1975-1976 Mazda Roadpacer AP

Production Period: 1975-1976

In 1975 the Mazda Roadpacer AP appeared on the Japanese domestic market complete with a 13B rotary engine and three-speed automatic gearbox. To those with an untrained eye, the Roadpacer bore an uncanny resemblance to the Holden Premier of the day, which came about because the the project was a joint one between Mazda and GM-Holden in an effort to reduce design and manufacture costs through lesser development time-frames. Only 800 Roadpacer APs [which were marekted as chauffeur-driven executive vehicles] were ever produced, making it one of the rarest production rotary-powered Mazdas on the road.
