Unique Race Car For Sale On Yahoo Auctions

[*LOACH*]

Any owner in Japan would be proud to have a fine example of advanced automotive technology such as this. You will probably need a degree in computers to get the most out of the electronics though.

Classic... hows the list of factory options... NONE !!

Funny thing is theres a couple of these floating around. I know one was brought in by a kiwi and if I remember right there was a monaro as well. think it was lime green.

That ute restored or kept in its rustic condition completely air bagged and with full hydraulics would put shame to those numbnuts that get around various cities in Japan in their low rider yank tanks.

Ugh imagine finding parts for a 253 V8 in Japan??!!

If I owned it I would probably pull the 253 and stick a kei car 660cc turbo donk in the battery tray of the ute. Be just as powerful as a 253 and you can rent the rest of the engine bay out as a 1k apartment in Tokyo.

Actually it is a bit sad to see the state of some of the old cars left in parking spots in Japan. Saw a 70s Corvette in Nagoya a couple of weeks ago on four flat tyres with completely faded paint. There is a 50s Chev about 10mins walk away from my place in Gifu in a similar but even worse condition. I hope those ones Elrodeo was talking about have been kept better than that.
