The second generation Mazda RX-7 was known as the FC and over 270,000 examples were built in Japan from 1985-1991 for worldwide consumption.

This next car comes as a tip from JB1025 who writes: Just don’t see many of these from the mid 70’s too bad for the automatic but owner has a 5 speed to go for extra green $$$$$. Personally, I think it is funny how much these look like the similar vintage Isuzu I-Mark. Find this 1976 […]
The Toyota Starlet KP61 generation was the first and only Starlet sold in the US Market and in 1985 it was replaced by the Toyota Corolla FX-16. Unfortunately, the FX-16 that replaced it was a front drive un-fun box, but the Starlet was setup with proper rear wheel drive…not that you could tell with the 3 […]
Over here on “this” side of the Pacific Ocean, it is easy to associate the Wankel rotary engine with Mazda’s sweet RX-7 sports coupe…but over in the land of the rising sun, there were a few other cars that got the spinning apex seal roaster, like the Eunos.

Remember when Mazda purchased the rights to build the Volkswagen Beetle and started shoving 13B rotary engines into version that were setup from the factory as Baja racers, and then Donald Trump was sworn in as president. Wait…that stuff didn’t happen? It was just a dream. But you were there…and you…and you… Find this 1969 […]
By Matt –– Forgive me for making assumptions here but you, me, and all of our friends are priced out of the original Mazda Cosmo, Skyline GT-R, and Toyota 2000GT, among many other things. Most of us would have to switch to Ramen diets to even afford an RX-3 or 240Z that isn’t made of […]
The original Datsun 510 Bluebird was sold in the US market from 1968 through 1973 on a well engineered compact unibody platform that used MacPherson strut suspension up from and semi-trailing arms out back. Power came from a SOHC 4-banger that was basically Nissan’s 240Z engine with two cylinders lopped off, but today’s 510 is […]

Find this 1976 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo offered for $10,500 […]
