Congrats 3kitty, that's a nice car. Hope you can wait that long for it to arrive, I don't think I could.

Yes congrats!
Stop with the photos already, you're killing me! Kidding, of course, but that car is nominally exactly what I would wish for. Love the color and those first gen models are so revered. My recollection is that the really early cars came with just a few option packages, one being power windows, etc? I know I always thought at the time that the simpler, the better. If it all works out for you, do keep us posted when she comes home.
I think you got the last great one, so I'm giving up!
Bit seriously, a Miata has been one of those "some day" cars since literally before they were actually available. I've currently got a vehicle or two than I need already, so I'd need to make a few changes before I was in a position to really make a purchase. But I'm running out of "some days", and your question, more than your pursuit, is giving me cause to consider getting more active to make those changes.
Meanwhile, if you change your mind on yours, let me know. I'm in Seattle so that car is not so far away!
Congrats on your clean low mileage purchase !
We've owned at least one Miata continuously since July '89 and have never regretted the purchases. They're just great all around cars!
Congratulations . I had a 2002 as my daily driver in N. Indiana(with snow tires). Fun car. Nothing broke in the two years I had it. Found myself on an icy bridge on April 15th(without the snow tires) and insurance said it was totaled.
My Albatros resents that. Currently stripped for restore. But it's the real deal roadster. 70 MGB. Everything on it is a nut/washer and a bolt.Miatas have it all over any of the classic British or Italian roadsters. All you have to do is normal maintenance. You don't have to be a master mechanic, or rich, to own and enjoy one.

Good luck with your deal, car looks awesome.
A free Miata is good, right! I’ll soon be joining the MX-5 NA club. I’m waiting on delivery of a 1996 from a friend. It’s been modified for more power and better handling. Last time I saw the car it was in excellent condition.
Not kidding. Long time friend, he rarely uses it so... I’ll start a new thread with some pictures and what’s been modified when it shows up.
