Yesterday's sad Cosmo got me thinkin - there has got to be a better example of a Cosmo for sale around the web..and...well...there wasn't. However, there is a decent supply to Mazda RX-3's around, which were called the Mazda Grand Familia in Japan and sometimes people mistakenly describe them as a Cosmo. Find this 1972 Mazda RX-3
currently bidding for $12,000 with a few hours left to go on ebay, located in Lewisville, TX.
Under the hood is a Mazda 12A rotary engine that was originally rated for 110 horsepower and 100 ft-lbs of torque -- probably a few more with the street porting job and bolt on aftermarket parts. The seller will include a new in box 12A engine as a spare, along with a box of other parts.
The inside of this RX-3 looks in decent shape, mostly original parts (shifter notwithstanding), but it isn't a perfect example.
