It's a 1971 r100 with a turbo II swap

1971 mazda r100


I told him we could talk about 5000 maybe, if I had to chance to check the car out and it was in good shape. I just cannot see this going for 13,000..


Any one else have thoughts on a ballpark price for this?

I have seen R100's in the $30k range. $13k for a nice looking turbo R100 sounds reasonable to me.

If I had the cash I would scoop this up in a heartbeat!!!!! 5K is w/o a doubt a lowball offer, I wouldn't even entertain it.... She's a beauty

You'd think for that price he could have at least left the radio in it.

That must be one of those fancy air-cooled rotaries that you never hear about.

Oh wait *reads fine print* "all it needs its a radiator to drive"


Gorgeous car tho, i'd say worth the asking price, more so if it was actually driveable.

or the radiator... if it ran, i think his price is in the ballpark, however, it doesn't have a radiator in it, cause it wont fit, because the R100 can't fit a 13B, without cutting stuff

probably just as well, its a teeny car with no brakes, 300hp is probably frightening

You have to wonder about someone selling a setup that is almost complete, but doesn't bother to follow through with something as "simple" as a rad install. There's more to this than meets the eye.

And like j9fd3s, a street ported TII swap in an R100 brings up the image of Wile E. Coyote on roller skates with a rocket strapped to his back and lit match in hand.

the most fun/frightening (funtaning?) rotary car i've ever driven was my friends 76 Rx3. its like a danish cookie tin with 200hp, and no brakes = exciting!

to make an FD that exciting you need to buy one with problems take it to a shop, and get the repair bill.

I also found myself wondering exactly what that intercooler's going to accomplish, what with the hood sitting right across the top of it an' all.
