In North America, talking about early 1970s Mazda pickups will include an assumption on the part of most car nuts that you are talking about the Rotary-Engined Pickup, known as REPU among its fans. Due to their competition history, and being the only rotary-engined pickup ever built, they have a relatively high survival rate (for an old compact truck) and are prized by fans. But what many of those people may not know is that Mazda also sold a standard internal-combustion engined pickup, the B-series, which lasted until 2009 as a badge-engineered Ford Ranger. The second generation model was introduced in 1965, and this 1972 Mazda B1600 is available in Clackamas, OR, with the opening bid at $1200, no bites yet, and 5 1/2 days to go.
