found a 121 funtop 1989.
striped sports interior. front end in good cond. in fact, entire car is in good cond.
no registration means i still need to tow it.... its 8 hours away.

He wants AU$1000 for it. Im willing to pay maybe $500

will be talking to seller to see if can get him to meet me halfway with delivery.

opinions???

soooooooo tempting

Australian prices are very high compared to other countries. Graciously tell him a sad story before starting the negotiations at $500. Pretend to walk away at $650.

A funtop with a sport interior!
Tell us how hot it is in your summertime right now. We just had another snowfall.

I am sure there are many members here who would give thir eye teeth for an opportunity to buy a factory funtop. Do not pass this up or someone from this forum might have it loaded in a container destined for New York City.

Lol!
I'll begin negotiations today.
My wife might try to castrate me, but maybe it's worth it.

Fun tops here are the 121's ugly brother that had all the toys.

Yesterday we had a 36 deg c day. That's like 100 plus deg f right?

I removed the exhaust off the 121 to plug up some holes so it can pass the registration inspection.

I managed to get sun burn on my feet and the back of my neck.

Luckily I've lost over 30 pounds over the last few months. Otherwise I would also have burnt the top of my butt (we call it plumbers cleavage).

I'll keep y'all posted on the fun top.

FYI... 4 weeks ago when I was still looking for a car to buy. All I could find were fun tops. That's how common they are here.

Fun too the ugly brother? I would love a fun top. They look better if you asked me. And those sport seats are awesome!

The North American sport interior is similar to your Mazda 121 sport interior.
Both use the same diagonally striped fabric. North America never got headrests on the rear seats, nor fabric on the wheelwell covers. Both the solid and holey adjustable headrests came on blue horizontal striped fabric seats.

Cowabunga, Brave! :cheers: Those 'North American Sport' seats are freaking flawless! Where'd you snap a pix of those at????

It's a matter of personal taste. But the fun tops were less popular here. Hence why they're readily available with low ks, where most of the 121s have a million miles and have been scrapped already.

That's the first set of sport seats that I sold at Ohiostiva. I have another incomplete set that I wish to sell. It is missing the driver seat cover. I will be searching again in about a month.

Were those seats yours? I mean, how in the world did you keep (or get) those so incredibly clean??? Plus, there's not a single rip anywhere.

Sweeeeet!

These are the sport covers and cards I will be selling when I can find the drivers seat cover. I remove the covers from junk yard cars with a pair of Knipex cutters and wash them in my washing machine. I reinstall them with new hog rings.
The proper way to checkout seat covers at the yard, is rolled up inside out. They usually let me have them for free, since there is no metal.

Those look to be miniature bolt cutters.

[bravekozak]

You are correct sc72. I bought mine used on the bay.
It's easy to quickly and effortlessly remove hog rings from seat covers.

I would like a Ford logo instead of a Momo logo on my horn button, but definitely not this one!
