Close, in a guy's personal salvage yard. He though he owned it for about 5 years and he bought it out of some farmer's field. It's been outdoors for a few years. But the price was right, and the 10A still turns over!

Buggy,
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for rescuing that beautiful car! What a wonderful transformation. Keep us updated on the progress, and upload pics when it's all done. I love these old-school rotaries. I can't believe more people didn't enter because there are so many great ones out there. Thanks to those who did!

Thanks! I'm going to put a build thread together of the Rx-4 once it's completed. I've got a lot more pictures of it as it was being built, and I'll take more detailed ones of certain parts of the car. I'm getting really excited at this point to finally be able to drive it after almost a years worth of work.
