John,
     Las Vegas. I only paid $50 for my RX-3 with the rims. So I bought=20
two rims and got the other two plus the car for free. Of course they had=20
trashed the trans and the engine but I didn't care about that. The car=20
was in really nice condition inside and out and I liked the rims.
     So I found a totaled Cosmos and bought the engine and trans. The=20
Cosmos had the larger 13B engine and the five speed. The RX-3 came with=20
the 12A and the 4 speed. I was driving a Datsun 510 that someone had=20
converted from an auto to a manual. Mazda made a lot of mistakes with=20
the rotary. the most crucial one in my opinion was that it wasn't ready=20
for prime time yet.
Thanks,
rich!
