Mazda Grills

felong · 12-27-2011, 03:48 PM

I've owned a couple of Mazda Trucks over the years but never a Rotary. My little sister had a 72 RX3 in the early 80's. While demolishing a garage a few years back I pulled a couple of grills for rx2's out of the rafters. one appears to be from a 71 rx2 with the red RE on it. The Other has the white Rotary engine logo but I haven't been able to pin down a year, the only place I could find one that looked like that was on sites located outside the continental US. I used to know a guy in my hometown of Sarasota, Fla that had a shop specializing in Rotary's and even worked with a racing team but I don't seem to be able to track him down. So of course I want something for these, just not sure what they are worth. The red RE is perfect, The white logo has a small break in the lower left hand corner of the outside headlight ring. Will post this on the classifieds when I have an idea of what to price them at. Thanks for any help.

Nice! I bet you'll be able to sell those pretty quick. I love finds like this.

I have 3 rx2 grills all 73 ,the 71 should have the center emblem sitting almost flush with the grill .I would need to see the white emblem to know what it is .Price is about 100.00 each in mint condition in the US. Cracked are worth about 80.00 .
