Old Mazda 1800 Found
Anybody restoring a 1970-72 Mazda 1800? Found this one in a wrecking yard. The old girl has seen better days but offers a few usuable parts. One of the best looking sedans Mazda ever made. About the size of a RX-4. Styling by Bertone of Italy. Super rare in N. America. The Coupe was offered with Rotary Power (13A) with front wheel drive but never sold in U.S.

Update: The junkyard with the 1800 wagon was on the news last night. Seems they had a fire that destroyed a bunch of cars. The name of the junkyard is A&A on Greenhill road just outside of Eugene. Their # is 541-689-6115. Maybe they still have it.

There was a Luce Rotary Coupe (R130) on display at Sevenstock last year. Hope it is there again this year. Not many were made as the price tag in 1970 was over $5000. They came fully loaded including a/c , power windows and power steering (a rarity on early rotaries). If you can find a copy of the July 1970 Road Test magazine you'll find a complete road test and review.

Incidentally, Soviet rotaries had the same size rotors as Mazda's 13B and 20B.
