I am going to be moving soon and I need to find a home for my '76 RX4 parts car. I drove this car for many years before the motor gave out. It is pretty complete, but it has a big dent in the left rear quarter and a big rust spot (not through the metal) on the top. I'd like to see someone get it that wants to build it and put it back on the road. There is no motor or tranny, and the center bearing in the driveline is shot. If anyone is interested, either PM me, or e-mail wankelguy@hotmail.com
The car is located just off I-5 here in Springfield, Oregon.
Thanks. -Mike

How is the house coming btw

Wankelguy

Here's a picture of the RX4.
The house is coming along, slowly but surely. I installed one of those snap-together laminate floors in the room which will be my office/hunting lodge and it looks great.
Still have to spray paint the master bedroom today, so that the new carpet can be installed on Friday.
Thanks for asking. -Mike

Got any more photos of her?
Any showing the big dent in the left rear quarter?

Kick

One thing I did forget to ask, was if its a auto or a stick.

Wankelguy

It's a manual transmission car.
Here's the bad part.

The dent doesn't really affect the rear end, though.

If I had room, I'd still want to get it.

Hey Mike,

I have sent you an email; I know you have been busy with your house. So it's no big deal.
Thanks for posting some photos of the car. I am very interested in getting this Rx4 from you. Just some more things I would like to ask you. I hope I’m not being to buggy about it. You said $200 for the car and that is comes with extra parts, is it still that? If so what kind of extra parts dose it come with, and do you have any photos of the inside of the car, and inside of the truck. Does it car come with that everything that is needed to be able to put a motor back in it. Like motor mounts, that cross member that bolts to the car and the motor. Is there anything I would need for the Rx4 besides the engine and trans?

Also what would you say about me coming down this weekend to have a look at the 4 in person and maybe even pick it up.

Wankelguy

All the motor mounts/crossmember, etc. are there.
The driveline center support bearing will need to be replaced, and the left front lower A-arm is tweaked. I have a good set of front A-arms to fix it that will go with the car. The driver's side window regulator is shot, but I have some RX4 wagon doors that may yield the necessary parts to fix that. Also, I have some extra bumpers. I've also got a full A/C unit that I'll throw in. The instrument cluster is not in the car presently, but is included. Oh, you'll need to rustle up a washer tank as I'm using it in my RX7. An RX7 one will fit. Presently, the engine compartment and trunk are full of headers, carbs, etc.
Those do not go with the car.
If you want to come down this weekend that will be fine, you'll need to pull the driveline in order to tow-dolly it. We will be loading up stuff and moving it to our new house, but I'll help you as much as I can.
Give me a call at (541) 726-4178 and we'll talk. Best time to reach me is before 10 AM or after 8 PM.
I'd like to see you get this car and put it back on the road. If I don't sell it in the next week, I'm going to have to move it to the new house and part it out. -Mike

If you end up parting it out, I guess you know I'll buy the windshield. It will go to a good home.

Sorry about the late phone call Mike.
I had my dad call you for me cause I work swing, and don't get home tell 12am. That way you wouldn't get a late phone call. I told him to call you after 8pm, but he forgot and called you at 11pm.
Ill try to call you before 10am, if I don't Ill have my dad give you a ring after 8pm for me.

Wankelguy

lol, I guess I should've specified BEFORE 10PM.
I've been sacking out pretty early since I've been working my butt off on this house.

If I do end up parting it, the windshield is yours, James.

Kick

If I have it my way, you wouldn't have to part it out. heh

Kick

Hey Wankelguy, Ill give you a call later today after 8.
Talk to you then.

Wankelguy

The RX4 has been sold.
