Would be nice though unlike the hot rod guys, these LS's don't seem to have that following stateside. I'm pretty amused to see the video's of vintage JDM cars. I find the 70's Cressida and Coronas . I would like having another MX73 Cressida but an MX63 would be better.

I have a feeling that if anyone pulls one of these out of a barn it will be to race/drift or rob the drivetrain out of it. Now, I have seen a trend of older import cars being fixed up but in order to restore one a strong aftermarket will be needed and I just don't see that.

I feel you op but yea I dont think that happens too much if even at all. Theyre probably either well taken care of or the beaters youll see occasionally mine live on both sides of the spectrum with my ownership. These days its doing better though. Haha
