I assume its the rusty Gold Coupe, if so i think 700 is a good buy if the car is complete, if its solid its a GREAT buy, but it looks like it needs work. Thats a 74, that the only year to have that front end and those tail lights, 75-78 they changed the front slightly, and the tail lights, plus 75 saw the big shock absorber bumpers. Good luck, cant wait to see more.

Hello guys, I started the disassemble today!!! The body got some big cancel but it going to get save!!!!yay!!!, well I found some original papers, like the bill of sale and some registration. the bill of sale and the regi mach the same person true the year's, now listen!!! the car has the license plate and it was last register in 1980, the registration paper said that it was register in June of 1980 with 26735 miles and the odometer reads now 27765!!! so is original miles. the car was driven for 6 yrs, well it get's better, the window's were busted and the back glass and gun shot in the driver's door and Q-panel,HMMMMMM, maybe that's why it was left in the barn!! well now the car is mine and I B-came the second owner, the car is amazingly complete rusted but complete, it has the factory Mazda oil filter, all the floor mats that said Mazda, all stickers, is all there. well is time for resto, I will keep in touch.

for the pics, you need to post them on a third party site like imageshack, then post the url on here.
Have a look at my rx4 here.

wow! you have taken on a massive job there!
There's no way i would use that for anything other than a parts car, but thats me.
All the best of luck to you and i hope you do well, i look forward to the resto thread of this car.
put up some of the other pics, they are very interesting

Rather than restore it, I would do something interesting with it. Make it into a track day car or something along those lines.

Matt Black, wide steel rims, throw together 13b with a dirty big weber on it would be cheap fun.
