Overview of 1975 Mazda RX-3 For Sale by Owner

Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.

Exterior and Interior

The cutesy styling of this 1975 Mazda RX-3 is very ’70s Japan, as are its diminutive dimensions and slim chrome bumpers. This red car also wears a set of aftermarket Weld Racing alloy wheels in black for a sort of restomod effect. It’s got dual headlamps and a black stripe running across the sides with MAZDA script. Park it next to your daily runner, and you’ll see just how far cars have come, yet this car’s small size makes it an absolute treat to drive quickly down a winding road of your choice. The interior of this 1975 Mazda RX-3 comes in black and seats four adults. It’s got some nice luxury features such as a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a wood-topped gear knob. We also see an upgraded sound system with aftermarket speakers and a Pioneer head unit. There’s an air conditioning unit in the passenger footwell too.

Engine

This 1975 Mazda RX-3 features a 1.1-liter rotary engine with Microtech EFI, driving the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox. The engine was rated for 90hp at 6,000rpm when new, and is more than enough for spirited performance.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
