I seriously thought about buying a cheap pick up truck. Then I thought better of it. I really only need one once or twice a year, so it would probably be cheaper just to make a new friend. One with a pick up truck.
If I were to buy a pick up however, this would be one of the ones I would consider...

Mazda built about 15,000 REPUs between 1974 and 1977. The rotary engine made it a relatively powerful small truck, but it only got around 17 MPG, which turned off many potential buyers.
This REPU is in overall decent condition. Its original engine has been replaced by a later more powerful engine from an RX7. The seller has done some other work to it, but it still needs some interior work, minor brake work an a new wiper motor installed (which the seller is including).

Do a little body and interior work, throw a set of beefy tires and some old-school Crager style mag wheels on this truck and you'll have a great running, great looking, classic pick up. (And, if someone reading this buys it, can I borrow it a couple of weekends each year?)

A big thanks to Cory for sending me this link!
