Hell yeah, these were so frickin popular in the modified car scene, heaps were in car mags done up, show cars, drag cars, everything.


here's an 81 sedan also


cars like this would be perfect for online racing groups. There should be races for 70s and 80s cars.

Great little car if you ask me. Years ago I came across a 2dr that was done up to look like a miniature A9X. Flared guards, cut down A9X rear spoiler & a front air dam. It had the Isuzu 1800 twin cam with a 5 speed behind. Went like a rocket & cornered like a cat on carpet! ​
