Model overview

Model description

In the mid-1960s, Mazda was eager to capitalize on the considerable research and effort they invested into making the Wankel rotary a viable engine for a production car. The result was the Mazda Cosmo 110, which was born in 1965. This futuristic looking steel-bodied coupe boasted a front-mounted two-rotor Wankel type rotary engine of 982 with a four-barrel carburetor that revved to a fantastic 9,500 rpm and created 110 horsepower (thus the name). Power was pushed through a four-speed gearbox and a 2,200-pound curb weight ensured entertaining performance enhanced by independent suspension with disc brakes up front and a De Dion axle with drums in the rear.

Very limited production saw 343 examples built from May 1967 to July 1968 at which point the series II model appeared. Improvements included a new five-speed gearbox, 15-inch wheels, a 6-inch wheelbase stretch that improved ride comfort. Power was also bump up to 128, which allowed for a 120+ mph top speed. Total production for series II cars through 1972 was 1,176 examples.

It has taken a long time for these groundbreaking cars to have their day in the sun in the eyes of collectors, but with only 1,519 built, single-digit rarity in the U.S. and boundary-redefining engine technology, it was only a matter of time.

Common Questions

The value of a 1971 Mazda Cosmo can vary greatly depending on its condition, mileage, options, and history. Typically, you can expect to pay around $89,200 for a 1971 Mazda Cosmo in good condition with average spec.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
