Favourite 1970's Jap Car

[gurumaster22]

Niiiiiiice! She's (was) a minter.

Yeah she was...

Bought her from the original owners. Even had all the factory options. Including the custom factory inserts in the seats.

Really miss her actually.

Agreed they did something weird to the back of them that just never looked right.

120Y sedan for the win i might be a bit biased though lol.

Yeh the rear of the coupe is uglyyyy...but i like it haha

This thread is disgusting, not one picture of a 1600 yet.

I also like the old luxuary cars and cal or rat look makes them even cooler.

lol at the cressie, had one as my 2nd car ugly, sluggisy thirsty and extremely comfy

this car, does anyone have any more pics/details on it? It's givin me a semi that I wish to nurture into a full blown rock hard greasy boner.

I reckon I can say with pretty much absolute certainty...thats a model mate.

But yeah, my fantasy 70s car would be a C130 Laurel for sure.

Or a S130 280ZX with a yank market L28ET.

When did they stop doing RS5x Crown utes? A more realistic one I think

I'd also settle for a good straight T18 when it comes to cars of that era you can get locally.

That is a brilliant looking car and you can have one for 3k no doubt in rubbish condition but still it seems like a bargain. It would make a great crusing/project car.

I'd probably remove the front splitter, but I love the rest of it.

They do indeed make great project cars. Really gotta watch eBay carefully for the original parts but they do pop up all the time.

Would have rather found one in jap style, but this is all I could find. Maybe a different name in Jap?

Made late 60's, early 70's, mazda's first major rotary powered vehicle. ("10a"), only about 1500 ever made. I was lucky enough to see one a few months back though

(image from wikipedia)

Supposedly, they were marketed as a supercar, with a rather silly advertising campain, however i haven't been able to find out anything more about that.

[GT-R32]

Sweet car. Alloy 10A. It did quite well in motorsport. I saw the one owned by Mazda Australia at a local workshop.

another oldschool skyline tough..

No doubt about that one. One of my favourites!

[PL4T]

datsun 240z for sure man.. getting one as soon as i get the money

[r32_psi]

I would have to say datsun 240z, I love the shape of them & there are quite a few good examples getting imported from japan atm.
