Bet it's an RX-4. Had one as a company car back in the late 70's. I remember it would really move, and BACKFIRE like a ****!
Wierd fleet of company cars at that place, an RX-4, Dodge Colt (with on headlight busted, someone put a piece of wood in it's place with a drawing of a bloodshot eye) and a AMC Gremlin!
Nobody wanted to drive the colt, as I recall....

It could be an RX3 or RX4 wagon. There were no RX2 wagons that I'm aware of, at least if there were they weren't imported into the US. My first rotary *** whoopin' was at the hands of an RX4 wagon when I was in my BMW Bavaria. The guy punched it going up a two-lane highway onramp and after belching out a huge cloud of smoke, he just blew by me. I caught him on the first big sweeper, though. That BMW had Bilstein struts and Koni shocks and would corner pretty well.

Yeah they were quick. When I was a youngster I had a Cosmo and my buddy had an RX-4 sedan. The RX-4 would kick my Cosmo's a$$ big time! We think it may have been ported but we weren't sure.

Prosthetic head.
All I can do is laugh. The only reason I could see to EVER make a high-powered station wagon is as a joke. Exactly HOW much hash was Mazda on when they made this?

He hasn't broken his front suspension, that's how much camber he runs!
I may as well plug fullboost while I'm here. It's an Australian motorsports (mainly drag racing) site. They always have fantastic photos!
