There's one for sale in Texas if anyone is interested. These are super rare and super cool lil wagons. Nice find. Can't wait to see the build. You should build this as a 12A Turbo Fuel Injected car.

thanks for the link. I bid on 8 cars. I was pretty disciplined about it. Had written down a not to exceed price on each vehicle. I came up empty on every one. Thanks for the link. it was a fun experience to bid on and watch the bids continue to go higher and higher.

Now back to the build thread......cant wait to see how she turns out. I vote for keeping her white with red interior and a nice set of white wall tires. 13B - BP under the hood.

looking forward to seeing progress on this. Coolest mazda body shape imo. love a good psyco 1300. Plus with the skills you have demonstrated with some of the DIY on your race car, this is going to be good.

Lots of wagon love here. Two great examples thanks for sharing the photos. It's becoming more difficult to find a clean, solid example here in Aus.
