That would be something to see in riding action. I reckon it doesn't "fly".

Well, thanks for that Django.

Wow! A real rotary engine (long before Wankel). You don't see too many of those running anymore.
Thanks for the clips, Django!

... and no Apex seals to be concerned about.

The 1974 Chevy Vega had a target Wankel engine option.
The 1975 AMC Pacer also had a target Wankel engine option too.
Innovative engine design for North American cars was really dismal throughout the 70's. Heck, maybe not limited to the 70's.

Yeah, Pacer and Vega did not deserve any further contribution into their development...and Pinto could join them as well

The Pinto and Vega are by many consider cultural classics today. Not sure about the Pacer, maybe with woodgrain side panel finishes.
The Vega can be configured particularly mean, somewhat like the CB1100.
