A friend of mine and fellow NEPOC member just purchased this classic Mazda RX-4. Hope you enjoy.

ooh la la!
|
OH MY GOD!!!! Where did he find that? If I would have seen it for sale I would have packed up and gone and picked it up. I'm so jealous.
|
My Dream is to now have a long driveway, with a street sign that Reads Mazda Rx8 Blvd. LOL
Nonetheless, that's awesome, its kinda weird/awesome how Mazda got the Muscle car look better than most Muscle Cars. |
He also has a REPU and a mint RX-7 with a rebuilt engine going in next Sat.

I should also mention what he plans to change. Going back to stock wheels, removing front fog lights, and removing rear bumper guards. |
beautifuL pictures.
|
Goodness gracious that's a gorgeous car.
|
I actually like those wheels, then again, never seen the stockers and I agree the rear guards and fogs look out of place-ish.
I was just daydreaming of owning one with a 4 Rotor, it would be a Muscle car that looks like one, and performs better than one. I drove into one of the old school car meets that we have around here, and guys were like dude... your mustang looks weird, and it sounds like your engine is blown. I laughed, and then snapped out of the dream. Really happened like a min ago... I think I need sleep. |
That yellow '79 looks just like my 1st car...except for the wheels. I bought it in 87. The wheels are grey with these aluminum rings that press in. I painted the wheels black and they looked much better. I swapped the engine out and those "O" rings between the engine and the exhaust manafold can be a bair to put in. I also had one of those white racing beat air-filter covers. Those black parts around the windows could never keep their paint on with my old one. I haited how the tail-light screws were on the outside of the car too. Thanks for the memories.

Very cool. I'd much rather have that than a old muscle car. It should be emission exempt in CA too :)
|
It's an addiction. Great find.
|

|
absolutely gorgeous.. you never disappoint altspace!
|
DAMNNNNNNNNN!!!!! That shits CLEANNNNNNN!!!! Me likey
|
Most welcome. The opportunity to photograph was there so I took it.
|
nice, mini-muscle car:)
|
It'd be awesome to own one of those... Not even sure where I'd start if I was looking for one of those.
|
The RX4 is very nice. Love the rotary symbol on the back.
|
^That's the trunk key hole cover. It swings open. ;) Also notice the rotary shape in the front emblem.
|
beautiful RX-4! hate the wheels and the fart can. nothing nostalgic about a muffler like that. glad to hear that its coming off though. i also love how the brake master cylinder is parrallel with the firewall. neat retro stuff! at any rate, love the spark yellow 79 with the 83 LE wheels!! your friend has great taste!!
|
Thanks. Yes, the LE was the donor car of many parts. Sadly it is not in any restorability condition. I should have taken a pic of it. Poor thing rusting away in the yard.
|
thats sad..i've restored a lot of RX-7's that would be soup cans by now, lol. personally i would've found a way to save the LE. only because its the 7 thats always eluded me. i've always wanted one, just never found the right deal or location.
|
gorgeous car. Lucky man!
