Previous Toy

Wanted to show off a previous toy I once had.

It's a 1981 Toyota Cressida with a mild Holden 308ci V8.

Crane cam, Edelbrock manifold, Holley 600. Worked Trimatic, and Ford 9 inch diff to suit.

Hilux struts, front brakes and calipers, Ford drums rear.

Had a 2 & 3/4inch exhaust (so it was loud).

And it attracted plenty of attention. Surprisingly plenty of it good attention.

I once got let off for doing a burnout in a shopping center car park. The Police Officer

was more interested in the car than what I had just done.

I also got death threats from a Porsche 911 owner, who, I easily hosed down.

I was assured by QLD Main Roads that the car could be registered in QLD due to a

common agreement with the NT. I was assured this before I moved to Brisbane.

I rocked up to Main Roads to get an inspection, bloke

pops the bonnet, says "absolutely NO WAY" and closes bonnet. End of inspection.

Sadly, I sold if off for parts in 1998.

Around 2 years later while on Brisbane's North side. I saw a Blue Toyota Cressida (same model)

with the same style XC Falcon wheels, and a very deep rumble to it.

Some times I wonder.

Sadly missed.
