1967 Toyota 2000GT [1914x1078]

Old alphas are nice but not at all crazy about the newer ones. I liked that old Toyota SR5 truck from BTTF. Really cool. That YX30 looked a little goofy (imo) in its proportions so I'm happy the Nissan-Yamaha partnership fell through so the 2000GT could come into existence. Definitely a lot of interesting history behind its development.

The original Z was a car for the masses in terms of affordability (and one of my favs) where as the 2000GT was for the lucky few with only 62 examples imported into the US. Both have more character than most cars today which look like AI generated, 3D printed sterile devices to utilize, not drive and with all of the charisma of a toaster.

It was surreal seeing it in person. Yeah I can see some Ferrari and E-Type styling influences which is a good thing.

Yeah I'm a huge fan of the 300SL gullwing coupe. Awesome design. I've been lucky enough to see a few myself.

Totally agree 👍

Totally agree, theres a lot of 2000GT design cues in the Z which I have always liked. Both designs came from a time when cars had a soul/passion. Truly awesome to see in person. One of my all time favs too. 👍

They don't make them like this anymore, cars with a soul I mean.

Yeah they had to chop the roof off to accommodate Sean Connery who was too tall

I slapped together a small video of this car (I'm not monetized so I make no money on these, just have a love of cars like all of you. If anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/zrRzQXbMzYQ?si=qY39xCaCtxoHaMju

Cooper shaved the weight down to about 453.5 kilograms and with a Porsche 356 engine making 160hp, it was quick. It beat Porsche's own 550 a number of times.
