I have been browsing the internet recently and most of the vintage Mazdas that i see are on ebay. there has to be a better source than that.. where did everyone find their's?

 

14 years ago,i found my RX-3-SP in the Autotrader,my Rotary Truck i bought from a buddy locally.you will find them on craigslist sometimes,but you will need to search city by city,like L.A. etc.

 

found my REPU sitting in the lot at my friends small garage he was running. Had a bad motor so I had my friend ask the owner if he would sell it. $350 later it was mine!

 

I find them in peoples driveways. Just keep your eyes open.

 

I have a sixth sense....

















I can smell junk RX

 

Buddy sold me one of mine and the other was bought on craigslist

 

looks like i don't do enough searching. i should open my eyes more lol.

 

Found the first RX2 here
The RX3 on EBAy
RX4 here
REPU on vintage rotaries
and the new RX2, the local miata scrapper told me about

 

is there a vintage rotary forum that i don't know about?

 

I posted a wtb on this old school or other rotory thread and a very nicy guy sold me a '77rx3sp. just be patient don't buy the first one you see unless it knocks you socks off. remember rust is your worst enemy and takes money and time to correct---MadChad.

 

You can buy one from Smeagol. Hes got a bunch, lol... That's where I got my R100 from...

found my ride on craiglist.. Search everyday is the key..

 

I fell into mine. I saw the car for sale at a local autocross last year and didn't think anything of it. I had a car to race, well someone ran into my DD/race car and made it a DD only. So the hunt was on for a good car to race. I was looking at 89 to 91 Civic's, because I have been running Honda's for so long. My RX2 popped up on a local forum with a link to craigslist. I jumped on it because I had the money and it was something different for me. I spent a month researching the car before I bought it. Parts are hard to find but they are out there. Bonus for me, it came with a slew of extra parts. Including tie rod ends.

 

it can be difficult sometimes... then i realize i just need to clean my crystal ball

this is me at work

 

I had a complete stranger call me on the phone and offer me a virtually rust-free '72 RX3 body for FREE. I took it, of course.

 

Wow I need to start giving out my phone numbers.....Hey you wouldn't happen to have a high resolution of that avatar would you?

 

shiet. last time I gave out my #, I got calls in the middle of the night with heavy breathing.

 

I promise to wait until daylight next time I call

 

 

I doubt he's selling the rest of them. He and the choopacabra have "plans."

 

Sorry wacky next time I'll try not to breath so loud.........Hey I need to know what size flange you need for the turbo manifold so can get the right flange. I'm guessing its gonna be a t04 right?

 

It's the box cover art from a Nichimo model kit.

 

yup, T04

 

I used Craig's helper...a website that lets you search multiple craigslist .org cities and states near you.

 

Willub,You could look,and look all around New England,and maybe find one or two old school Mazda rotaries. The problem is these cars don't really exist here in New England anymore,and never were here in grea numbers like the west coast. My only bit of advise is look at craigslist,and ebay for vehicles in the south,southwest,west,and northwest. The ones that may be around here are either not for sale,or are so rotted away they aren't worth buying.

My REPU was found via mazdarepu.com,and was in GA. My RX-7 was a local car,but it is truely what you would call basically a barn find,and is not the typical car from NE.

Good luck,and if I go on strike in August my REPU will more than likely be for sale.
