1979 Mazda 323

[@denalinde]

My favorite car ever. I had a bright blue one with black, white & blue plaid seats. I miss it! 🚙

[@haganlineentertainment7559]

When I was 14 I bought this car for 💯 bucks. My first car, that was 25 years ago. Greatest feeling ever when I finally got it fired up after sitting for years. Thank you Mazda for the memories

[@mk-monaco7367]

Wow 😊 amazing 😍

[@yewbtang1848]

My parents bought a used one for me during the mid '80s when i was a student in Australia. It was a great little car and served me well. I really missed it!

[@claudexcom1]

Mi papá tuvo ese mismo en versión automática, lo tenía muy bien cuidado y mucha gente lo miraba por ser un modelo tan antiguo y bien cuidado.

[@zakariasobhzayed1902]

One of the best cars I have ever driven. I learned how to drive on it. My father had one of them in 1979. It was still zero and was sold in the nineties. It is one of the unforgettable cars.

Me to. My dad owned 1 same red colour. From Malaysia

[@leonardocaceres2540]

Beautiful car and colour too. I'm the owner of a Ford Laser 1982 with 125000 km on tne clock. The same car as the Mazda 323 but with Ford logo... This Laser is realiable as a modern car and the first Owner was my grandmother. Greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 and sorry about my english..

Thanks for sharing

[@simferpol]

That is one beautiful car! Understated and classy in the way that BMW used to be. Looks like it probably had high build quality too.

[@stassi7]

I bought one in 1979 GLC and I had it for 10 years. Never had any mechanical problems and only standard maintenance and of course tires, batteries and brake replacements when needed. Have been buying Mazda cars ever since.

[@mk-monaco7367]

You can call me old fashioned but I would love one of these cars , they don't make em like this no more

[@HishamAhly]

Those were days when cars were built by engineers not like nowadays by accountants. ❤❤❤

[@club1fan552]

One of the most beautiful Mazdas ever. Would have loved to have heard that sweet 1272cc engine and seen more of the interior.

[@club1fan552]

@@danozism Whaaaaat? 3 times? Amazing! That '78 1415 cc model was the pick of the 323 litter. Same beautiful '77 design but a much better performer. Wagon came as 3 and 5 door variants. Standing 400m in 19.5 secs. Same as the Gemini and not bad for a 1.4 L post ADR 27A car. Love them. Thanks for the info!

[@danozism]

@@club1fan552 We had the 5 door wagon. 400m/19.5s is pretty swift actually! Our one was often heavily loaded and never felt underpowered. I agree with you about the design. Great looking car. Cheers

[@frankthetank9346]

Tolles Fahrzeug! Glückwunsch. Bin kein Mazda-Spezialist, sieht aber schon sehr original aus. Vor Menschen, die auch andere als die typischen Mainstream-Klassiker erhaltenswert finden, ziehe ich den Hut.

[@zebedep]

What a superb example. I can't remember when I last saw one in the UK!

[@danozism]

Agreed- it looks great. I can't tell if it's been super-well looked after, or if it's been meticulously restored!

[@whatisanamelol]

Outstanding cars. Love the green, similar to the Mach green on my S1 RX7

[@Daza239]

The frog great memories

[@user-hr2sw7yn6v]

That was my first car when I was twenty years old.I used it as a SUV..

[@mk-monaco7367]

That's cool , I'm around 20 years old and would love a car like this I think you should have kept it or get another . I seen this car recently and some reason i just think about it , the specs the design there is something about this car and I don't know what it is . It's classic , Japanese and not like any car I've seen before . This and Morris Minor that old mafia type cars I'd be glad ☺️ if I'm lucky to own someday.

[@user-hr2sw7yn6v]

@@mk-monaco7367 I have too many year to see a Mazda 323 like that in Greece.I have only some photos from my car and the manual.

في صنعاا هذا مازدا ونظيفه وقديمه موديل

[@Nickoboss29]

You can see that the 3's D pillar is inspired by the 1970s generation's D pillar.

[@user-sq4me5vc1q]

Nice one how much i like it

[@TwentyNinerR]

This was sold in Indonesia in the 90s, as the MR90 (Mobil Rakyat '90, lit. "People's Car of 1990"), later Baby Boomers. Compared to this 323, the MR90/Baby Boomers only featured a mild facelift. The wagon version of this was sold as Vantrend, designed to compete with Indonesian-designed Toyota Kijang, itself an MPV. Later iterations of the Vantrend had electric power steering.

[@underdog209]

My dad used to own one of these.

[@grucu]

My childhood car. To this day, I remember when my dad bought a low-profile Pirelli P3000 tyre, which was not so normal in Poland under communism.

[@robroyce6845]

...with a Ford Ecoboost 3.5 litre v6 engine & Ford OD tranny transplant (gasp!),that Mazda GLC would rule the roadways!

[@andyrybka]

HI DRIVE GLC FOR 32 YEARS NEARLY 550000 KM

[@hibretlemma4097]

I have one in my possession at the moment which is grey color. I want to change the color to green and add some features so it looks closer to its original status.

[@JimmyDeringer]

I had a 1987 Mazda 323 sedan when I was a kid. It broke down and got scrapped. I’m looking to restore one now. If anyone wants to sell theirs I’m looking to buy. I prefer white.

[@Blakecryderman7244]

This thing is dope! Man are there ANY of these left in North America?

[@alexnitro3936]

Yo tengo uno y todavía se desplaza con mucha fiabilidad estos autos fueron diseñados para aguantar

[@600322]

I wonder why Mazda when they changed from back wheel drive to front wheel drive in 1981 choosed not to upgrade the version number .It was still 323.626 remained back wheel driven for a longer time.

[@robroyce6845]

RWD...ja ja!!

[@xNobly]

Somebody knows where i can buy parts for mine?

[@knowbodiesfull5768]

In the United States, it was known as the GLC. (2/10/2021)

[@bibbylil5153]

Nice I have 323 BD '82

[@Chu3505]

[@myborneosabah5091]
