The Juice is Luce: 1976 Mazda RX-4

This next car comes as a tip from JB1025 who writes: Just don't see many of these from the mid 70's too bad for the automatic but owner has a 5 speed to go for extra green $$$$$. Personally, I think it is funny how much these look like the similar vintage Isuzu I-Mark. Find this 1976 Mazda RX-4 offered for $10,000 in Portland, OR via craigslist.

From The Pen of Giugiaro: 1972 Mazda 1800 Luce Sedan

The Mazda Luce isn't just another random Japanese classic from the early 70s...because it was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone Design Group and looks more Lancia than Mazda. Unfortunately the car was a flop when it was new and only a few where imported and a smaller number have survived the rust over the years...so I'm pleasantly surprised the few remaining are so cheap. Find this 1972 Mazda 1800 Luce sedan offered for $2200 in Olympia, WA via craigslist.  Tip from FuelTruck.

A Luce By Any Other Name: 1972 Mazda 1800 Wagon

I've seen a variety of cars over the past few years.  It started with random internet searches for keywords and blossomed into an obsession with the launch of DT in 2012, but I've gotta admit..I've never seen one of these before. Really.  I've seen Mazda 3 wagons, Mazda 6 wagons, but never have I found one of these oddball Mazda 1800 wagons from the Luce lineup.  Find this 1972 Mazda 1800 Wagon offered for $2000 near Seattle, WA via craigslist. Tip from Steve L.

Luce In The Sky: 1974 Mazda RX-4

Mazda's early 1970s rotary lineup included the compact Familia based RX-3, the mid-sized Capella based RX-2, and the Luce RX-4 -- which was supposed to be Mazda's personal luxury coupe. Unfortunately the RX-4 didn't sell well in the US because the personal luxury coupe buyer wanted a comfortable ride, an automatic transmission, and low end torque, which is the exact opposite of a rotary powered Mazda.  Find this 1974 Mazda RX-4 here on eBay bidding for $5,600 with a few hours to go, located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Few Remain In The Cosmos: 1974 Mazda RX-4 Luce

Mazda's rotary engine has always had too much of a reputation for boom-boom for this particular cylinder lover to ever go zoom-zoom, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a cool collectible when I see it.  The LA2 generation Mazda Luce/RX-4 isn't something you see every day, but it sorta resembles a 3/4 scale 1970.5 Ford Falcon.  Find this 1974 Mazda RX-4 Luce offered for $6,000 in Cupertino, CA via craigslist.
