That's a sad story. Your car is almost identical to my Rx-4. I can guarantee it's not yours though. Mine was originally a red car.

Like this? I've never seen Maya gold repainted to look like the original...same with the Angel blue of my '73 RX3

Bought this new in '81, had it more than 20 years (300k)...getting down to almost 2,000 lbs.

'81s are 50 lbs lighter than any RX7s @ 2,250. You can feel every pound you take out.

Wish I had more good pictures.

My '73 RX2 bought in '74, sold it to Mike Johnson when he was 18 in '82. It was his first rotary and first rebuild.

At Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course 1975

The wheels were by Rocket, Cragar style with deeper dish 13 x 5.5

Here's where the RX2 bumper was tried on the 4...not quite the solution...maybe if it was 3" lower.

This is Red at Ontario Motor Speedway, CA in '81...still not lowered and all blacked out.

What was the colour called on your Rx-4? I think that silver is the same colour that was used to paint my car.

The RX4? That was Jackal Brown...almost taupe. The scanned 30 year old photos didn't convey
the plain metallic look very well. Later it was a Ford chocolate metallic.

The RX3 was Angel blue, a very light metallic silver blue.

The RX2 was silver.

Here's a 1974 photo of my fellow rotorhead's RX2 and my RX3. We were eccentric already...or should I say ecentric?

[IMG][/IMG]


This one is one that got away. Jim Tanner gm at Racing Beat offered me this yellow 2 his dad bought new. 2,500.00 and absolutely showroom mint ('95) At 95,000 miles the only non stock part was RB ignition wires. Is the owner on this forum?

Just bought this. 88 Maxda rx7 Turbo II 103,000 original miles. Need new water pump, belts, and battery. Paid $500 for it. Runs and drives but needs work. Been sitting a garage for over a year. This a picture of the car when I got it. Sorry don't have any pictures of the car clean yet.
