    @Murilee Martin: Yeah, that there is some effective marketing. Civilized but big, making big runs and of course cosmic...now available at Cosmo's Factory. (obscure vinyl reference).
    What would the US equivalent be? After all, Ford only went as far as "Galaxie"-- but they also took "Elite" --so the Pan-Nebulae Huge Powerful Sohisticate...?

    Here's an annoying but unforgettable one from 1972 - "Piston engine goes boing, boing, boing but the Mazda goes hmmmmm"

    @tonyola: I remember a strange emission-control-related quirk about these early RX-3s. If you gave it a long full-throttle blast then suddenly let off the gas, the car would sometimes give off a backfire that sounded like a 12-gauge going off under the floorboards. It supposedly was not harmful (except to the hearts of unprepared riders), but one was always tempted to look under the car expecting to see the exhaust system blown off.

    I say nice price. Swap the Mazda drivetrain for a 20-valve 4AGE/5-speed combo and trade the Mazda wheels on a set of Minilites.

    I'd want to take that thing completely apart before spending a dime on it...

    As they were starting to make a comeback, I'd read that you could pay around $3000 for an '86 Corolla (AE86). I'd imagine you'd have to be a hardcore collector and fan to buy a '69 now that it's this old.

    I'll sheepishly click "Nice Price" in the hopes that the engine swap was done to professional standards and someone didn't just drop a lemon into their Corona.

    There on the drive, I could see it in her lights.

    Also, you'd make it back if you cut it up and sold it as spares.

    Nice Price.

    I own a '69 Corolla coupe I've been building up for a few years now. The shell is almost complete and I'm debating on installing a 20V 4AGE or a 13B... This has me leaning towards the latter.

    Jesus I need to get to work!

    I said no, in part because of THE wheels but mostly because THE owner is obviously off-center with THE peculiar caps of THE.
    It really is a half-assed weekend hooner.
    THE end.
