74 repu project for sale

I have a 74 yellow Repu. The body is in fair condition, no major dents very little rust, windshield was ripped off. Has a GT shell in total I have three rotory motors and 3 transmissions tons of spare parts..interior is mostly gone. Dash gauges are not bad center was ripped off with the stereo and windshield. The cab back was cut out and is open to the shell. Doubt the back glass is still around.

Been wanting to do a ground up rebuild for years was prepping for rally racer..never got a full cage put in but that was the plan. probably still starts but needs a major over haul. It has a cosmo 5 speed shifted 3rd at 130 plus tall port motor and modified factory carb. Has a header exhaust and ported manifold..

Been sitting a long time, but cali is easy on the weather,
mostly kept covered I'll get pics together ASAP shoot me a mail.

Interested in what it may be worth?
no longer have time for the project..Make an offer!
Cheers

Where in Cali., roughly?

What it may be worth: More if sold separately, most likely, than if you can find a buyer for all of it...

Might want to check Ebay closed out auctions to see what various trucks and parts went for?

Should you decide to keep, and build: I most likely have a 'project'-grade REPU or two that could donate what bits you, (or anyone dedicated and motivated enough), would need to complete.

If it rolls, runs, and can be driven without burning too much oil... it's worth more than if not.

The truck is in Los Angeles will roll, fuel system needs to be cleaned out, but it was driven to the place it was parked
many years ago..my experience with mazdas is if it turns it will most likely start..: )

Looking to find it a good home! Great for parts and or fixing up!

DId I hear .......

Donate? Klaus did you say you would donate? You would donate what bits people would need to complete a truck if motivated or dedicated? Did you ever find any tailgate chains yet. If you are donating to the motivated and dedicated then where do we send a list?

Your hearing vs. my writing:

quote:

I'm guilty of wishful thinking as much as the next guy... but if you read what I wrote, carefully, you may notice what I stated...

...the implication being, that I probably have more than one REPU *FOR SALE* which most likely could be the donor for the needed parts in question.

They key phrase, once again: "...REPU or two that could donate..." -- NOT, "...REPU or two that *I* would donate..."

--SORRY!--

(IF, on the other hand, someone had *ever* stepped up to the plate and made any serious offer whatsoever on a 'package' of two or three... we might could talk 'deal'. Unfortunately, folks can't even seem to arrange to ship a REPU bed halfway across the country at an affordable rate, these days... so more than one truck at a time sounds... extremely unlikely... doesn't it?)

RE: Your tailgate chains -- My apologies; I utterly and completely spaced on looking for those for you. (Then again, I never got around to revamping/cleaning out the garage yet, either...)

What is a pair of those worth, BTW... and are you willing to pay the shipping?

Interpretation

Oh I didnt consider thee ole' could or would scenario. A serious offer for trucks? Well last year you were asking 10g for 5 trucks that you classify as "project grade" I am sure "project grade" means a real beater that needs a ton of time and money to make decent. Or I m sure my interpretation of that is wrond too. Lets see 10g for 5 trucks ... thats 2g's per truck not considering several thousand to ship them to where ever. Now that over 2g's per truck. Does anyone really know or realize what it really takes to put one of these togther in a decent state? Have you seen the nice Repu's on ebay lately that cant even get a couple of thousand for and they are way beyond "project grade" and actually run very well. It will take approx. 8 to 10g for exterior and the same for motor and others. Plus add about 1 to 2 to 3 years to be able to do this stuff as a hobby. SO 5 trucks will take about until the year 2020 to fix up and approx 15g+ plus per truck.. So why hoard trucks and parts when most people will never get around to fixing them up as they sit in backyards and on trailers. Whats the purpose. The novelty of these trucks are wearing off and becoming legendary only in certain peoples minds and think they are worth way more than what they got them for or what they might see one go for and the same as for parts. It is getting a little out of hand.If anyone wants to know what any of this is worth put one item one ebay twice or three times and you will see the true market. It is what it is! Let me remind you guys .. You cant be buried with all of your trucks and or parts that you are hoarding when you die and the longer things get hoarded the worse shape they become and the price keeps going up. Go figure. People should be enthusiast and enjoy the trucks for what they are and not think it is some stellar comodity to hang on too. Its a shame for the real REPU guy that is all motivated and excited to put his truck together and the parts and pieces are becoming unbearable to buy because people are price gauging. Some call it a market and I call it price gauging. If its not gauging then put it up for auction on ebay and get what the market bares. Plus all the promises people make to help or to sell or supply parts and not going through with it is becoming ridiculous as well.

Here ya go:

http://www.mazdarepu.com/board/viewthread.php3?TID=2309&FID=6

Did I ever hear what (low, low) price you were maybe willing to pay for a pair of tailgate chains (that you could get off a whole lot of other kinds of trucks in your local wrecking yard, BTW.)?

Did you express a willingness to pay even *actual* shipping?




Now that we're all clear on everything, I'll take your advice: You can look to Fleabay for whatever you want or need, and get reamed on the price, to boot -- because Ebay fees will be a part of the deal.



FYI: I'll strip my collection for the bits you want, but can't/won't pay for, and keep those... and turn the rest in for the (considerable) scrap value, before I waste any more of your time, or mine.



'bye now.

Sheesh dont cry ......

Maybe you should scraped your trucks but remember they dont like rust! People have been asking you for years for stuff and and it never comes to fruition. Thats why I/we all laugh when you say I will go look. What do you mean when you say you will go strip your stuff down? Isnt it already in pieces and stripped? I would have NO problem paying for anything or for shipping fee's but its people like you that think your stuff is gold. Like you said the emblem 'have' gone for 400 dollars in the past so does that mean when gold goes to 400 per ounce I should ask for 800 because thats what is it was at one time. NOOOOO wake up to the real world. I never offered you any monies for the chains because I know you are a bullshitter! And to be honest it was kinda of a joke for some friends one here to see what you would say and you were right on the mark and we all laughed. All you are is a back yard queen that is all talk. Take your so called "collection" to the scrapers and get what you can for them. Because we all know you wont sell them or put them together. All I hear from people about this site is people like you are all talk and a bunch of cheapos and never perform. Cant you tell the less and less real rotary repu heads come on here. Dan put together a great site for us all and people like you turn everyone completely off. Oh and by the way when I purchase from ebay there are no fee's for me maybe for the seller but not for the buyer. Dont be jealous of ebay "fleabay" as you call it. Just because it reflects reality for what things are worth and it brings your delusions back down to earth. I have paid for and shipped many REPU's across the nation by the way. I know what they are worth, what it takes to ship them, what it takes to put one together. Are you trying to make a issue here and say I never offered any shipping for the chains? cmon dont split hairs here now. Look you are all talk get real and your delusions of granger and get rid of that dial up internet line and joins us here in the real world. Even at seven stock people talk about the clowns like you on this site. Like I said .. It is real sad for the "TRUE" Rotary REPU enthusiast when there are wanna bee's who think they want a mint for their items and hoard stuff in the back yard. Dont you have stuff in the backyard like a backyard queen and you live in Oregon right? isnt there inclimate weather all year round. Boy I bet it does wonders for those trucks piled up in the back yard. Can we just call you Fred Sanford? Well actually Fred knew his stuff was junk he just prided himself that it was good junk. Ask Lamont. Hey remember You are a legend in your own mind!

*ahem*

If I own something, it's mine. I decide what it's worth to me to let it go. You don't want to pay the price? You don't get it. Period. It can be called gauging, inflation, whatever. Doesn't matter. It isn't yours to decide. Don't get upset just because Klaus or someone has parts you want but they won't sell them for little money. Those of us who hoard parts and trucks aren't doing it to artificially inflate the market- especially if you are considering yourself as the market- we already know you wouldn't pay what we would want. We "hoard" these things because we're obsessed collectors- we LOVE these trucks. They aren't "novelties" or passing fads to us to own just because they're "kinda cool". We also know (as do you) how hard the parts are to come by. Some of us know what it is like to get their truck damaged. If we didn't hoard the parts, we wouldn't have been able to put the trucks back on the road.

Just go find a truck- like one of those really nice ones that didn't sell for peanuts, drive it and be happy to own it. If you find parts on eBay or elsewhere for prices you're willing to pay, buy them. Then you can join our little hoarding club. I'll send you a membership card.

HUH?

Who is upset with Klaus? Not I. I never bargain a price for repu parts. Plus who are you to chime in anyway? Keep you stupid little hoarding memebership cards to yourself and stop sticking up for your boyfriend. You sound just as stupid and ignorant as the next guy. Hey Kansei No one knows how stupid you are or sound until you open your mouth. Just a tip for you. I NEVER bargained aprice or asked for it to be cheaper. So know what you are talking about before you open your trap! You have no clue what you are talking about or what this is about. So please shut up! LOOK at your stupid post.. you are talking about stuff that has NO relation to any of this. Hey I speak and live reality not like you. Sorry if you dont like what I say and sorry if the truth hurts. Atleast you are putting trucks together Kansei and have an interest in this stuff. Do you promise stuff to people like Klaus and dont deliver? Are you a backyard queen like your boyfriend? So please stop acting like abuddy over there and purely shut up and stay put of business that is not yours. Oh wait I do want a hoarding membership card please and bring it to seven stock next year so I can install it and you will have to go to the proctologist to find it. Yeah I do want one from you personally as a matter of fact. I cant wait!
