2/70 #1901 what a waste

[hr369]

This usa LHD car is for sale in japan. Someone imported it and let it sit outside and rust. Looks like its been there quite a few years.

I doubt anyone will bid on it. Probably will end up in the recycling yard.

I agree it should be saved if possible. It looks very rot.. can't read Japanese but looks like it says L28 engine, if no original engine there it would be a problem for a correct restoration.

It does say 2800cc, 5spd, mdl year 1991, and the bonus is that it is a 5-seater (at least through my translation app.)

A lot of what seems like inaccurate info. but who knows? Maybe you can fit 5 Japanese people in there?

Likely it was imported and used many years ago and then someone lost interest and let it sit there. Not uncommon to see cars sitting outside in Japan like this.

While in college in the mid seventies, I regularly had 3 young ladies and myself in the car.  The smallest one was folded up and put in the hatch area, the other two shared a seat & console.  What fun college was.

, yeah I recall coming out of pubs and having friends want a ride home (I wasn't drunk) and a couple of girls trying to squeeze into the 1 passenger seat. Always made me nervous someone was going to snap the choke knob or break the center console by sitting on it. Non car people just don't understand.
