That looks like an RA28 body. If so, weren't they 1976-1978 vintage?
Or was the RA25 an earlier (Japan only) model?

Not many left around either. I remember in the early 90's they were all the rage with modifying .... but hardly any left now.

There were some tuff R100's out there though ... I think the reason why there's not many left was due to many putting in decent 12A and 13B's into them ... and then wrapping them around trees/power poles.

I do remember seeing a canary yellow one back when i was on my P's ... in Campbelltown of all places. Was in front of me ... loud as anything. They guy driving it just stomped on it ... and he has trouble keeping it within 2 lanes (all without lifting off). They were so light ... god it went like a cut snake though.

I love my 1980 LC Lancer that I have owned since new but I guess I would swap it for a mint 260Z coupe (not the much more common 2+2).

Any early Z car is a fav of myself. I'd also love a KE30 rolla, an early skyline (any of the old shapes)

What is it with the mirrors right down the front quarter panels? Talk about eye strain!

Nice KE20 there Auturbo6. I miss my KE20. Was my first car, paid $750 cash for it back when I was 15. I've tried finding one today for the same price without the same luck :( If I ever find out who flogged it and crashed it...

Datsun 260z. This particular specimen is a 1974 model, so it works fine on regular gasoline.

The R31 coupes are actually not that hard to come by, and seem to be around the $6-10k mark which is pretty good buying. A turbo one would make a good track car.
