Some of you might recognise this car . . .

It belongs to a good friend of mine over in the land of the rising sun named Masato . He bought it from someone over here in San Diego and had it shipped over in a box . I guess he drives the rice out of it over there , check the sweet Toyota inliner . All his friends **** when they saw it , who the **** , in America , builds a trad styled bucket . . . with a Jap motor in it . Needless to say it is a big hit over there . I told him he should call it " Rotsa Ruck Round Eye " . . .

 

love it!

 

That T was on Rogues Ranch Run a couple years back.
Runs good, sounds like a Cheeby with straight 1" twice pipes winding out..at idle!
Check out where the TOYOTA on the cam cover has been modified to say TOY T.

 

I bet that sticks out
I dig it

 

that thing rules, he needs one of them dope-*** wooden sake bo**es for a puke tank!

 

I think I saw that maybe two years ago around Christmas time at a swp meet at the Qualcomm Stadium. Is that possible? I remember the side-draft carbs.

 

Yeah he just got it over there earlier this year I think . . . so that would have been at the big 3 . Most honourable hotrod .

 

Whew...for a minute there I thought you sold your Merc. I still have a yen for that car...

 

yea theres the 4age motor i love it. it looks real good in there. damn now u got me thinking...... maybe i will put that toyota 6 banger in my chevy..mmmmmmm

One of the Lifters built it.

 

Richards old car. Billy Rounds did the exhaust and the rest was Richard on a real slim budget. Neat little car. Guy that bought it saved for 10 months, came to the states, found it, and offered up a sum Richard coudn't refuse. Cool................

 

they have to do that because the bigger the motor, the more the registration and tax is every year. Major $. That is why the hondas/Acuras are hoped up. 1.6 1.8 liters. because when they go over 2 liters they have to pay out the *** in taxes. Talking thousands per year when you go over 2 liters

 

That's great. Masato is a great guy.good to see him in a hot rod.

 

Do you happen to know a long time friend and Old Hot Rodder like myself named Gene Jordan? Lives there in Kennewick, has the 38/39 COE with the mid frame mounted blown 460, black w/ flames, lic plate "UGLY"?? <font color="red"> </font> Davey

 

man i remember when it was at the shop gettin ready for them to send it over there, thats awesome hes dricing the piss out of it

 

I like that setup,any idea of the horse pressure
of that engine?

 

Does anyone know what the steering box is off of?

 

It looks like a box is off a mid 1960's mopar

 

That is a reversed Corvair box.
