Damn!
Roger Beasley's personal collection... (!) Even I have heard of Roger Beasley Mazda...
Betch'a it was/is worth the reserve, and then some.
Too bad it's an automatic! Those tended to last to about 70K...

yea, but I have lots of tranny's....
so that wouldn't keep me away. Although 1500 miles might.
I bet the toll free number might reveal the reserve though....
I wish...I wish..I wish.......Santa!!!!!!

Although it said automatic in the ad,it appeared to me to be a manual transmission.It had a standard H pattern on the shifter,with a normal manual shift boot,and three pedals in it.I think it was just a mis-print.Look at the pictures closer you will see what I am talking about.
On a side note the truck was obiously re-painted,but it doesn't look to be the stock color,unless there were more than one green Mazda used.My truck is green as well,but it is not that shade.Although it is a 74,and that truck was 75 so maybe they changed.

That is a shoddy job on the paint not to do inside the door jams or under the hood.

Then again...
...as far as overall appearances go, I'm always a bit skeptical of smallish pics via the 'net... could look substantially different, in person! Much better, or otherwise...
BTW, Ken--Did you get me email? Make contact with Mike?

Am I seeing things,or does it look like it has a torsion rod type hood prop like a courier?Did the 75's use this system,or did someone change over to this style?I really know little about the 75-77's seeing as I own a 74 that has some stuff on it that isn't stock.

No, your not seeing things.......
as far as the hood prop is concerned. I have a 75 with the same set-up. All my 74's had the standard hinge latches, but my 77's and at least one 75 has the torsion rod. I have a 76 and another 75 that I can't recall ecactly what they have. I haven't seen either in a few months.
And about that shifter, I did see that, but I never read the info up top to see they listed as auto. I do like the a/c though. I can't wait to get my 75 with ac running.
Yea, I guess the paint is a bit cheesy, but still looks like a decent platform. I guess he wants a bit more than we here are willing to pay. He listed as a b-series and might have done better if he used REPU in title.
Klaus, did get email, thanks, but been gone lately. I will email you back later.
I also might have a line on a 75 rx-4 nearby, I need to get more details. If I had more bucks, there is an sp in Cal, that looks nice on ebay, but way to spendy.
