Those last pictures were after I polished all of the chrome and trim, washed, waxed, and installed the front bumperettes.

The 76 rx4 is a comepletely different animal for sure. It has its own attitude and power to back it up. The 74 is quiet, smooth, and sophisticated. You turn into 2 very different people driving each car.

How much would you pay for an rx4 with a little rust on the hood + needing an engine rebuild? I'm looking at one right now in my city

Depends on what it is (hardtop, sedan, wagon), overall condition, what year 74-75 or 76-78. Lots of variables so its really hard to say.

You probably should make your own post for it. You'll likely get more feedback that way. The hardtops are the most desirable I'd say but the 76+ cars aren't as desirable as the earlier ones. If its solid body wise and the interior is in good shape I'd probably pay around $3000 for it with the blown engine.

Brochure copy.

Came with a whole trailer load of parts as well as manuals, brochures, original bill of sale, and ownership from 1975. I've been working at it and with a new fuel pump and a carb rebuild it came back to life! I'll be giving it a full tune up next as well as new fluids, go over the brakes, check it all mechanically, and give it a good cleaning.
Could I get a copy of that truck brochure, curious..??





interested in getting a copy if that truck brochure.?

The Rx-4 is in fantastic shape especially since it is a Canadian delivered car. Nothing really survives here. I drive it fairly often and have put over 3000 miles on it. Works like a brand new old car. I really don't want to part with the truck brochure right now. Hoping one day I can add a repu to my collection. I've always liked those trucks. Glad you've enjoyed them for all of those years.
