1974 RX-4 Wagon
Well, Im part of the old school team now!
Picked it up shortly before christmas...it has 66,XXX miles on the clock and the orginal carb'd 13B fires up great, idles strong and runs out well. The interior is truly a thing of beauty (condition wise lol) and is in the best shape of any car (7 or otherwise) that I've owned to date.
I'd like to tell you guys Ive got big plans for it....but it'll be my daily driver in the summer after I run it through the body shop. The length of the sides of the wagon will make a great billboard for Classic Auto Body Inc.
The long and short is simply a nice paint job, two tone with some desgins. And the Classic Auto Body name of course
And cleaning the engine up, doing some regular maintenance. Im going to run fresh brake lines and replace anything that needs it as far as calipers/wheel cylinders, shoes/pads, shocks etc. and enjoy driving this peice of rotary history.
Oh, and the AM radio still blares through the single dash speaker.
If anyone knows where to find the following, they are some pieces I'll need:
Right fender
Rear bumper (blade only....or blade and end caps, form what Ive seen my Canadian model bumpers differ from others )
Any places to find wheels for our god awful bolt pattern
Edit: Just noticed that the sticker is viewable in the pics, no I didn't pay that much. $1500 CDN funds and I drove it home

VERY nice fender.....
Question: How much do think shipping would be from Nevada? Only reason I ask is I am a body man....making up some sections to weld in isn't too too much of a hassle....but a new fender would obviously make it easier and better in the end.
Send me a PM with what you'd want for the fender and approx. what shipping would cost to:
Classic Auto Body
1130 Haldimand Road 20
Hagersville, Ont. N0A 1H0 (those are zero's, not "O"s)
Thanks for the offer - Im glad to see there's other old school owners willing to help out the cause!
