Saw almost three dozen at Laguna Seca (USA Monterey Historics) in 2004 where they did a parade lap. A most exciting car whose motive power could be traced down to the later Supras, but with 50 percent more displacement. I remember when the 1971 USA emission laws defeated the twincam engine and the cost of making this car eliminated it from the market place. No technical reason it could not be revived as a costly exotic using Supra parts, so I was amazed to find that a Japanese fellow is doing one using -- perish the thought -- NISSAN running gear! Yes, I would rather see one of these in my driveway than a superexotic Lexus V10 as is currently trickling out of Japan rather like the 2000GT did,
I am a Petrol Head, I do like cars, since ever. I like technology too and I love racing. So this is what you can read about in this blog - thoughts and ideas around how to make cars better, how to use cars, where to find cars, etc. No big agenda. Just fun!

A good many of the Australian ones seem to have made their way back to Japan.
