Description
For sale: Mazda 626 GT 4WS, 1988 model year – rare version with four-wheel steering
Up for sale is a 1988 Mazda 626 GT 4WS, a nowadays extremely rare and technically particularly interesting variant of this model. The standout feature is the original 4WS four-wheel steering system, one of Mazda's most innovative systems of that era. Vehicles equipped with this feature are now seldom encountered.
The vehicle is complete and roadworthy, making it particularly suitable for enthusiasts of rare Japanese youngtimers or as a basis for a professional restoration.
The interior is in a tidy and well-maintained condition. The vehicle is equipped with an original air conditioning system. The dashboard, seats and interior trim are overall in good condition and provide an excellent foundation for refurbishment.
The bodywork requires age-appropriate work. Corrosion is present at the rear wheel arches, and there are rust spots on the sills. The paintwork shows clear coat damage and cosmetic imperfections in several places. These points have been factored into the price. The vehicle is expressly not being offered as a restored or immaculate example.
The Mazda 626 GT 4WS is today of particular interest primarily due to the combination of GT specification, 4WS system and factory-fitted air conditioning, making it an interesting and rare vehicle. A solid foundation for a restoration, a youngtimer collection, or for someone seeking an unusual Japanese classic.
