Mazda: 1986 626 GT turbo, 5 Speed, TWO DOOR, electronic front susp.

Found this little gem the other day for a price I couldn't say no to. (I'll get pics up tomorrow)

The engine is locked up, but it came from a one owner garage, who bought the car new in 1986.

Mostly garage kept. White exterior, maroon interior. 90% awesomeness inside. A few cracks from years of sun.

The paint can be saved.

I would say it has less than 1% rust on the entire car. The small few spots on the body that I can see, could be rubbed off with some scotch bright or some steel wool & paint.

Any one know how rare this thing is, being a turbo TWO DOOR 626?

I found another turbo engine for this car, but its from an 88 / 89 turbo mx6. I *think* it should be compatible....

The best I have right now, more to come.

I guess, if any one on the boards here is a Mazda nut, and wants to trade me for a supra, I'll gladly accept.

Also, just picked up an 89 2.2 turbo engine & trans for this today. Stroker time!

nice, havent seen one before, though it kinda resembles an older mustang/escort...

I never knew they made that car in a turbo model either

I think they share engines with the Probe GT Turbos, and junkyards are littered with those...

Indeed. Interesting little car too. Only weights around 2600 lbs. I can push it all by myself, unlike the fat pig of a mk3.

I knew they made a four door, but never a two door 626. I later found out in 1989 (?) the two doors became the mx-6 turbo.

You would think right? Haven't been able to find crap around here.... but yes you are right. They did share the engines with turbo probes.

Nice old GT! It's a GC coupe. I don't know about the US, but around here they are fairly rare. The engine is a FE/T 2.0 8v turbo, and not the same as the F2T found in the MX-6 and the Probe. The F2T should be a straight fit though.
