Nice

Hello

I have noticed in the past couple of years that all the old school rotary's are being sold more quickly these days. Those original owners are still selling them cheap not knowing this increase in popularity but once the cars have crossed hands the prices demanded are getting much higher. I was just offered 20K for mine with a decent cash deposit in hand and I did not sell. Our secret is coming out and fast. Vintage auto's are all the craze now and many people are getting in on the hobbie. Considering that only now is Mazda being regarded as a vintage automobile in N. America having recently past 35 years of age (30 to be truly an antique and here since "1970") its only normal. Now consider how rare a Rotary motor is compared to a piston engine and I predict that the value of these Rotary cars will climb to where they should really be. Good for those of us who own them and bad for those looking but you can't have it both ways.
Its very nice.
My 2 cents.

Max

Well, it is NOW. Here's the way it was originally, but really not bad for a northern truck, and the previous owner is a rotary guru and took decent care of it.
