Pristine 84 GSL-SE, Tender Blue

Just thought that I would show some pics of my new cruiser. Full options, Tender Blue in color & 100% stock.

Enjoy.

Let's just say that I got the car for a steal. Almost feel guilty about it.

That is what I thought about the interior as well.

Pictures really do not do the paint justice.

The REW is getting some more add-ons. A full re-build has been done along with a whole slew of other things. Just looking for a tuner I trust.

Actually, a lot of SE's out there weren't ordered with leather because the dealers were telling buyers that the standard seating was designed by Mazda to be non-slip for better holding of the driver.

I know this because my dad was the original buyer of my SE, and I was there the day he drove it home.

That leather looks to be in great shape, too - keep it covered and use your summer window shields, and it'll help to keep it that way.

Nice car,

Yup, she will get top notch care. No different than any other car that I own.

Here are a couple more pics. Last picture shows the quality of paint. Can't decide if they are good or not. You decide.

Yeah, in pictures the car sometimes looks bland. But when you see it in person it is an incredible color.

I will see if I can snap some this weekend.

The FD engine is in the other GSL-SE. Just have not updated my signature.

The tender blue one is 100% stock. It will stay that way.
