So sad that the 4 is an automatic. But otherwise it's an excellent choice for a project car, and it could be converted to a 5-spd by an ambitious rebuilder. Best of luck with the sale.

Thanks for the compliments guys, she's definately a beauty, but the RX4 was just recently sold. As for the RHD I'm hoping to fetch $2K on eBay, but I'll take $1500 if sold privately.

On Series 1's the tacho also functions as the voltmeter. Not sure when it does which though.

Mid 1970s 13B rotary engined pickup truck built by Mazda and sold in North America at that time. About the same size and weight as Toyota and Nissan (Datsun) pickups of the day, but performance-wise the Mazda blew both of those competitors into the weeds.
