Did the 1984 or 1985 GSL SE have a Limited Edition if so was it a cosmetic difference or what.

 

I don't believe the GSL-SE had a limited edition, but the '84-'85 GSL did. I own one. The differences from other GSLs were the power steering and the "limited edition" badge on the roof B-pillars.

The power steering was also an option on the SE, but I don't believe it was designated as a limited edition.

Other options on all GSLs and GSL-SEs included leather and air.

In Canada, all GXs from '81-'83 (GX = same as GSLs in the states) and all GSLs and GSL-SEs had headlight sprayers.

 

the gsl-se did have a limited addition. i saw one not too long ago

 

just tried 2 post a pic but it doesn't work as per usual there days.

 

Yea I tryed to post photos also what the hell is up with it. Did you try doing it as an attachment.
What was the difference in the Limited Edition GSL-SE and the regular GSL-SE.

 

Please post a pic, I have never heard of a GSL-SE-LE!!

 

No ****. Being that I used to be a Mazda dealer, I'll believe it when I see it...

I'm 100% sure there's no such thing in the US-if there was I would own it already.

 

Was it actually an GSL-SE or could it have been a GSL with an SE suspension swap?

Not saying it's impossible that the SE had an LE model, but I've yet to see one. Even LE GSLs were rare--- A guy in Vancouver who has been working on 7s for eons claims he's only seen a very few 1st gens with power steering.

 

Some time last year somebody posted a link to a site that had a copy of a 1984 issue of Car&Driver. There was a GSL-SE on the cover with a blonde aerobics lady and dumbells.

The accompanying text mentioned the power steering on that particular test car and how it was designed to diminish effectiveness as speed increased, but I can't recall if that model was referred to as an LE.

Does anybody have this link?

 

yup same here.

power steering was an option on the gsl and gsl-se in 84-85.

 

There aren't any GSL-SE "LE"s here in the US. All US "Limited Edition" models were simply styling packages, and none of them came with a limited-slip diff like the GSL models. The '83 LE came with the 14" "snowflake" wheels, while the '79 LE had 13" wheels which were similar to the normal "waffle wheels" found on the SA models.

 

from the parts microfische...



Not that I've ever seen a GS-SE, but there you go. from the 84-85 parts diagrams.

 

Could there have been a Anniversary Edition for the 1984 or 1985 GSL-SE if there was no Special Edition. Or maby the Special Edition could have been in the UK, Austraila, Japan or even Canada. But as far as I know the only thing Special on the Canadian GSL-SE was the additional Headlight Sprayers.

 

the badge says "SE Limited"

 

I'll try and put it in my avatar coz it's still no werkey. POS!!!

 

there we go, the pic is now in my avatar, any comments??????

 

is that it?

 

is that it?

 

Hmm. Cool, but I've never seen it b4. It doesn't even look like factory lettering for any Mazda sold over here.

 

lol, outside of the us they have different model names.

i've seen gt badges too

 

gt......never heard of that. lol.


probably the case of my country's randomnes

Edit: Even though we didn't get the SE here. i don't think we got any series 3 which sux to hell!!!, correct me if i'm wrong.
