Good footage. I'd be willing to bet that's Ann Jordan's old RX-3 from Rochester, New York. I remember it because it had the '72-'73 bumpers with a front clip from '74-'78. If that's the case, I briefly drove that car for ten minutes back in 1988. Fun car, and a lot faster than my stock RX-3 coupe. Ann Jordan remains one of the coolest rally people I've ever met.
FYI, Back in the 70s All mazda rx3 in Indonesia were crash, even worst than this... Maybe They didn't get used to "No engine brake" So if you ever find one, I can make sure it must have 808 nose cone.. I used to have 1 thou..
I can't afford an RX3 but I am hoping to buy a Mazda 808 within the next year to build a hillclimb car, Will be putting a N/A 12A bridgeport motor in it. Australians need to see these cars take some blind corners at high speed for once.
I would love to know what kind of camera is being used here. I saw this video months ago, but it's always stuck with me how impressive the quality was. Anyone know?
@secretRBRman definately! i hate it when i see rx2-4 converted to drag cars! theres only one that ive ever seen that i liked but id still rather see it on the street tho... my mum used to have one aswell which just makes it more unfair 4 me cos theyre awesome but like $40-80k for a super deluxe or savanna

Great sound, great style.
I hope the car could be repaired. Especially since it is a very rare specimen. The engine as well as the body.

Great sound! Hopefully the team will be able to rebuild it.
Oh, and great footage guys ; )
Was für ein Sound!What a Sound!
What a great sounding happy tail machine!
My kazoo runs on rocket fuel.
Aquí en Chile llegó este modelo como Mazda 808 y mi padre tuvo uno, es genial pero acá suena muy bien, me gusta. Saludos desde Arica.
GREAT SOUND!
I very like your pure sond!!!!!
Great sounding car, plenty of torque on tap like a good rotary should.
Holy crap, that really makes me miss throwing my old RX3 around in the dirt.
Sorry to hear about the off.....
I use a Canon Vixia HF20 with a Canon 360 Microphone recording in 1080p and dolby 5.1 . All my videos are recorded using this camera.
RIP
Glad everyone enjoys the video ! Jalopnik.com picked it for the HOON OF THE DAY ! Awesome ! Thanks guys!
That rotary sound is so sick! Awesome.
Did the car get fixed? Damage didn t look to bad..
13b?

well.. that was a bummer.
fogoooo se tem power o gajo meu!!!!!!
Sounds a bit more like a 12a to me. Sounds similar to the Group B Mazda FB RX7 which was a 12a.
@secretRBRman definately! i hate it when i see rx2-4 converted to drag cars! theres only one that ive ever seen that i liked but id still rather see it on the street tho... my mum used to have one aswell which just makes it more unfair 4 me cos theyre awesome but like $40-80k for a super deluxe or savanna
wish australia's would put RX3's to could use instead of drag racing them! RX3 are amazing on rallies and hillclimbs.
ROTARY RULES :D
what a noise
what the fuck was the sound at the beginning
lmao
a rotary
sounds like a bike
lol a bee....
The poor Animals.. They have no ear protection for that madness.. LOL
Don't know why so much hate for Aussies. Plenty of rally cars here. That don't pile drive.... Ambition greater than talent will do that 🤔
Where’s the hate for the Aussies🤷♂️
poor car
Clearly you do not know the definition of "ricer"
