We see Mazda rotary engines thrown into just about everything these days and we generally approve, but this seems like a fantastic version AND, for once, the car originally came with a Wankel. The RX-4 was one of Mazda’s many interesting, and relatively obscure, creations.
It never came with this Wankel, however, as it’s the Turbo II engine from a second generation (FC) RX-7. Turbo performance, 70s styling and what appears to be a great restoration (or preservation?) combine to make a very desirable car.

This sleeper gives away very little.
Clean lines from every angle.
Cool interior – we’re guessing coverlay doesn’t make a dash cover for the RX-4…
This is where the magic happens.

I have a 1974 Mazda Rx4 for sale. I have owned it for 18 years and recently restored it with a new paint job, turbo II import motor with approximately 30K miles on it and Turbo II transmission. The car is in great condition inside and out, never had rust, garaged most its life except for 2 years i was in college and the original paint pealed off. It has tokico front struts with camber plates, kyb rear shocks. Haltek E6K engine management system and a 1983 rx7 limited slip rear end with disc brakes. I added full dynamat on the interior for a smooth rattle free ride. the odometer reads 99k, but the new transmission didn’t adapt to the stock speedo cable so miles a a few thousand more. I have been in processes of adding power steering and have all the components but didn’t complete it yet. It could use an alignment also because i took front suspension apart to re paint it all also.
