I like them both but it seems that the rx2 might be a bit cheaper

to quote others

Where are the Rx4s....

Hiding.....


Yea Mel they are hiding..... at my HOUSE... LOL

my choice I agree that the Rx2 is the best choice with the least work I am partial to the Rx3 over it though and I will agree with others there were NO 76 Rx3-SPs, that is a 77-78 only option

there is a 76 RX-3 SP. it has the SP tailights instead of hexagons. look at e-bay. the white RX-3 with half-bridge was in my driveway before it fell it in his hands.

between dave and humpty, Im jealous. Wish I have a big flat backyard so I can have my own junkyard LOLLL

All it takes is money, I will take..... 1 billion dollars........

Mel ?? it was listed as a 77 ?? did you mean 76 because the build date was late 1976?

honestly when it comes to the 3s you probably have more knowledge than I do.

I think both are great cars <favorite is the rx3> I think both cars are become very rare to find, if you can get either one gett the one that you like the most ,you dont wantt to pass years later and regret what you got, I never have regreted gettting my project, ever I think if i would of gotten a rx2 I would of, but both looks so good

I dont remember but it was a 1976, and there is sticker also on the hood that says SP. I was surprised to find also. It was sold withn a few months as if its not smog exempt, it aint worth keeping. 1975 and below are smog exempt in CALI

if you want a nice street / race car take the rx3 ? if you want a car that is super smooth that you can give your mom a ride in , then go with the rx2 ? I have had every rotary but a rx4 ? now I have 3 rx3s ?

Grab that Rx4 then come ask me someday about the idiot that owned at one time and how he cost me 2500$ cause he used the wrong spark plugs and doesn't know how to instal an oil pickup in a new engine. Of course if it is the same person that owns it now he will claim foul but the teardown showed it all esp when we cracked the oil pan off.

Still it is a nice car and I do know where it came from.

It has been in texas for sometime and has been for sale a couple of times within the last 2 years. Don't get me wrong it is a nice car, I won't buy it though. I don't want it I have enough 74s at this moment. I could say darn close to exactly where it is but slidn7 has dibs on it and I don't want to screw up his deal.

My vote is for the RX3. RX4 and RX5 are the ugliest of the RX series imo.
