Equipment
RHD. Michelin XZX tires, dual wing mirrors, woodrim steering wheel, wood shift knob, Clarion radio, factory air conditioning.
Condition
More powerful Series II car with 5-speed. Owned by Mazda employee for 40 years. Light pitting on the headlight bezels and door handles. Very good older repaint and chrome. Kenwood speakers in the back. Very good lightly worn original interior with somewhat cloudy gauges. Corrosion in the rockers and lower bulkhead, as disclosed by Gooding before the sale.
Market commentary
The bidders don't seem to have been much if any deterred by the rust announcement, probably on account of the otherwise highly original and untouched condition of this Cosmo. A little corrosion after 40 years of continuous ownership is not unexpected and this is even with some rust a solid value at this price.
