What is that? Reminds me of a REPU/B1600. Love it.

 

[TexRex]

What is that?

1971-6 Ford Courier.

Thanks. Always been a sucker for small pick ups like these.

I'd love a REPU or Datsun 520, but as I'm not interested in a big project, it'll never happen.

Edit: May as well throw an early Hilux (back when we called them that too ) into the mix.

It's basically a rebadged Mazda but they had some really nice variations for a while. They dropped it when they introduced the Ranger in the early 80s taking the name from an offroad package from the F series. I think you could get these with everything from 4 cylinders to diesels to rotaries.

TIL. Rad, so rad.

The rotary truck was badged as a Mazda.

In very much the same way as the Chevrolet LUV was just an Isuzu and the Dodge Lamb (pint-sized Ram ) was just a Mitsubishi.

I think you're right but its essentially the same thing with Mazda written on it instead of Ford.

Rotary was unique to the REPU (in terms of trucks, that is), the B-series of the era got the same four-pot as the Courier--switch that, it was a Mazda engine if memory serves.

My brother had a Mazda B1600 - threw a 12A rotary in it while he was restoring it, and it was practically a REPU.

Well, maybe in the mechanical department, but REPUs had their share of exclusive body and interior panels to them, which is why they are "rare and exclusive", they were pretty unique.

I think he had those too. I'll send you a pic of it when I get home from school.

Not sure if like.. Unless it's actually V-Spec II Nur instead of wannabe Z-tune clone..

 

[Heldenzeit]

Pretty sure thats an actual Z-Tune.

According to the license plate number, it's an actual Z-Tune.

Posted this in the Questionable Modifications thread and was told that this car is tasteful. What do y'all think of it?

Not a single person said it was tasteful.

 

[The87Dodge]

Not a single person said it was tasteful.

Not a single person disliked it though.

 

[Heldenzeit]

It's cool, but I wouldn't call it tasteful. I love cars with big bolt on flares and negative offset wheels, but they aren't to everyones taste.

 

[Snorevette]

Not a single person disliked it though.

Just because a select few people like it, doesn't mean it's tasteful.

I think that this:

Spoiler

isn't actually too bad, but being a donk, it's about as far from tasteful as you can possibly get.

I think this might be one of the best donks I've ever seen. Damn it Snorevette, you're tempting me to send some here and annoy a few people.

Edit: Oh God yes...
