amen to that brother

I just found the photo because I knew it was around and posted it here.

Im not sure of his name, nice coupe though datsuns look the goods in flat colours.

is that mark as in mopar?

tis a beautiful car though hope i can end up with such a neat result!

The red on the ebbro model is more like what I have seen on 1000's, as for his car being original colour I wouldn't know unfortunately.

its been painted on the outside but going by the original paint in the engine bay i would say it looks a darker maroon. is his car the original colour? have you seen the colour of the ebbro model? or is that different cause its a 2dr sedan/ clickme the sunny 1000 red at the bottom of the nissan page!

Is yours the same colour as this?

Mopar's 1000.
