1974 Mazda RX-4 (RX REVO) owned by Deen


HISTORY OF MAZDA RX-4

The Mazda RX-4 (called the Luce Rotary in Japan) was an automobile sold in the 1970s. It was a larger car than its rotary-powered contemporaries, the Capella-based RX-2 and Familia-based RX-3. It shared the Luce/929 chassis, replacing the R130 in October 1972, and was produced through October 1977. Its predecessor (the R130) and replacement (the rotary Luce Legato) were not sold in the United States. Mazda marketed the RX-4 as being sporty and luxurious with the RX-4 having the best of both worlds. This gave Mazda a well needed boost in the popularity of the Wankel engine unique to Mazda.

The RX-4 was initially available as a hardtop coupe and sedan, with a station wagon launched in 1973 to replace the Savanna Wagon. Under the hood at first was a 130 hp (97 kW) 12A engine, but this was replaced by the larger 13B in 1974 producing 125 hp (93 kW), for export. This engine was Mazda's new "AP" (for "anti-pollution") version, with much-improved emissions and fuel economy, but somewhat worse cold-starting behavior.

In South Africa it was produced until 1979, all years only with the 12A engine.
The car used an strut-type independent suspension in front with a solid axle in the rear. Brakes were discs in front and drums in the rear. Curb weight was low at 2,620 lb (1,188 kg) and the wheelbase fairly short at 99 in (2510 mm).

The body was freshened in 1976.

1977 Mitsubishi Colt Celeste GT AKA Plymouth Arrow (Little Muscle), owned by Alli

CELESTE HISTORY
The Mitsubishi Colt Celeste a.k.a. The Plymouth Arrow (United States) was an extension of the Dodge Colt known as the Mitsubishi Colt Celeste in Japan. It was also known as the Dodge Arrow in Canada. It was a small 2-door fastback coupe with a hatchback instead of a conventional trunk.

The Celeste/Arrow was released in September 1975 as a 1976 model.For the Plymouth Arrow a 1.6 L
I4 engine was standard with an optional 2.0 L I4. It was produced in various trim levels including the 160, GS and GT. For 1979, the styling was freshened and a sporty variant called the Fire Arrow was offered, which had special decals, sporty interior as well as a 2.6 L I4 engine and four-wheel disc brakes. The Fire Arrow had one of the best horsepower/weight ratios among U.S. production cars at the time because of its light weight.

Although the Arrow was a Japanese product from Mitsubishi, it borrowed styling cues from various European and American cars including the
Bricklin, Alfa Romeo GTV and Plymouth Barracuda. Because of the Arrow's long, narrow, aerodynamic, lightweight design and rugged suspension, it was used extensively in various types of racing including SCCA road racing, rally and drag racing. The Celeste/Arrow body design was used on funny cars in the late 1970's.
