The majority of REPUs seem to be here in the Northwest. The REPUs all came in to the US via the port of Seattle. Just my 2 cents.

I got my 74 running with custom gauges, rebuilt motor, dellorto, light flywheel, rx7 5 speed and electronic distributor, header and dual exhaust, camper shell, and an attraction to surface rust for $900.

Jumped on it. Restoration is going very nicely. I've become friends with POR-15's Metal Ready derust spray.

These trucks ARE hard to find. Most of the owners neglected or abused the trucks. Us rotorheads seem to be the only ones that appreciate them.

I cant down load that vid cus im on dial up and it will take forever. but im pretty sure its a UTE, those have all been rotary swapped, so they arent authentic, but they are still really cool.
