Out to pasture

I ran across all in these, so I thought I would share them.
Anyone else have pictures of dead or dieing Mazdas.

I should have taking more pictures. Three of the cosmos are rebuild able, the Blk, red and yellow. The other ones are parts cars. There are 3 1st gens with some good parts. And one second gen over on its hood. The parts pile was manifolds carbs and all kinds of stuff. The other mound was all types of trannys, rear ends exhaust pipes.


I was told there were only 10,000 cosmos that came to the States.
the cosmos will have to stay there. BTW no one ever cared about the cosmo- not even slightly popular.

Mazda snuff ****...that's EXACTLY how I feel having seen this! Who abandons that much money in cars / parts in a beautiful field? I cant' imagine someone not understanding the value of this lot.

I may need the help of a psych to get over the trauma this post has caused.

This is exactly why we have to save the FBs. I saw mine heading for a junkyard before I bought it.

That thread on the nostalgicjapanesecar.com almost made me cry when I saw the cosmo 110 in the snow...






SERIOUSLY!!?? Is that a toilet seat in between those doors?

One of these things is not like the others.......

That's a real shame, you definitely need to see what you can do about saving one or two of those cars.

ran across this 83 LE in a boneyard a couple years back. the junkyard owner wants $200 for the car but will not move the cars around it so that i can haul it out and restore it. he acts like he's too busy to take my money. our dispute has been going on since 04.

83 Limited is just a regular run of the mill GS with paint and 14"wheels.

1979 Leather Sport is where it's at.
