Replying to: fintail (Dec 29, 2008 5:35 pm) I had an 81 Mazda GLC. It was totally trouble free and fun to drive. It went almost 150K before the floor board began rusting away. My only complaint was that it had thin materials. There were actually finger impressions on the hatch from closing it and the cheap plastics rattled a lot. It also had tinworm, but so did Honda during that period. I'm not too sure about current Mazda's though because they have a lot of Ford parts in them. I don't think they'll hold up as well as a Toyota or Honda will. |

Sorry, but what's tinworm?

Replying to: lemmer (Dec 30, 2008 6:22 am) He drove that car for years, then sold it to a coworker, who later sold it to one of his kids. Not bad considering the first month my buddy owned it, the engine blew up with <1k miles on it. Mazda had put the wrong dipstick in the engine, and even though it registered full, it was down three quarts of oil (out of four) and the idiot light didn't work. John almost got rid of it then and there, but in the long haul it turned out to be a "Great Little Car". |

would an AM/FM car radio have been back in 1967? My mechanic is finally just about finished with my '67 Catalina convertible. One of the finishing touches was going to be putting a stock AM/FM radio in it. It's AM-only now, and the antenna got snapped off years ago. Whenever I wanted tunes in the car I'd always just do it old-school style. Throw a boom-box in the back seat! Well, the mechanic put another antenna in. He looked all over for an AM/FM radio that would fit in my car and still look stock, but with no luck. Does anybody know any good sources online for something like that? I'm really excited about getting the car back, although it's going to be a bummer waiting until the spring time to start driving it around.
