1983 Mazda 929 Hardtop - Rare!

Here is my 1983 Mazda 929 Hardtop. These were the top of the line Mazda models back in the 1980’s and were available as a sedan or two door like this one. It is fitted with a 2 litre engine and 5 speed manual transmission although in Japan you could also get a Turbo. It has very cool LED instruments and I love the pop up rectangular headlights. I bought the car in Qld years ago and drove it to Melbourne. You don’t see many these days. What do you reckon?

[@markbehr88]

You don’t see these anymore. Called the Cosmo in Japan this was released as the Mazda 929 here in Australia. It was available in a two door hardtop or a 4 door sedan. I always thought the styling was cool and remember them when they were new (gulp). What do you think? Cool or not? Please 👍 Like and Subscribe for more old car videos as it really helps the channel. Thanks again.

[@markbehr88]

very cool Mark I've been searching for the 1984 Mazda 626 coupe my neighbour had one for years was very cool I recently asked him about it and he was shocked I remembered it was well over 25 years ago he said it gave him nothing but exciting times and regrets selling it now

[@gav240z]

In Japan they came with a rotary engine.

@@gav240z That's very Cool

[@markbehr88]

Yes, I remember them when they were new. Not that powerful but really cool inside and out. I am sure if you look for one you could buy one but they are probably dearer these days?

[@markbehr88]

That’s right. I think mine has the Japanese market tail lights but I have the original ones that I’ll re-fit. I would like the up spec 4 door of the same year too. Thanks for the comments and please subscribe for more old car videos.

pop up headlights !!
Maybe do a more in depth video on this one 👍

[@markbehr88]

Thanks Lance. Will definitely do a full video and drive down the track. The Thumbnail shows the lights when they pop up. It is a cool little car.

[@timfordfalconxf7714]

WOW rare even when new :) love it

[@markbehr88]

Thanks Tim. Yes, they were pretty thin on the ground as they weren’t that cheap at the time. Pretty cool hey?

[@timfordfalconxf7714]

@@markbehr88 Sure is. Strange to use such a tiny engine ( nothing wrong with a 2.0 ) but a small engine on a Luxury car. more so manual.

[@gerarddaly3538]

Thanks mark remember seeing the 929 Mazda new at Hornsby Mazda

[@markbehr88]

Yes. I guess that was the Japanese interpretation of luxury back then.

[@markbehr88]

Thanks Gerard. I can clearly remember that and still have the brochures too.

Yellow exterior, with brown dash and gray seats... Why not! ;)

[@markbehr88]

Yes, along with shoulder pads and big hair and Atari it is very 1980’s and that’s what makes it kind of cool imo. Thanks Ivano!

[@icascone]

@@markbehr88 It does! :)
Only channel that replies to all my comments and glad for it hehe

[@markbehr88]

Appreciate it Ivano and all my subscribers. Thank you.

[@themediamix1451]

Love this car. Enough said . I would drive it as a daily.

[@markbehr88]

Agree. I have liked these since they were new. I also like the four door pillarless sedan which had a small vertical bar chrome grille and long rectangular headlights.

Where can I get one in America I want one so bad

[@markbehr88]

I don’t think they were ever sold there were there? I wonder why? I think it would have sold quite well but maybe it couldn’t pass the crash tests? Although the RX7 did? Not sure?

[@A_Terrible_Person]

@@markbehr88 I want one so bad it's my dream car but not even jdm import sites have em listed in America these cars apparently are impossible to get
