Wife owned a ‘73 RX2 coupe when we first met. That little car would fly !

I owned one (1972 version) for 3 days and then it went flying in Colorado when I was returning to Ft. Lewis Washington from Texas, they don't land very well, but the photo of it did make the front page of the local paper, it splayed, multiple end over end flips, multiple rolls, it did it all, it looked like it had gone through one of those crushers at the junk yard, but it sure was fast and responsive before that.

On two or three occasions, a seal between the transmission and engine failed which allowed ATF to leak into the combustion chamber. This produced enormous clouds of smoke, sufficient to keep down the mosquito population in our neighborhood. We found out that when the leak developed, we had exactly 30 miles of ATF burn capacity before the car wouldn’t move forward.
