Under $2k.
I used to see them occasionally but not anymore.
I would really like to find an Opel Kadett or Manta but don't see those either.

Do a rat rod truck, uncorked 13b. botched s10 chassis parts, exposed engine. lots of cab rust circa 1930s
Then rallycross?

Landcruiser? I think that may be a bit heavy. 
FWIW, I just spied an Opel GT here in Muncie that the storms blew a tarp off of.....

No...the other one...
...doofus.
In reply to JFX001:
Yea that would be cool...it would probably take a bit to get the rotary mated up to the stock trans.
Ah...problem solved...there is no stock trans!!!!
It's yours if you want it...gratis.
Don't tell me that...
Just did. Go forth and search for viable adaptors and let me know. No biggie either way, as it's not going anywhere until you give the word.
Honda Goldwing
For maximum comedy value, I'd say a Mustang or Camaro. A Fox body Mustang could be light enough to have some decent performance with this - and a Mustang II could seriously haul.
Or - the AMC Pacer was reportedly designed for a GM rotary that never materialized. It would be a good what-if...
The fox-body mustang would be easy. There is an adapter for a rotary to T5.
Or the Chevy Monza. Also a "designed for rotary" vehicle.
The real question is: What shouldn't have a rotary engine?

It requires a bellhousing from an RX-3/4/5, though.
And then you're stuck with a trans that doesn't shift.

A mid '70s Holden Premier. Or a 26 passenger bus. That didn't stop Mazda from trying both.
In reply to ArthurDent:
yes!
Same basic idea, maybe less slammed non vert but thats just how I would do it.
