Saw this car before. It actually belongs to the owner/founder of Top Secret IIRC... Smoky.

If only the Subieyota/Toyobaru looked this good.

One of my favorite old-school JDM cars Now drop an 2UR-GSE in for some V8 muscle to go with the looks.

I guess some people don't subscribe to the concept of "less is more", including the guy who put the hundred or so stickers/badges and colored accessories on that car.

Sure it doesn't look terrible, but it could look much better if it had a cleaner more fluid design.

That's the exact thing I was thinking. The front looks like the old school challenger, and the back looks like the mustang.
