'67 Mazda Cosmo

[scuncio]

I hesitated posting this, but these are some of my favorite Japanese cars of all time. Revolutionary design with the rotary engine...and the styling is very nice IMO - a little over the top but very futuristic and a little Alfa Romeo esque.

Back in the day I rebuilt 2 of these engines. Never again!

Thanks for posting as I'm a closet Wankle fan w/ a few Rotary adventures in my past also still have a low mile Black RX8 GT plus of course, a Wankle Snowmobile.
Love to see an L10 Cosmo live but w/ low production also few imported to NA, never have yet although I know Jay has one also there is/was one in Western Canada too.
Other than forward mounted side mirrors and '60 Ford Tail lamp design, L10 Cosmos still look pretty good for being 50+!

Wake related- did anyone watch the Netflix show "Fastest Car"? It was painful to see the one guy smack that original paint Mazda.
