Right now I drive a 02' honda Civic. It's my daily. I used to have a 93' silver touring, I lost it to an electrical fire about 2 years ago. I posted pics of it in this section the other day. https://www.rx7club.com/south-rx-7-forum-34/memories-592399/

Here's the story on the fire...

Rotary Engine Pick-Up

Mazda built these Rotary Engined pickup trucks for the North American market, but never really gave them an official name so they have always been known as REPU's.

OK, thanks for the info.

I had a friend who still lives in south Arlington (he married my ex!), he had a REPU but don't know if he still has it. He used to autocross a Cosmo with SCCA and ER, that was a long time ago. He also has/had a couple of Sunbeam Tigers.

What color was the REPU?

Is it really that impresive? I'm thinking it can't be any better the the Mitsu Might Max or the Mazda b2200. When did they stop making it?

Dude, anything with a rotary engine in it, let alone a pick-up truck is more than impressive!!! That would be an understatement!!! Don't you know??!!!
The last year they made it was in 1977.
