man you guys did not know about teh 2000gt? that is a car that I would give my celi for thats right you heard me
 j/k. but really that car is a beast it has an inline 6 2.0 liter all wheel disc brakes and the body lines of a FD(RX-7) 3gen. That car is truly a beast but they are very and I mean very rare. as far as I know on one or two people have them here in the states and one of them is the person who help make that car, Carol ShelbyFernando |

I cant belive most people havent heard of this car... for people who dont know, the car originaly started life out as a NISSAN project with yamaha... Nissan ditched the idea early on, so yamaha turned to toyota with the idea, and they liked it, and picked up where nissan left off. The engine was co-developed with yamaha, and the styling has been only rumored to have been designed by Albrecht Goertz (designer of, most famosly, the BMW 507). He himself has denied involvement, and Toyota refuses to tell who did... The car is considered by many classic auto historians to be the only true classic japanese sportscar ever produced, with a production total of only 337 units in its entire life span. Also, the car used in "you only live twice" was a one off convertible (they made 2 for the movie)...
-------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driver Car #1: 01 Focus ZX3- purchased 5/01, sold 8/03 |
