I tried, but got sniped. D'oh. I bid the max I was willing to pay, considering shipping, so it's not like I would have bid more had the guy been bidding with me, but it sure sucks to go for days, thinking you might have the thing, only to have it yanked from under you with 30-sec left.

I hearya. I was actually considering bidding on that REPU, but I have way too many cars right now so I refrained. Who knows, maybe the high bidder will back out and you'll get it.

Hello Crit

Man that was one clean REPU, and good price too!

Like Smeagol said, maybe the winner backs down and you the next one on line.

Let's just hope.

Did you received the copies?

Crit, I have a '74 REPU, not in as good of shape, but I'm sorta looking to sell it. It's white and runs but needs some suspension and brakes. Also an exhaust because what's on there is crappy piston engine stuff. It's not loud but sounds less than ideal if you know what I mean. Talk to me.

Sorry fellas.. I had to grab it. I'll have her in a week. But at least I'll keep it in the family..lol! It's good to know she will be loved ;-)

Ciao..

ll, its good the repu fell in another rotorhead hands, not someone that want to do v8 swap!
Congrats on getting a clean one!

redline83

Thanks.. There arent any really here in the NYC area... at least I havent seen any...so I'm excited to have it! Now the hard part.. waiting for the trailer to arrive! I'll post pics and any progress I make. I can tell you now.. I already have a twin weber set up. Anyone against that? I don't know what I'll do about the suspention yet though.. donno if I like the leaf springs.. also the 6 lug pattern and rear drums.. we'll see. But hell no! No V8 is going in there! The v8 is in my 2002 BMW 540..haha.. sorry I am a salesman.. I can't take clients out with a brap brap brap!!! haha

My buddy had one of those in highschool, and I had a chevy luv (same body style).

He always kicked my *** when we raced, which had to be the funniest thing to watch as he had engine problems and my luv was just gutless as could be so it took 3 miles to get to 60mph.


I wish something like that would pop up locally, I'd love to own one.

that was a nice one I was contemplating on biding but no back seats...lol

2wankel from CT has a clean one he bought of Jerry

Thanks for the support people.. Like I said.. It's in the family now.. don't worry Jason.. you got 1st dibs. Haha

ROTARYROCKET7

Cant wait to see it when he gets it home =).

Crit, you should have bid more, lol. That's one of the cleaner REPUs I've seen in a while and well worth the money. It would have made a nice companion to your other yellow one. By the time I finish the restoration on mine, I'll have a lot more than 3k invested, not to mention the time involved. This one would have been a great starting point for a complete restoration or even a wild custom.

this what i was worried about,Redline83!

Sure I should have bid more, but there's only so much you can blow without the wife noticing. That amount, minus what it would cost to ship to Atlanta, is what I bid. I'd like a shot if it's ever for sale, but I'll find another.

And you're free to put links like that in here, so far as I know. There aren't but a few dozen of us, so it's not like you'll have hundreds of FC jackasses flaming you for it.

redline83

WOW.. 450.00.. its worth it for parts.. but I can't swing another grand for shipping :-/ .. I only need the battery door I'll never find one!

Crit

iTrader: (6)

That truck came with a white battery door. The seller verified it with me via email. Your truck should arrive with it.

redline83

Sweet.. thanks for looking out.. I didnt even ask

I'll have her on Sunday can't wait!

Sorry- don't frequent this forum hardly at all. Some of you will recognize me from mazdarepu and vintagerotaries, others from WAY back- IRC boards back in the early '90s, before forums even existed (as we know them now, anyways). I usually hung out on the efNet servers.

Nice score, redline! I almost went after it just to have another one as a driver, but the excess money wouldn't have been well spent right now. If my '76 wasn't so rusty, I'd consider putting her back on the road, but it would just need way too much work.

Trochoid- $3k invested? That's it? I paid $4800 for mine, and easily have $3500 more into her at the moment, and she's not even done yet. Maybe we're building/restoring to different levels....
