Hmmm, cut and check valve for the gas tank.

 

Yep; sorry, I thought I put the name in there. Long day, yesterday.

Not in the picture: there is also a rubber flapper valve in the (removed) upper part, which had essentially turned itself to goo & glued itself closed. I suspect that it may be made of an example of some of the older non-ethanol-compatible rubbers.

Cali uses up to 10% ethanol in all winter-formula gas, and frankly I suspect it may be the cause of some parts deterioration I've seen in original rubber bits.

 

Rarest parts I have are my car, and 3 glass sunroofs. I dont even have a metal sunroof for my car, I got it with a glass one installed, haha. I havent paid more than $20 for any of my glass roofs though, thats gotta be worth something. One came from the car, which was free from the junk yard, another from a car IN the junk yard for $12.50, and the third I bought for $20 when a guy left a business card under my wiper at a hardware store with his number saying he had one from his old car he wanted to sell.

lucky you. i wish i had a spare glass moonroof... i have one and i'm hording it, lol. though i could use another..

 

Don't think these are technically "unobtainium" status, yet - NOS 12A rotors. Were too cheap to pass up... now, too cool to use.

unobtanium, maybe not just yet. but super awesome to have, you bet!

 

I have a pair of MOMO's with the 4X110 bolt pattern is that rare?

 

pics?

 

How about a old Mazda nail clipper?

They came free from the dealer when you bought your Mazda in the early '70s.

Cam...

 

Gross but still cool.

 

With authentic mechanic nail-grease in the file grooves, no less!

 

pretty cool set of clippers if you ask me!!

 

Cool, but I think just a regular a keychain would have been a nicer gift. The clippers say thanks for you business, cut your nails before you come back.

 

neat, i got a pair in 2007, along with a new eshaft, and used em in an engine....

 

Those red shift ***** are rare? I have one, they're ugly!

 

try to buy a NEW one

 

Well I understood the value of that. I thought someone was saying the red one is rare. When I think rare, I think I can sell
Got a set of rear mudflaps for my FC, got them sold for 80 bucks!

 

Not really 1st gen specific, but I figured i'd ask.

Anyone got one of these in good condition they wanna sell me??? I think this one is in bad shape? Maybe missing some blue from the background???

ALSO anyone know what they are from? I have no idea???

Cheers

maybe Old School early 70s/late 60s Mazda badge? tough to gauge size since nothing to show scale.
Never seen anything like this State-side on early rotaries... Maybe NSU origin?

Why Mazda, why???

Who was the genious in marketing that thought of that?

 

I have one about the same condition and then i have one that is very similar but NOS. They are fender badges for rx3s JDM from the first couple of years.

 

Ah ok cool.

Cheers for the info.

I'll see if I can find a pic of what they looked like new. I've seen one with a orange background and one with a blue background in new condition on Ausrotary.

 

Here's a picture of the one with the "blue " background, I got the photo off Ausrotary when someone posted a picture up of their/this badge.

Looks VERY FARKIN NICE!!!!!!!!

I have also seen a photo of the same badge with an "orange" background.

Each of these badges are approx 3 inches high and wide.

Wish mine looked like this! :O(

Cam...

 

OMG.... LOL that is my badge, no joke that is a picture that i took probably 6 years ago when I was showing pics of rare stuff notice the bottom of the badge is slightly different that prevous one.

 

COOL!!!

Sell it to me !!!!: nod:
