Zoroastrian God – 1981 Mazda 626 Coupe

June 7, 2014

According to everyone’s favorite online encyclopedia, this automaker’s name is derived from Ahura Mazda, the name of God for those of the Persian Zoroastrian faith, as well as the last name of the founder, Jujiro Matsuda. And while you might not have any heavenly experiences behind the wheel (or anywhere else) in this little blue coupe, there’s not much to complain about at the price. For better or worse, the seller’s son used the car to get to high school, and as such, the car should suffer none of the problems of long-term storage, but you’ll want to look closely for signs of hard cornering, braking, and shifting – teenage sons are not known to be gentle on their first cars. You can find this 1981 Mazda 626 coupe for sale for C$1250 ($1144 today) in Lynn Valley, BC.
