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.
