V-Dot Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I know it's not a datsun, but I figure everyone here can appreciate it anyways. She looks real good sitting next to my 620 :cool: it's a '72 toyota crown, and uber-rare...sweet huh? Quote Link to comment

tnip Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 very interesting design... they were obviously thinking of the future when they came up with the styling... any interior pics? what kind of powerplant does it have? have you figured out exactly how rare (i.e. production numbers)?

datzenmike Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I like the rear lights. (and the four headlights) Quote Link to comment
V-Dot Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'll take some interior pics maybe tomorrow, it's pretty bland though good shape, just boring...Power plant is the toyota 4M 2.6 inline 6, it's the ancestor of the 5M-7M (cressida, supra). And yeah I have found out how rare, about 4000 units between 71-74 worldwide. I've found three other people in the states that own them, a few in australia, and most in japan. One guy in the states has 3, so he single handedly owns most of them in north america lol, he has two coupes and a wagon...the coupe is the sexiest beast. In japan they have a nickname for it. Kujira which mean whale lol. the best part is, they were never labled as toyotas, just says "crown" so nobody can figure out what the hell it is..I haven't really driven it much yet, but the couple time I have it's gotten a shit load of attention. Right now I'm just waiting to get the rusted to shit gas tank back from the shop, then I'll insure it and start driving it a bit...Too bad I got this at the tail end of summer, cuz I ain't driving this thing in the off season.
