1972 Mazda RX2 review from North America
"Fun little Project"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the Alternator.
Replaced the Distributor Cap.
Needs regular adjustment to keep it running reliably.
Nothing major has gone wrong with this car, but then My Dad and I got it as a project car, so it was what we expected in terms of the nickel and dime repairs.
General comments?
A fun little performance car which will easily out perform a period muscle car stock. Hard to get parts for in my part of the country. I sold it to a guy in NJ who says they are much more common around there.
