if mazda put out a rotary powered truck again, i would trade my jeep in a heartbeat. i would not care if it were turbo'd or n/a. i would get one.

me too.. but the chances of that happening.. we'll see.. i would like to make a newer repu though.. since i love the 86-93 bseries body style..
|
Hercules also made a rotary motorbke.I don't believe it sold too well

What are the basic prices, and what to look for when buying a REPU.

"It is estimated that just over 15,000 total units were built. Most were made for the 1974 model year, due to the energy crisis putting a damper on sales, Mazda restamped many of the 1974 models with a prefix "S" designating it as a "1975" model. Approximately 700 units were built for the 1976 model year. Mazda invested in a moderate redesign for the 1977 model, updating electrical systems, adding an additional 4 in cab stretch for more comfort, and adding a 5-speed manual transmission with different differential gearing. However, after about 3,000 units, the REPU was discontinued due to poor sales."

Re: What Is A Repu..?
Suzuki made it for 2 years. Releasing it in late 74 and discontinuing production in 76. It was called the RE-5, for rotary engine 500cc. It had a single rotor and performed like a 2 cycle bike of the same vintage. No torque, but using high revs made it fast. Reliability was a problem as few shops could work on it and the Suzuki rotary was very tempermental.
