Good luck! They all seem to be in New Jersey or Washington/Oregon. Or, for some reason, Alabama and Georgia.

Here every now any then. Also, just paying attention to where the people that own them live.

Ain't any around here (unless imported from northwest/southeast/northeast) probably because Japanese cars seem to rust audibly, and how many people bought Japanese cars here in the 70's? (Sheez I get spit on by truckers now and then... it's still foreign-unfriendly in Cleveland, I imagine it must be worse in Detroit)

Yeah the damm heh I own a datsun 510 and I remember seeing it at a car show two year before i purchased it and it was super clean now it has sevral surface rust spots. My way to fight it is as much fiberglass panels as I can find which is almost all the removable panels except rear quarters and roof I guess I will just paint the hell out of that on both sides heh

I have one RX-2 left over that I'm selling, see my signature for the URL with photos.

It's a RX-2 coupe with serious potential for drag racing, autocrossing or road racing. Full race cage, GSL-SE RX-7 rear end (installed), new fuel cell (installed), recent paint, recent undercoating/paint on front end of car.

Car is currently almost completely stripped, no engine or interior. Front suspension needs to be installed/finished. All other parts like the wiring harness, pedals, brake booster, clutch master cylinder, etc. are all included with the car.

$1800

Yeah, keep thinking about taking a little road trip with cash in hand

But then I get sad when I realize the car would turn to metallic dust after only a year or two unless I keep the car garaged and only drive it 3 months out of the year
So pretty much I'll never own an older rotary.

My RX-2 has lived in GA and AL its whole life, and it still has slight rust on it.

LOL "White Trash" was a Texas car all its life and you saw how bad it was? It wasn't that bad when I got it. For some reason, cars that lasted a long time in a low-rust environment fall apart much quicker up here than one that's been up here all its life.

I remember around '96, someone brought a pristine rust-free '90 Prelude up to Cleveland... less than a year later you could eat corn on the cob through the fenders and rocker panels. Less than a year! It was really sad watching that car fall apart like that, even if it was just a Honda.
