1974 Rx-4 In The Wreckers So-cal

Dont' PM me or anything else about this. Just wanted to give you all a heads up that there is a RX-4 in the Midnite Auto Wreckers in Riverside. It's off N. Waterman and 6th street. The car still has it's stock 13b in it and is a manual trans. A friend of mine was there today and told me about it. I have no pictures but he said teh bumpers and all body trim was still there and very nice. So anyway just letting you all know.

Good luck!!!

If the opprotunity presents itself to get another RX-4 I wouldn't turn it down. I miss the hell out of my 4 and I wish I would have just stuck it out a little longer. But I was so pissed after that engine ordeal that I didn't want to deal with it anymore. Now I have gotten to know a few other engine builders and have hung out with them at the drag strip and feel confident that if I did it again it would turn out right. I would built it exactly the same as I did my old gold car too. I liked the way it rode and turned out.

Anyway fellas good luck with the part picking.

I went to see it yesterday (just for a few minutes) on my way back to LA. here's a list of things that are missing:
Front nose including grills
Overhead console
Front and rear bumpers
rear tailights
No motor
Tranny is there and it has a removable bellhousing
lower streering cover gone



Dashboard cracked and the prior owner glued carpet lining on it.
Front buckets and rear seats appeared to have been re-upholstered and just need shampooing
Most chrome pieces are there
