i know its not a 1st gen but its old

 

Thats Freakin Sweet!!!

 

actually that would have a 10A engine in it, should have a dual dizzy setup and a four barrel....damn 65K I could almost aforad it but then my wife would cut off my trouser snake just for considering that

Kenn is right. The L10A had single dizzy, while the L10B had dual. Either one is sweet though. Who cares if it isn't a 1st gen, the L10A cosmo is the car that made the rotary famous!

EDIT: Upon further reading on Wikipedia, there is no such engine as a 10B, just a couple variations of the 10A. The L10B Cosmo made 128hp, while the L10A cosmo made 110hp. Both used a 10A engine with single dizzy.

 

single, or dual? I never saw a cosmo sport up close, but all of the rotary familia's I saw over here (with a 10a engine) had the dual distributors ????

AFAIK all rotaries had dual distributors until 1974.

 

Yep - 10a's all dual dizzies - All Cosmo's had dual dizzy 10a - can see em in the "engine" pic on the auction site. Most old L10A/Bs have a newer RX2/3 12a engine by now. Impressive to see an original 10A. Too bad the interior's been gummed up with aftermarket seats and st. wheel
Neat car tho...

Well, that's it. I'm putting the house and wife up for sale Monday. I guess someone will let me sleep at thier house!

 

if you allow them to drive that car they will :P

 

i put a bid in it.

 

but now i am outbid

 

Got any pics? (Of the wife, not the house).

 

WOW That is magnificent!!! that is not too far away from where I live. Damn nice car!!!

 

Really makes me wish I were one of the mega rich people in the world right now.

 

Is this when rotaries were reliable? The auction says 80k miles on it, and the interior is redone, so it's probably been driven a bit.

 

Yea the cosmo is the ace in the whole as far as Rorary power cars.

Wow 25 grand for a cosmo Im keeping my 7! I only paid 400 CDN
