1987 Mazda 626 Coupé - walkaround and POV drive
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2021
- A walkaround and short drive with my Mazda 626 2.0i GLX. This generation of the 626, known as the GC, was produced between 1982 and 1987, receiving a moderate facelift in 1985. Even though the car sold very well in Europe there are not many examples on the road left, certainly not cherished ones. A fate it unfortunately shares with many other Japanese classics and youngtimers.
Like most Japanese cars from the 80s it´s not a particularly exciting car to drive. But the build quality and attention to detail are remarkable. It offers a wonderfully effortless and smooth driving experience that makes it hard to believe this car came on the market 40 years ago. The 626 GC is a great example of the Japanese pursuit of perfection that became so apparent in the 80s, and that helped them establish the reputation for building high-quality cars that they still enjoy today.

That car really takes me back. Can't believe it still looks so beautiful.
Yeah, it really was a great example with very low mileage. I sold it last year, not sure if I should have done that...
My father still has that car. It is a very reliable vehicle, Love it!
One of the best-looking "boxes" from the 1980s.
What a fantastic and elegant car... the design still looks great and timeless. Incredible to see how the rear seat space is beautifully integrated into the side paneling. Just wonderful... and I love those electric hinged windows!
Yeah, I just had to show those off in the video 😄
Own a 1887 Mazda 626 with only 66,000 miles on it. Love it to death. Great car
What a stunning example! 2 doors are so hard to find in this condition! Treasure it!
What is it worth in this condition in your country??
Thanks for your reaction! To be honest I traded it in some time ago... but I´m sure the next owner will take good care of it :-)
@@aisrael13 I bought it some years ago in Holland when it had about 70.000 (real) kilometers on the clock, and I believe I paid around 6000 euros for it. Nowadays it might be worth a bit more, since prices for Japanese classics have finally gone up a tiny bit. Personally I think they are still undervalued though...
One of my first cars, got me through my final years of high school. Bought it for 2500. Had 331k miles on it before it finally gave up. Thanks for the memories.
My cousin had a very similar one (2.0 liter 626 Coupe, similar age, but pale green color), brings back good memories. Thank you! 🙂
Wow, that’s a beautiful example you got there. I used to drive the same model up til the late 90’s (carburated version) There’s something special about these cars! Would love to find an example over here but haven’t seen any for sale in Ireland for many years
Yeah, they seem to have vanished from the face of the earth. Just like many other everyday Japanese cars of the era. It´s really a shame.
У меня такой в Украине могу вам фото скинуть и видео.Я откапиталил мотор и делал всё с душой для себя и всю ходовку отреставрировал! Хочу поварить покрасить и она у меня на крутых титанах старого стиля драговые.Очень люблю её крутой простой неубиваемый мотор вечный! И он даже понадёжнее покрепче тоёты будет!!))))
Продавать машинку не планирую буду строить её на впрыске с дроселями четырёх катушечные зажигание и хочю новую ГБЦ 8клапанную заказать.будет ракета.
@@kamradelysive3522What a wonderful project! Sounds brilliant. Can you upload a video on your channel? Thanks and greetings from Ireland! ☘️
Oh man! My father had a Mazda 626 GLX It reminds me my childhood
That car is amazingly clean and pretty. As it was in 1988....Nice...So simple.
Beautiful Coupe
This is the first time I see this beautiful car on RUclips
Yeah, Japanese classics and youngtimers are really undervalued, in my humble opinion.
beautiful condition
What a BEAUTY ❤❤❤
I own a Mazda 626 Sedan in Prestige Silver Metallic colour, 1990 model (2.2i Auto) ... bought brand new in Melbourne, Australia as a gift from my father for my 18th birthday. He paid $32,000 Australian dollars for it back then! It's now 32 years old, has done 500,000 kilometres (310,000 miles) and l continue to drive it daily. Has never failed me. Unbelievable car. I cannot part with it. My first and so far, only car ...!! It still looks like new and has always been outside for its entire 32 years, so far.
People cant believe it!
p.s. Has the oscillating vents as well!!! Still work amazingly!
For people seeking Mazda parts ... there is a specialist Mazda Wrecker called 'ALLMAZ' in a Melbourne suburb called 'Clayton Sth'. They have a website .... and are the ultimate specialists in all makes and models of Mazdas, particularly older model 70s, 80s and 90s Mazdas ... they stock over 5 million Mazda parts!!!! They are phenomenal and a treasure to have in Melbourne!
Amazing story! I hope you´ll enjoy it for many more years to come.
@@ericcrama2221 Thankyou! I JUST love, LOVE, LOVE it! Warm regards and big hello from Melbourne! 🇭🇲
crazy memories
very nice
We had that same generation mazda 626 in my country both the 2 door coupe and the 4 door sedan but the coupe came with digital instrument panel while the 4 door sedan had an analog instrument panel...
Then we had the ford telstar which is a twin to the mazda 626 carrying the same body parts but just a few cosmetic differences on the front and back, but the doors, suspension engine and transmission were the same design, but the 626 had a 1.6 cc engine while the telstar had a 2.0 cc engine but this particular car in the video its in mint condition looks like it just rolled out from the car factory its well kept 👍
Very nice car. here in Canada i had the turbo couple full digital dash with magnetic sport tune suspension. i didnt know what i had
I own an 89' 626. Currently has 55,000miles on it. Its the 2.2l(non-turbo) with a 5spd manual.
Perfekt exsaple!
I'm getting mine back on the road. Mine is a 91 JDM import.
She's got rust issues at the back end but otherwise looks quite tidy.
Потрясающий автомобиль!
Greetings from the Midwestern USA. Just bought almost this exact car for $850, but mine is the turbo engine. Just got it to run and it runs pretty good. Lots more work to do, mine was neglected and sat for I'd say the last 10 years or so. Your car is beautiful, I wish I could buy some parts from you lol
Haha, sorry, I´m planning to keep this car in one single part for now. I do have a spare blower motor though (long story), if you ever need it you know where to find me. Congrats on the car Jack, enjoy it!
@@ericcrama2221 Haha thanks man, sounds good. I'm trying to figure out how to get mine to idle and run better now. And then I need to replace the shifter bushings because they are completely shot. And then I need to fix the big water leak from the front door trim. And then replace the rear axle/spindles because someone hit a curb and bent them. Oh well, it's a cool car and I like fixing stuff. By the way, do you think a vacuum leak or bad vacuum lines could cause a poor idle?
@@JackAttak I haven´t the faintest idea... it sounds like you´re quite a lot handier than me. I´m more the kind of guy that buys a car in perfect condition and hopes it will stay that way ;-)
I had this exact best coup for 86
A very nice example
I have the same year, same color, same wheels, same interior, the only difference is mine is 5 door hatch and carburated. I looked for a coupe but couldn't find any and this hatch was almost like a barn find so it was in a very good condition so I had to buy it.
Hey, that´s nice to hear! Yeah, they are very rare nowadays, good to know that a hatchback ´brother´ of mine is being cherished as well. Enjoy it!
@@ericcrama2221 yes it's enjoying a second Life, I'm using it as daily. It's really weird it's so old yet no unusual noise or crackles.
Engine and transmission were rebuilt from ground up last year. If I'll make any video I'll post it here.
Have a great day.
@@eusdeenius Same here, the quality of these cars is impressive. Would be nice to see a video of yours, cheers!
i have one too ,its the sedán but here in Colombia there are few of these and in a a bad condicion
@@ses140 and where I live 99% of them are rusted totally or in disgusting condition. I'll make a video as soon as possible and post here.
So nice so much
damn love the car here in my country theres only mx6 i love it but i kinda like this tailight design more
Unbelievable,I had one in 90's a black GC limited edition coupe with sunroof and spoiler.Mine was a manual non turbo carby version.It was the best car,would love to find another here in OZ so if anyone has similar to sell please message me! Mine was first owned by Chris Dittmar here in Adelaide SA Australia,he's a well known sports commentator,ex world no.1 squash player, does the breakfast show here on triple m radio with the great Mark Recuitto! He must have purchased it from Mazda then traded it back cos we purchased it from there with very low kms.Those door cards that open are awesome, you wouldn't even know they do unless someone showed you! Awesome example that one you had,a LHD but wow brought back so many memories! 🍻 Cheers
Thanks for sharing those memories! ✌
@@ericcrama2221 👍no probs buddy,thankyou for the upload!!!
I wouldn't agree I think they were exciting to drive. The joke is that the 929 was much more expensive but far slower than the 626. Your model is lovely. It looks like it's red lined at 7,000 rpm! Would have liked some commentary.
Hi, thanks for your comments. I do consider sometimes to give some commentary, but I´m afraid I´m just not much of a talker. And to be totally honest, I make these videos more to show off my cars than to create high-quality content ;-)
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
شرايك فيها😍🔥🔥؟
У меня такая была только 4х дверка . Это шедевр а не техника👍👍👍
Looked like Portugal, but it's Spain..i recognized those signs.
Exactly 😃
some of the 1985s had the red light in the door panel, true?
This one has it too, you can see it at 0:52. Or that´s not what you mean?
Если честно эта Mazda лучше!!!!Чем Toyota Corolla.... Toyota курит. в моторе мазда 626.1986 годов f6 f8 Самые крутые движки которые вообще когда либо создавала компания mazda простые как топор вечные как кувалда!💪👍👍👍
Opel Kadett diesel please
These videos are of my own cars, so as soon as I buy a Kadett diesel I´ll be sure to make one. Might be a while though ;-)
Do these cars come with abs?
No, this generation of the Mazda 626 was never available with ABS. In the late 80´s ABS was still exclusive to high-end automobiles.
@@ericcrama2221 ah i see thank you anyways great content
Those engines last for ever and the valve lash adjustment is just like on hondas.
Do sprzedania ???
Sprzedany ;-)
日本人ですが 後部席ウィンドウが電動とは知りませんでした！
EU向けの車だけだったのかな？
よくわからない！正直、私も車を購入した時は驚きました。
Hi buddy. spare parts available??
Hi, you mean you are looking for them? I don´t have any, sorry. In general I think it´s pretty hard to get your hands on them...
@@ericcrama2221 Hey. Some one wanna sale 1986 model Mazda 626 2.0 and just wanna check if spare is available
@@tewodrosjegnaw8546 Well, personally I would only buy a 626 (or any old Japanese car) if it´s in good shape, because spare parts are rare. Not impossible to find, but if you buy a project car it may take quite some effort to find everything you need.
@@ericcrama2221 yeah, i am from Czech Republic and i have same 626 GC coupe from 85". Brake parts, pins and etc. is no problem, but body parts, axles, lights, interior parts .. unobtainable. Btw. Very nice GC :) I have same color.
@@polany8961 Your video of the Skoda on ice brought a smile to my face :-) Enjoy your cars!
J’ai encore la mienne acheté neuve en 1986 bleue métallisé ayant un peu plus de 200000 Kms et qui tourne comme une horloge ! 😃
Premier propriétaire... c'est merveilleux...👍👍
@@ericcrama2221
Oui , j’avais 23 ans quand je l’ai eu .
J’en ai 61 aujourd’hui et pour moi c’est Très sentimental . 😃
