Yes, did you obtain it from the original owner? A couple interesting observations, the car is devoid of the Limited Silver / Burgundy pin striping? It also looks to have an FB shift boot and it lacks A/C? All US 79 Limited's had air. Not sure if Canadian cars might have circumvented the A/C add on at the port. I see it had the period correct sheep skin set covers too! Looks like they left a few "fuzzies" but protected the original seat covers pretty good. If accurate, this is the lowest mileage 79 Limited I know of by far!

A VERY beautiful car indeed!! Keen eyes have pointed out the non Mazda shift boot and the lack of A.C. and pinstriping. I'd also love to hear the story behind this car!! That's a car I'd store in a garage under a cover when not in use. So very rare indeed!!

Just (2) 79 LE's the stable Stu, but like others round here, I do have a keen interest in the history and details of SA's. The details of the special model SA's is what sets them apart from the GS and S models and makes them maybe just a little more unique. Too bad I can't be an defacto Guru on something that would actually make money...

This car is gorgeous, please keep it as-is and don't swap it or anything of the sort! This will be a collector item in a few more years, even more so than it already is.

Likely either sold the car or lost interest in the forum. Which is a shame either way you look at it.
