Hi Herzel.

Google says it was a 1967 Toyota 2000gt. Check out the story here:

In case you come back looking for this thread later today, be sure to check in NFC if you don't find it in DF, as it will most likely be moved to NFC eventually.

And it looks so Italian...

and thank you Jim D (is this Jim Decker?

 

[JimD]

It is I.

Yes Herzel. JimD is Jim Decker.

I am not a big Bond movie fan, so I don't remember ever seeing one of those cars before. I never would have guessed that it was a Toyota.

Herzel, I just saw one of those this summer

It passed through Albuquerque as part of the Great Race this year. Yes, there was a lovely Japanese girl...and her husband. They shipped it over just for the event. I understand that this car sold for 6 figures earlier.
