1973 Mazda RX-2, originally owned by one family before we purchased it 12 years ago. This RX-2 lived its entire life in Colorado and has been a dedicated autocross car with a healthy mix of originality and period performance modifications. The car remains an exceptional runner and is a blast to drive — lightweight, analog, and full of rotary charm.
