Whoah! It looks like an itty bitty F body!!

Im not an import guy but that white car is super sano and a sweet driver. I would def rock a car like that.

Nice, but he wants $18,000 for it??

lol.......finish the body & interior first.

i hate to piss in your wheaties but thats a celica not a corolla. Clean as shit tho. Is that a 3sgte?

Gee, that Corolla looks a lot like Celica.

:skep:

Rather have this

Ten minutes late :skep:

a fine example of one of the most beautiful cars of all time. id love to see and hopefully hear one in person before i die. that thing is part of why i bought my 240z

Very nice...........Looks great in that color, but that's British Racing Green. Be unique, and quit swinging on Jaguar's nutsack.

I doubt it....... most Asians just don't have it in their blood.

how so? The 70's produced some beautiful little cars in japan. Just look at the old skylines or early rx mazdas. Hell even mitsu's old gto was badass. Most of the 2kgts were white btw. The shelby tuned ones were two tone

I like old Skylines too, but they weren't what I'd call beautiful.......just purposeful.

Seriously, the 2000GT is the only Japanese car I'd describe as beautiful. The FD RX7 being close, but not really.

not even the original nsx?

good looking, of course......but beautiful, I dunno, for me it would need more curves to be called beautiful.

interesting. I suppose it really depends on what cars made the biggest impact on you in your youth. For me it was primarily the countach, F308, and dee dee mccall's daytona turbo z. All of those feature hard edges and a wedge shape. Might be why im not huge on lots of curves.

Who would pay 18 grand for that thing? Shit is ugly IMO. Just because it is old, people are all over it.

I'll take a 69 Chevelle with a 396BB anyday over that heap.

:lol: "Works for me"

But you're big on the 2000GT and that's not straight-edged :idk:

I prefer the 'Velle with a built mouse motor. Tachs higher, handles better.

i have exceptions, of course.

make it a 302 and you have a deal

cause its a clean old school jap sports sedan thats >2500 lbs with probably 250 wheel? would pants your american boat in just about every category except flat out accel and it might get it there too.

LOL!! All Chevelles "handle" like shit. Unless you do a full build on one with modern suspension components. But if you like them for the "hotrod" feel who cares what it handles like in anything but a straight line. They never came with a 302, not that you couldn't put one in. But that is alot of car for a 302. A good friend of mine used to have a '70 SS that I built small blocks for use as a street car and weekend bracket racer. Then one year he ordered up a 540 for it. Not THAT was the ticket.

Cuz a lot of people will probably be nostalgic for it. I think it needs a completely custom body and interior for that price though.

my neighbour had one of those when I was a kid, and I thought it was hot back then. this thing made me jizz in my pants.

You mean less than 2500lbs...Car<2500 lbs.

Don't worry, many on this board mess up the <> sign. lol

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to the older Jap cars, but there is something about the 240Z that just does it for me. I know a couple people in this area with built 240Z's and they are just cool, and get tons of looks.

Darius 240Z, used to have stunt vids and this 240. Think its a sharp example of a built 240

whatevs lol

want one? i have an impossibly clean, 99% original, zero rust. 73'. white with burgundy interior. only want about 8k for it.

Still looks like a dumpy old econobox to me :idk: It may be fast and handle well, but so would a used Mazdaspeed 3, and that would have air conditioning.

Wow, that looks far more Italian than Japanese. Has the slingshot look of an old Ferrari Daytona. :dthumb:

But then you'd look like just another metrosexual :lol:

Here's a nice old Z for sale:

Shit, this one even has the small block already fitted:

yuck. if anything should be swapped in its an RB

The two Celicas, I like. :dthumb:
I don't feel tied down by comparisons to American muscle cars because they are examples of a whole other genre and outstanding ones at that.

As for the Z-cars... I wouldn't mind one with a grafted in motor.
I'm a heretic that way. I feel the same about older Jags too.
Love the styling, not crazy about the maintenance.
