In 1970 Mazda showed on the 17th Tokyo Motor Show one of the most extraordinary concept cars for its time: the RX-500. After 40 years this car is still as amazing as it was in 1970,

Even though every second of this commercial screams early 80s forward thinking it still didn’t convince enough people that the rotary engine would be the solution to every problem. The new Luce was a big luxurious Japanese battleship and weighted 1450 kilograms. Not exactly movable by its 1.3 liter 13B rotary engine.
On the other hand it hits the bullseye: luxurious sedans need a silent less vibrating engine like the 13B. Unfortunately the rotary engine lacks the torque. Nevertheless I would still like to own such a thing any day!
I love the lotaly turbo chime at the end.
This Carina Sighting is actually half a family album treasure: it is exactly how Bunta Fujiwara (or Shuichi Shigeno) would have made the Fujirara Tofu special if it were a four door car!

The ask sign in this picture caught my eye and made me wonder what the price of this marvelous original zenki Nissan Skyline GT-R PGC10 would be…
Just ask the price of this PGC10…

I thought this video was pretty funny: someone swapped a GX71 digital cluster into a Cresta GX61.
Looking at the way he plays pong with the revmeter the 1G-GTE engine was also swapped. ;)
