Hey, I'm Joe.. I live in Pea Ridge but my uncle and I own a shop in Springdale so thats where I spend most of my time.. I have a '74 Mazda REPU Rotary Power Pickup 1st year truck with the 13b.. I plan on restoring it as soon as summer rolls around and business gets better.. Incase your not familar with the Rotary Pickup offered in the 70's go to www.mazdarepu.com and theres a TON of info there.. The rare things about this pickup are that 1. it's still around, 2. it's a 13b truck (only offered with the 13b in '74 then after they came standard with the 12a), 3. it has an Automatic Transmission VERY rare for any REPU, 4. it has FACTORY AC that I have to get working again, and 5. it's a dependable daily driver that gets me to and from work every day (about 120 miles a day) and still gets about 22 miles to the gal ;D ... Well.. thought I'd check out the site and drop a line and see what it's all about.. I'll see what I can do to post some pictures later on

Drifthappy... What year/type of escort did you have? I drove a '97 4dr. w/ 5speed. I loved the little car despite it being slow. My friend had a '91 5dr. Auto ;D ...sigh...Those were the ricer days...We destroyed the 5dr.. We went through 2 transmissions from neutral dropping. 2 Engines, throwing rods out the bottom of the oil pan is always fun. We jumped a creek and landed out in the woods after a little too much e-brake while doing our "Rally Practice" on a dirt road. ;D What it would be like to be a kid again. Oh wait... I'm just 20. Does'nt still make me a kid. I cant buy booze!!
