Mazda RX4 13b Turbo

[@madmuso5]

Awesome. My first car was a 74 rx4 coupe, almost identical colour to this one. Bought it for 5 grand around 1998, sold it for the same price 4 years later. Talk about regret! Such fun cars to drive.

[@GrassRootsGarage]

Thanks for watching mate Cheers Pete and Ryan

[@rabbitphobia]

My first was a canary yellow RX4 coupe too, I really like the red, regardless they are a great looking car. As to regrets yeah I regret not hanging on to mine they are so bloody expensive and a really good one is rare these days.

[@jasoncurry3160]

@@rabbitphobiayeah man a total blast! I had so many of my dads friends say the same thing about earlier cars they owned like Holden Monaros and Ford GT's etc so when I bought this car back in 98 also, I knew then and there that it was a keeper. No rust and straight as an arrow.. It was love at first sight for me and I've now had this car 22 years... No Regrets ;P

[@madmuso5]

@@jasoncurry3160 they were cheap and easy to find back in the day. There were 4 of us mates that all had 74 rx4 coupes all different colours. The summer night cruises were a blast. If i ever have enough money one day ill buy one again.

[@vinnierolla]

Shmick RX4. Love the pillarless windows on the coupe.

[@rabbitphobia]

My first car was a Mazda RX4 13b coupe, great cars that still look fantastic all these years later. I can't believe how expensive they are these days.

Such a rare beauty, she is... Those deep set lights are like a muscle car.

[@vbmdsm]

Great to see an RX-4 being driven rather than thrashed! Always loved this car, mine was a '73.

[@kingkong-og4qu]

all the japanese coupes from that time are a masterpiece

[@AmilcarPenya1703]

[@howardmckenna]

What a lovely car. Proportionally perfect.

[@pittassavvas7512]

Ah my first love!! I had the same model and kept it for 5 years sold it to a guy I know from work in 1986 ,still have all the fhotos I took with it, I now have a evolution 8mr from new, and I'm not making the same mistake, I'm keeping it for my son!!

[@rabbitphobia]

I bet you regret selling it now.

[@rarevidz]

I had the 929 Coupe version as my First car when I was 18 and I adored it , I would kill for another or an RX4 Coupe ,sadly id never be able to afford one nowdays

[@GrassRootsGarage]

Yeah mate we feel your pain.

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

I miss my 1976 Rx-3. 12A. Unlike most gearheads, mine came with the Automatic Transmission and Air Conditioning. I did a slight of a RestoMod. White wheels and all white trim, including bumpers. Tinted windows, new interior and modern stereo system. Since this was the 1980s, I even had a Car Phone installed. Good Times.

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

[@AVportau]

lotta nice models back in that era. this shape was also popular in the celica fastbacks.

[@farmerman7947]

RX series, the car that pulled Mazda from the grave, beautiful car. My friend has a mint RX 7 with cannon exhaust and turbo

[@nickkoerbin5878]

I purchased one brand new in 1975 - went like the clappers and a car before its time. The exhaust system use to be a problem

[@Matt_from_Florida]

My first car was a 1974 Mazda RX-4 Coupe bought in 1978. Was the rear of my car (the silver area) ever that shiny? I doubt it! I loved that car though. My dad had said he'd match whatever money I saved up (to get my 1st car), but I saved too much and he only gave me $600.

[@GrassRootsGarage]

Matt from Florida it’s great our videos bring back memories for you! Thanks for watching mate!! Cheers Ryan and Pete

[@jasoncurry3160]

It would have been great to have one of these new. The rear garnish on mine in the video had the paint stripped then polished. I was going to then paint it and was like wow I like it how it is so lets just leave it and if I don't like it anymore ill paint it... that was 20 years ago and its never been painted or repolished!

Had I known I would have washed it and polished it haha this video is just a combination of clips taken mostly on an iPhone and banter between mates... the way it should be 👌

[@Bilalafridi993]

Hy ....whats Price of this amazing car

[@GrassRootsGarage]

Bilal Khan hi mate, thanks for watching, I think you could expect to pay between 25k to 60k for a car like this 👌

[@jasoncurry3160]

Hi Bilal I have approx $40k in Receipts for this car from small things to big things like Paint and Engine building and all the work was done by me and close mates that specialized in the trade so I have learnt a lot over the years building and know every little thing about the car :) I would expect to do it again professionally would be close to $80-$100kaud or more depending on who did the work and what was done. Pac Performance and other shops have drive in and out packages that are more... it just depends on the extent of the build

[@johnnymason3265]

Does anyone know if any used RX-4s (with automatic) or rotary pickups (with automatic) available for sale? I at least want to see if I can get one reasonably!

Dont like the design.. metallic paint dont fits the age of the car. We in europe are more for the original look..

Thanks for watching mate 👌🏻 I "Ryan" actually live in Europe now and have found the Car scene is so different. In Australia we love Original Cars too but think we love a modified/tuned version more that is not the same as everyone else. I’ve been in Germany 2 years now and still have not seen a Mazda Rotary or Datsun 510 etc.....

@@trr9230 LOL I'm glad you said it yelco is speaking for all of Europe so watch out now mate... ;)

[@rabbitphobia]

yelco the design is fantastic as to the paint what kind does suit the era? I'm only asking you as you seem to be the expert for you and of course all of Europe. We in Australia are not so hung up on what kind of paint if it looks great and this car certainly does we use it.

[@jasoncurry3160]

Thanks for watching man but in all honesty Im glad you dont like it. It was built for one persons dream in mind... mine.
