Factory upgrades include a horsepower increase (110hp to 128hp), power brakes, a 5 speed manual option over a 4 speed, a wider wheel base for better room and handling, and larger wheel size from 14" to 15". These upgrades helped launch the cars fame and success in a painstaking 84 hour endurance race at the Nurburgring Ring in Germany. This specific Cosmo was restored in Japan in the mid 2000's. The car is in very original condition other than the Nardi steering wheel. This car was sourced by us at JDM Legends and upon arrival at our shop was gone over with a fine tooth comb to our satisfaction. This car is undeniably rare as it is in good running condition with the original 10A rotary engine. So rare that even Jay Leno's Cosmo doesn't have the 10A. This is a key factor as a testament to its originality and its value. These cars are rising in value every single day that goes by.
