Welcome to the forum!! Looks like a Sunrise Red car based on the color code. The color code RH was used for quite some time by Mazda. I'd love to see pictures of the car. Does it currently run and drive? Do you know any of the car's history?

1974 rx-3

I'm the second owner. I bought it in 1986 for $300 or $400 it has 64,000 miles all original as far as I know. I don't know much about old rotary’s however.
I drove it home and parked it in my dads barn and it has been there for years.

1974 rx-3

4 days ago I tried to see if it would start.
and no it was locked up tight.
and another old school rotary story has begun.
Marvel M oil down carb, removed plugs more oil in plug holes-19mm socket ratchet hours later it moves. Removed carb kinda cleaned with brake cleaner.
