are here in canada?
I have had one or another for years, almost never see others on the road.
If you have a old rx post here

not really easy to get.
I know where there is a rx2 at a farm north of edmonton but i am sure
it would only be good for parts.
a friend has 2 for parts not far from where i am, rust has taken most canadian
cars

I know there are canadians with old rx's out there, most in b.c.
lets see a showing here to find out how many are here!

1974 RX-4 Wagon

Here's some pics of the newest addition to my rotary stable:

The car is in great shape actually, despite the indications the right fender may point to. The interior is in the greatest shape out of ANY car Ive owned in my life. I mean, there isn't even cracks or butt-dents in the driver's seat! The car and engine have 66,6XXmiles on it as it sits and they were racked up by the only other owner - an old lady . The original carb'd 13B runs out quite well. Theres a couple minor break up spots in the power band, but the car's been sitting for god knows how long.

Right now its parked out back awaiting some attention in the body and paint department and Ill probably get at that in the summer when Im done with the current projects.

Im very happy about my purchase and by the looks of this thread one of the very few old school owners around!

No Shawn its a Canadian car, but I guess at the time of production Canada hadn't made the switch to metric.

I'd love an RX-3 too, they're soooo sexy, but my little runner will still put a smile on my face.

Canada didn't change over to mandatory km/h speedometers until Labour Day weekend, 1977.

I have a 1975 Rx3 and a 1974 REPU. I bought them both on ebay each for under 500$ and imported. They were both under a days drive away too

I've been jonseing for an RX-3 for a while now, but I've never been in the position to go out and find one. My RX-7 is pretty old though, come to think of it. It'll be an antique in a few years.

Matt, you should've seen the mint RX-3 that was at Cruise Weekend. Guy paid < $3,000 for it in that condition, too!

my wifes father has 2 REPU's one boosted and one in need of a new engine, he also has a fully tubed SA with a full bridgeport T78. It should see low nines or eights this year. He also has a 88 vert. The local rotary guru, been building these cars for years. Right now i only have a '85 gsl/se but would love a rx3

Glad to see there are some vinrage RX's in Canada. I was starting to lose hope.

I love that silver blue RX2 out of Alberta, RX3 In BC, and that Wagon RX4 in Ont.

regards

Max
