull, it still drove like a Miata. Still had the suspension, and top down enjoyment of a Miata.
I bought it in 2005, from the original owner, a co-worker of mine. She had 85,000 miles, and came with a matching hardtop. Price $2300.00
She had the original suspension (shot), and a few rust bubbles on the rockers, and a wood interior kit. Other than that, she was in excellent condition.
The first thing I did back then was swap out the saggy original shocks & springs, for a set of Bilsteins from a 99 NB, rebuilt and painted the brakes, and painted the stock daisy's.
