1976 Mazda Cosmo

64,853 Kilometers The Mazda Cosmo, aptly named due to the international fascination with the Space Race at the time, was produced from 1967 to 1996. The original Series I model was offered only as a two-door coupe with a rotary engine known as the Mazda Wankel engine. This engine showcased Mazda s focus on future developments and technology, and the concept was carried on through all future generations. An inline 4-cylinder option was offered with the second generation Series CD as well, but the rotary engine remained the most popular choice in Japan due to lower road tax obligations. Also with the second generation, a fastback body style was offered and the third generation Series HB brought with it a 4-door sedan option, as well as the end of the piston engine. The Cosmo s fourth and final generation, the Series JC, introduced more luxurious, state of the art options such as a Car Communication System, color touch screen, mobile phone, GPS, and NTSC TV. Additionally, similar to other Japanese luxury brands at the time, the fourth generation Cosmo was offered only as a 4-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. However, sales began to dwindle, most likely due to the fact that the Cosmo no longer complied with Japanese government regulations on dimension, and production ceased in 1995. Third party pre-purchase inspections are welcomed and encouraged. All vehicles sold by Duncan come with a clean U.S. title.
