1974 Mazda RX 2 Coupe:

Owned since 1977, Bob’s RX2 was being used as a dog kennel when Bob rescued it and turned it into a rally car. Originally competing as a Group 2 car (production-based) with minimal modifications, it competed in many national rallies and circuit events in the early 1980s, including three consecutive Motogard Rallies (1980, 1981 and 1982). It sat in storage from 1986 until 2012 when it was restored and it currently runs in historic racing classes.
