Hello everyone. My father and I are possibly looking into purchasing a RX-3, most likely a roller. We have a few questions regarding certain options and the years/models they were available in. First off is the tail lights, we really like the square ones and aren't sure what year they were available. Second, the front+ rear bumpers, what model had the black plastic ones? Lastly the rear window louvres, model, year?

 

The model you have pitures of is the 77-78 #0 model

 

the rx3 ran from 72 to 78. bumpers and grill changed through out the yrs, but none had plastic bumpers. i think the sp was only in 77 and 78. be prepared to pay quite abit for one tho.

 

Were hoping less then $5000 guess we ll see what happens, thanks for your input guys, it helped.

 

your basically looking for a SP, it's possible to get one for less then 5 grand but it would be a big project, your best bet in my opinion is that you would find one in the west coast of the US. Or you could buy a 74-78 rx3 and just find the bits and pieces to build a SP.

good luck

 

I got a 74 in decent shape, lmk if interested lol

 

PM'd you.

 

there are 3 types of 3. not all markets got all 3 serieses. this list is for the US models

the 71-73, S1. twin dizzy, thermal reactor, chrome bumpers

74-76 S2. engine got redone, iron apex seals, single distributor. the nose cone got redone, and we gained the big steel bumpers, still chrome, just BIG

77-78 S3. looks the same to me, but its not. the SP was an option, different suspension/mechanicals/5 speed.

 

did you find an Rx3-SP yet?

I have a daily driver that I'm getting ready to sell. Very strong 12a

 

No we havnt yet. Could you send me some pics and more info? Thanks

 

So any rx3 77-78 is an SP?
Or am i mistaken?

 

Yes... but not many 78's at all...

stripe kit or not the 77-78 were labeled Rx3-sp on all coupe cars that I owned

 

I've got a 73 RX-3 and a 71 R100
Anyone looking for a R100 for restoration?

 

I have an R100 and an SP, both for sale, both have current plates and titles!

Rx3-Sp is driven everyday and the R100 is now complete and almost a daily driver!

each in the 8500 range...

Tons of extra parts...

I will post an ad, and list on ebay soon....
