Some of you might recognise this car . . .

[=mike=]

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 shit when they saw it , who the fuck , 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 " . . .

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 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.

[=mike=]

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

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................

[PAPASMURF]

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 ass 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.
