Hey Matt22,
I don't have the article on my computer, so can't post it. The vehicle was in ok condition when I got it. I did major sevice, wheels, tires, suspension rubber, shocks and interior pieces. Aside from that, it is close to as how I bought it. Anybody see the article yet?

Matt22 11-05-05 12:07 PM

somebody please post it up. also can you put a pic r two of your car up here?

Where did you find an original Cosmo in the USA? I've always wondered where the handful of Cosmos in the States came from. I've always lusted after one.

And yes, post pics!

Matt22 11-09-05 10:03 AM

i am still trying to figure out how to get the pics out of the PDF format. I will also get to the store an dtry and buy the mag. that would greatly ease the process. its is a rad article though. Vita A1 is one hell of a nice guy.

I found the mag today. I don't have a scanner but I will try to get shots with my camera and hopefully get them hosted by late afternoon.

were u the one w/ the white cosmo @ 7stock? if so, that was really good eye candy :)

Matt22 11-10-05 06:24 PM

where did you find the mag at?
I need to try my local book store.

VitaA1 11-10-05 07:30 PM

Hey Matt22,

I have seen the mag. in many Safeways and Albertsons. Barnes and Noble or Borders should have it for sure! My Cosmo wasn't at 7stock, I believe that one belongs to Mazda USA.

Barnes and Noble for me. IT has 3 Proto Corvettes on the cover.

THe guy that owns the Cosmo in the mag is a Dr. Wayman Tang. I think it the same guy that had a FD on the Mazda Site.

Enjoyed the article in "Motor Trend Classic"! The only other Cosmo with the 110S emblem on the nose that I know of is in the Mazda museum in Hiroshima. I wonder how many 110s were actually made. All of the other cars I have seen have the "Cosmo" emblem on the nose.
The Mazda Cosmo that has been seen at Sevenstock is owned by Monte Mullins from Idaho. He purchased the car several years ago from a guy in North Carolina I think. The car has been in the U.S. since the early 1970s and he thinks it may have been purchased by one of the "big three" automakers for evaluation purposes. GO COSMO!

Finally my Images are hosted of the Mag. Remember this is via a Camera, as my Scanner/Copier doesn't work.

I think you can tell which file it is(there only 1 file).

VitaA1 11-14-05 03:18 PM

I have the article on file. if anybody wants, I can email to them rather than buy the magazine. Send me your email address to me: flossing888@aol.com

read it today at B&N nice car, the article said $28k for a concours condition car? that seems to be about half of what the ones ive seen for sale go for.

VitaA1 11-14-05 06:48 PM

I dont know where they get there comparative prices, as these cars seldomly ever trade hands. If the Toyota gt2000 can fetch 100k, why can't the Cosmo be worth more than 28k????

Matt22 11-14-05 08:39 PM

very ture and i think the cosmo is worth over 28k. my question is how mny people really knew there were two different models of the cosmo, the a and the b. the difference being the front of the car and the distance from the rear of the door to the rear fender. how many of eah are still around? which is worth more? but I would really like to know how many are around world wide...

Crit 11-14-05 09:12 PM

Because the 2000 GT looks at least 4 times as cool. Sorry, but it does.

Matt22 11-14-05 09:25 PM

lol that car does have a great history as well. its some very good reading.

bliffle 11-15-05 11:42 PM

Is that the Curtis-wright 110 with 6000 miles that sold about 6-8 months ago for $25k? I arrived on the scene too late to bid.

VitaA1 11-16-05 12:19 AM

Yes, it is the same car.. good memory you have.

bliffle 11-16-05 08:07 AM

Nice car. I would have bought it at that price, but I don't know how high I would have gone in the auction. How was the condition of the car?

VitaA1 11-16-05 10:07 AM

The car was fair condition when I got it. it drove bad. I had to change many suspension parts as the rubber had seriously dry rotted. Best thing was it was complete. Some new parts were made using the old as patterns. ie. shifter boots, knobs etc. Drive train was gone though and serviced at Rick's Rotary. If you knoe Rick well, ask him about it, he has driven it. Seeing that you are in the bay area, you are welcome to come by and see it.

bliffle 11-16-05 05:09 PM

I'd like to see it some time. PM me your phone and address, please.

wow, are there just a few screw-ups in that page labeled "mazdas magnificent obsession"

the years are off but im assuming thats because of production and release dates in japan. But come on, there was no twin turbo 2nd gen, thats embarassing.
