The Piston Foundation is auctioning off a 1999 Mazda Miata MX-5 on the Bring a Trailer platform to raise funds for their scholarship program. This particular Miata is notable for setting a land speed record of 165.296 mph in 2011 and racing in the SCCA Spec Miata class. The auction will take place from October 23 to October 30, and all proceeds will go towards creating scholarships for aspiring technicians. The previous auctions of a 1973 Datsun 240Z and a 1960 Willys Wagon raised $154,240, providing scholarships for 27 students. The Miata’s owner, Harvey Siegel, hopes that this donation will help young individuals pursue their car-related dreams. The car has a unique history and is fully restored and race-ready, making it a coveted item.
