NY waited 42 years for this....

Finally acquired a first year ('79) model - after seeing one as a young teen. Perhaps what is most interesting is that I bought it from an 87 year old Mazda collector and I believe that I am the second owner (or third, if you count his friend that owned it at some point). It's also interesting that I owned zero vehicles for the past 20 years, now that I live in NYC. I haven't worked on a car since 1997 when I had a 1947 Crosley Coupe! 21hp. Wish me luck.... and thanks for having me. I'll try not to ask any questions already answered....!

Welcome!! Would love to see pictures of the car!!! It has a great history and it inspires me to know you've held onto your dream of owning one of these cars for so long!
