That's a proper CROWN. Those beasties were the CROWNs of my youth...there used to be one outside my local chip shop when we got chips after swimming. My Mum hated it...I didn't.

If i'd sold my bug i would seriously consider this.......its only in the next town too..... slammed and rimmed ( oo-er ) ...and that would look champion... and maybe a better muffler to make the best of those six cylinders...  |

Someone has to get this and do the rightful thing to it, othewise a banger racer will. So many big seventies and eighties Datsun and Toyotas have been wasted on the tracks over the last few years.

You could have some fun at track days with a tuned one of those. Think of the looks on all those Saxo drivers' faces when the 'funny-looking bog standard old Toyota' eats them alive (you could put some kind of modern Toyota engine in, Supra power anyone?) |

I'd think about it (as I'm getting rather itchy for something interesting),.. BUT,.. it is a Very heavy car (3000lbs) and does about 18 mpg,.. so hardly a suitable trackday/hillclimb car or a suitable daily barge,..
Unless I can radically lighten it and get more fuel efficiency out of it,..

That's proper cool! I don't have any childhood memories of them really, they were far too rare round our way. But I do remember seeing one in Liverpool once when I was about 14 and trying to describe the incredible coolness of the bonnet-mounted indicators to a petrolheaded mate of mine... We searched our magazines for hours and couldn't find a pic of the car I'd described, and for years he thought I'd made it up until I saw another one, took a photo and showed him the evidence |

My dad nearly bought a secondhand 2 year old CROWN coupe 1974! But he bought a new smaller Carina because they didn't have a 4 door CROWN in stock. Boooo! He never owned anything but Datsuns, Mazdas and Toyotas from 1974 to 1989....might be were I got the bug from! www.motorbase.com/uploads/2004/04/11/fs_image(09).jpg |
