1977 Mazda 929 Coupe

[Mike D]

Yesterday, me and one of my friends went on a 14 hour trip to rescue this, it was offered for sale by a banger racer as being too good to race, so thought i\'d best take it upon myself to save it










It needs the rear arches sorting, and a few little bits, and the interior sorting, but overall its good n solid

Very similar to the Mitsubishi colt/Galant GTO of the same era..

Thats really cool, and unusual. Presumably not rotary engined?? Well done for saving her.

Your a bloody legend!!!! those chrome strips on the bonnet are worth a fortune in oz. Such a good save.

I wanted an RX-4 / 929 based on this photo alone!

Putting the whole \'being biased towards Mazda\' thing aside, I think that shape is absolutely gorgeous and a truly classic design. It has the lines of an American Muscle car but without the weight/train-like handling/sportshall size interior. It is in your face but in a subtle kind of way. Love the pointy bonnet too. Can just imagine one brapping away on a big carb. I want one badly.......... :mmmm

I will watch this project with interest. Please keep us updated and PLEEEEEASE paint it BLACK and put a bridgy in it with a Weber 48.....

:cheers

Not really got into the whole Oldskool thing, but seeing that you can make a car like that look as good as the second one...then I\'m in ha ha
Its likeOverhaulin\'. The Before and After.If only you could do it in 7 days

Wow !!!!!!

Great save Mike!

What are your plans for it? Not the 929 (pickup) engine I hope
It looks pretty reasonable externally, what\'s the chassis like?

See you soon.
