is that the model with the kinda wrap-around front indicators! i've always suspected that they must have been styled by an american, does anyone know for sure!

(p.s indicators or parklights)

that is the one. Have seen a lot of left hand drive ones on the net so it may have been modelled for the american market.

possibly so, but more than that, i reckon by the look of them that the weren't styled by a japanese person back in the day, more to the point they look 70's american styled.

I had some mates who dropped Chevy v8s into their coupes. Terrifying to drive in the wet though! Lovely cars in their day

They were fitted with 4.1 falcon motors and 253/308 holden v8s more commonly around here, as were the datsun 240/260c's.There were a number of those coupes here in Dunedin, all red or that cow shit green. Someone that worked for Thrifty tyres herehad one for a long while.

It was Dunedin in the early 80s! Does that make Dunedin an official bogan town! I always thought Timaru took the title overall.
