Yes,  Hemmings, one of my favorite automotive sites. Not sure about the Wankel though.

It's a Wen Mac Mk III

Only two years for running AND pretty? Congrats on the acquisition. I always thought Mazda stole the shape from Porsche.
I'm getting squeezed to get the 944 running. I told wifey I'll replace the clutch this winter. But it won't be pretty...

I always thought that Mazda stole the 1986's styling from the 944. Just so close in design.

In 22 years Marks RX-7 never saw the inside of a garage, out in the weather, snow, rain, you name it. Yet it never presented with a problem outside of the occasional dead battery. He did most of the maintenance, but the weather took it's toll on the exterior. When he finally sold it the paint was just a memory IIRC.

Not a deal yet on the SE, holding my breath. But I'm as excited as I have ever been. It's been sitting forever. Probably another locked up like Wen Max or Cox engine. Marvel Mystery oil down the spark plug holes to loosen the Apex seals while I tear the interior and body apart. Nothing gets moved until the oil is changed ..... Fun times-a-coming. My true element.

Those were a nice car back then, and still are! Nice purchase!

I have the remnants of a Wen Mac Bonanza but in the opposite colour- green bottom, white top, although the top is missing, so I'm assuming.  When I got it it only had the fuse bottom with both wings snapped off (I suspect the seller decided to sacrifice the wings to reduce the shipping), undercarriage, bellcrank & rod as well as a pretty nice Mk3 engine, with original unbroken prop.  Bought it for ther engine alone, so not really sure what to do with the rest of it.  It would need a pair of balsa wings grafted on and a whole new upper fuselage fabricated.

Graft a new set back on, paint to match.



I've fallen for the little guy.  Fit's right in.

Straight, no wing warpage, no cracks, just a really nice dirty little bird.  A buy it now sale that had ran for several cycles.  Seller had over 2000 itmes for sale, made an offer that was accepted.  These are pretty desirable, it's a wonder that it lasted as long as it did.  




Oh yes, more new arrivals. Mark went flea market this morning. Thimble Drome catalog on the right is really special.

Nice score!

Thanks Chancey, The Sandblaster was five bucks, no shipping, no sales tax. The PT-19 was $125 with the Thimble Drome catalog which Mark says is quite unique. PT-19 is like new. Too bad it's not one of the off-colors, egg in my beer. My two PT-19's (or is it one, I think I sent one to Ron Cribbs) are pretty beat up. This one will probably be put away.
