That reminds me, back in 2004 it cost less to rebuild a hot 13B than it cost to build a hot piston engine. Racing Beat at the time supplied the parts. When I looked a few years ago, Racing Beat was out of business and prices had skyrocketed


This pic?


The white car in lower right corner is the Toyota ESV-II, shown at the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show

Sunny Rotary pic there was at the 1973 Tokyo Motor Show. At that show they had the Datsun's ESV which was a car of the future -- it looked a lot like the 1976 Datsun 810, but the grill looked like a 1978 Celica!



Experimental Safety Vehicles were a U.S. Department of Transportation initiative started in 1970
