FEEDBACK !!! if you cant take 10 min to read thru our feedback on the cars we have sold here over the last 10 yrs, then you also shouldnt be bidding on our auctions. Ebay offers our Feedback rating for a reason,... try trusting it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: this Mazda truck is rare on the fact alone its one of the few Rotary trucks to survive over the last 35 yrs. Aprox 69k miles documented on the Az title shows to be original. According to the last owner its been propane injected and supercharged for many yrs, a way old conversion, but done well for its day. Because of the use of propane, it could sit for long periods of time with no worry of gas getting old and doing more damage. As a matter of fact, the engine oil is so clean because of yrs of propane, you would think its just been changed if you pulled the dipstick to inspect it. In reality its not been changed for about 4k miles. If you like very interesting vehicles, that constitute sleeper status and draw a crowd at car events, this truck is for you. Its also nice to give vehicles on the road today and run for their $. Its fun to drive, has great power, and actually rides way better then I expected. The exhaust sound at idle is great, and the whine of the roots style supercharger (which is almost half the size of the engine) when you are on the throttle, will put a smile on your face. With propane about $2 a gallon, whats not to like....more below Its been mostly we gather an original Az CLEAN ARIZONA TITLE IN HAND I know this car spent some years in the Washington State area before Arizona. DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
DRIVETRAIN: factory 13b Rotary matted up to a 4 spd manual transmission. The car was converted to propane and a supercharger was added many yrs ago. Sounds, runs and drives great. Plenty of on demand power in any gear. No idea what brand any of the parts are or who made the conversion. Personally if I were to keep it and if I do, Im removing the tank from the bed and would put a smaller one under the bed. As it sits now it works great. The gauge on the tank no longer works. Wiring could be cleaned up some but its functional. Not sure if the Jacobs Electronics are actually hooked up at the moment. No weird noises coming from the rig, and no over heating etc. INTERIOR: take a look at the pics. Very original the best I can tell but old and shows wear and tear, but more comfortable thenyou may expect. Would be simple to restore it. Factory tach and speedo work as do all the gauges in the dash I believe. Windows all work. Ft glass windshield has a crack. Dash cracked obviously. Carpets mostly gone, but the floorboards look surprisingly okay. The whole car could use some cosmetic work or resto no doubt. Or there are people who would drive it just the way you see it. All the exterior lights work and some of the dash lites too. Although the headlights are now on a toggle switch. Radio is gone too.
(check out all the pics and if you have any questions, please ask) Odometer shows aprox 69k and is original.
EXTERIOR:the body pretty straight for its age Windows roll up and down,The doors work fine. Being in Wash for a number of yrs it has more surface rust then Im use to seeing, and some bubble spots too. The AZ climate has slowed much of that down. The white exterior paint is the original color and the car looks to have had touch up paint done in several area. Its a 20 footer at best. Looks better in pics, but ads to the appeal of the sleeper look too. The hole was cut in the hood many yrs ago. The chrome on the ft bumper and grill are in great shape.
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks normal from what I can see Shows typical wear with basic repairs done over the yrs. I know some steering parts where replaced recently and it drives down the road ok. Steering feels a little loose, so maybe looking at the steering gearbox next and rebuilding it may be something to look at doing in the near future. As is, Ive been buzzing it around town and knowing its an older truck, have had no issues with it. The BFG tires have good tread, but they are probably 5 yrs old. Id still drive on them no problem. Minimal rust under the car, making taking this car apart if it comes down to it. Not a 100% Az car, but far from a rust bucket too. Found very little rot under the car. Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you go, probably The BEST represented TRUCKS on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a non restored car these speaks volumes. Survivors are getting harder to find ! Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you. If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they are selling, what are they hiding ? maybe their car is not the best car to buy long distance. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart. We go all over and under our vehicles, better then most sellers, to provide great pics to help making your decision easier. Along with ANY other questions you may have. Email me for a quote for shipping.
