I love this thread. Just bought an 84 SE myself. It's almost mint. Close enough anyway. Here's the only pic I have right now.

I fell in love with the colors. The brown interior is sweet.

 

Sure looks clean. Is that a factory color? Looks like a cream of some sort. Did you get a good deal? Nice to see some cars still selling, congrauts!

 

Thanks Banzai, Yes, it's Light Beige. The paint code is VG.
Haven't seen to many with this color. Don't know if it's rare though.

 

Hell the whole cars are becomming rare regardless of the color. Yours looks to be in great shape. Is it that clean inside and under the hood too?

 

Mine (The brown 83) with 82,400 miles ATM. the blue FC has 85,000 now, so it "kinda" belongs in this thread lol

yeaaaa bug eyes!

the week it sported LE wheels

Notice the floor mats are the old 70s mazda script that you find on rx4 13B housings & such =P


83 catalog. Sadly it didn't come with the car I picked it up a few years ago on ebay.

 

been sitting in my grandmas basement for 22 years

 

oh man that is so clean.

 

wow it's sat that long & has 73K? weird... WAIT DOUBLE TAKE, 7K!!!! beautiful car, got any story on it?? Haha would she sell it eventually?

 

Wow that's great. I'd be keeping on Gram's good side. But be advised, it may need some work. Mechanical things still deteriorate when not used. Seals and things need some exercising and lubrication every so often to prolong their life span. Other wise things dry up or get corroded and freeze up. The fuel system is another concern. Someone should be starting this every so often to keep it limbered up! You should volunteer you service and devotion.

 

Yea it's pretty clean inside the engine bay and interior. I'll have pictures up later on.

 

Landon303- there is really no story behind it. from what i have heard my grandma used to own a mazda dealership and this was one of the cars she had. the last time she drove it (well before we just recently got it running) was when i was born and that was in 1987.

Banzai- lol My grandma loves me . but we got the car running not to long ago. starts right up and we are about to take it on a 800mile trip to Atlanta and its going to stay at our new house.

 

Here are some shots of the '79 Limited with new stock E6 Beat Black paint . The body needed several welded sections to get rid of rust and previous owner put a cheap gloss black paint job over the origonal E6 colour . This work was done in 2007.

Don't be surprised if it runs better after your trip. Might be a good time to add some seafoam to help clean it out. Ask grandma if she still has all the paperwork, the window sticker and all!

 

Check out the reflection of the hood on the air box top.
That's what I'm talkin bout.

 

Excellent! A clean engine bay is sweet indeed.

 

Grams car needs detailing. I would be in heaven rubbin on that. That's the lowest mileage fb I've seen.

 

Ya know I think i'd have to agree on that. I think there was a 6K mile SA advertised not long ago though.

 

this is mine. 60K on the clock

 

I love 83s.

 

hell ya buddy!!!! i love this color too, its actually called beige by mazda BTW and the paint code is V2 if you didnt know and i have brown interior too..love it

heres mine

 

I still have the radio and the steering wheel. I just have this new Mountney GT wheels from the UK lying around. I do not like the spoiler though but that can easily be fixed. It is my daily driver and is a blast to drive.

Here's my old SA and old GSL-SE

 

Wow.

 

My bone stock 85 GS. Only non OEM part is the steering wheel.
