Hi @silverbug. Wow, what a nice post! I will resteem this one. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the resteem, I'm glad you liked my post, cheers.
Roof rust was always a problem on them, well for the lower end 120Y's(?)
Haha - memories!!
Most of the cars back then had a problem with rust, they were all steel not like the plastic cars we drive now, Lol, cheers.
That’s a really nice looking car - they don’t make em like that anymore eh?! Great colour too and what a great condition she is in!
Was that a car show or something local to you? I dream of winning the lottery and restoring a classic like this, Ford Capri though if I’m honest is what I’d love!
Great photos, thanks for sharing 👍
It was a local car show, I would have to agree with you on the Capri, they were a wicked little car. I was also a fan of the RS 2000, they were an awesome car, cheers mate.
I always liked your post @silverbug
Thank you friend, cheers.
This brings back some memories. I had a 1974 Datsun 260 2+2, it was a really fun car to drive.
They were a great car in their day, must of been treat to drive, I think they looked so much more modern than other cars of the same era, cheers mate.
Mine was often mistaken as a Jaguar, because the 2+2 was longer than the other Z cars, since it had two very small back seats. The speedometer said 160mph and I took there many times. It was the Fastest stock production car I have ever owned.
Wow that's quick, imagine if you put a big fat turbo on it! it would takeoff like a rocket ship. cheers.
Incredible friend. I so love this car I am proud with the car. A post that many o. .. I am so glad to see my favorite car
Thank you friend, glad you like it, cheers.
