73 Mazda RX-3 wagon

I know that this shouldn't be here but we latinos are obsessed with old school and I figure my wagon would get maximum exposure here before I put it on Ebay....

I have a 1973 RX-3 stationwagon that a lot of blood, sweat and tears were put in. I have put a lot of $$$$ invested. I am downsizing my cars. So here is what is has....

12A low mileage, Rotary Engineering Header, Electric fan, MSD 6A, Accel coils, electronic ignition, RX-4 oil cooler, 6 puck clutch, Custom exhaust with 2 presilencers, Racing Beat Air Intake, New master cylinder, rebuilt brakes. Totally rebuilt radiator with heater line hookup. NEW WINDSHIELD and the list goes on. The wagon will need paint, some interior work and suspension like ball joints and tierod ends. I drive it everytime I have a chance.

Pics are here, to show the restoration process.

I am looking for $3000 OBO which I think is a decent price for a rust free running RX-3 wagon. No Trades and ridiculous e-mails will be ignored.

Your 3 is an ideal project car. I wish I wasn't so committed. Someone is going to be very lucky.

It wasn't easy, I was happy to get it running. Some of those pics are outdated. The last few pics are pretty much they way it looks. Like Erik says, it doesn't need outrageous stuff. This is what they call a "running restoration".

Let me bump this up, I am trying not to drive this thing because, I will get that bug again and change my mind about selling it. I had to get it out of the way because it was behind the 91 GTU. At 5am, this wagon cranks right up. It's great to have a good working Nikki carb on it.

Vendi el GTU del 91 so de nuevo la condenada guagua es el daily driver. Decidi mandarla pare alinearlo, lo arreglaron bien, las gomitas estan derechitas al frente y ya no tenia ese "camber" loco. Unos Americanos aqui que lo hacen a mano todo. Imaginate que hasta los dealers de carro aqui mandan clientes alla. La guagua no estaba tan estable a 80 mph en el highway... Ahora puedo andar mas duro, el unico problema es que no tengo ABS!!!!!!! Jejejee!!!!!!!Esos frenos no frenan bien. Y eso que le puse los caliper nuevos, los cylindritos, y frenos. Tambien tiene bomba de freno nuevo. Creo que voy a comprar el kit de RESpeed para convertirlo a discos atras....

Se convirtio en el daily driver mio de nuevo y corre de 20 a 30 millas diarias. Estoy seguro que llega donde quiera ahora. Todavia esta gente en Virginia piensan "WTF?!?!??? is that?"

Ven aqui a este sitio y vea las fotos. Ahora mismo el carro tiene lo siguiente.

Aros Weld Racing
2 MSDs
Diferencial GSL (discos)
Guia Fittipaldi
Alternador 91 con doble pulley
Pulley Racing beat al motor
Cables Moroso
Motor 13b ahora esta humiando, el motor viejo supuestamente tiene baja compresion. El motor esta el en piso en el garaje mio de la casa.
Lineas -10 AN braided hasta el tanque para la gasolina
Lineas -8 AN bradided para nitro hasta el tanque
Numerosos fittings Earl's AN
2 Bombas Holley (Azul y Negro)
Sistema de Nitro Sniper ( La botella esta llena todavia)
Holley y araña Racing Beat
Header Racing Beat, 2 presilenciadores, mofler Racing Beat
Amotiguadores Tokico
Resoltes Racing Beat

Y tengos cosas de ella que le quite porque supuestamente el motor se habia dañado.

El motor que dije anteriormente
Transmision Turbo 2 cortado para 79.
El cardan nuevo completo con los uniones que se pueden cambiar. Las puntas nuevas.
El interior immaculado $2000 se gasto en el 98
Pintura le doy un 9 de 10. Restaurado el el 98 tambien $3800

Pero ya no le tengo el cariño de antes por el evento que me paso a mi.

Tengo mucho pero mucho dinero ahi. Yo se que no voy a recuperarlo pero ojala que otro le puede dar el cariño que yo le di antes.

La mujer esta super encojonado por el dinero que gaste en el. Lo quiere fuera de su vista y prefirio la guaguita antes que ese.

Si quieres llamame en confi al 757-593-5168.

Jerry,
I have a customer that owns this rx3 wagon and I think he may be interested in another project since this one is complete. I will give him your number.
Thanks,
Chris Sanders

Hello Chris and Stas,
The wagon is istill available. That customer's car is pretty, I hope it's not a V-8 under the hood...

Stas, I am sorry, that I haven't responded to you. Yes, I do have the wagon, but I am always leery about new people in the forum, I always think I am trying to scammed by people with no posts. I am sorry about that.
