What Is this car?

Is this a second gen celica?

If it wasn't for the round headlights, I would say it's a C210 Skyline.

It's definitely not a Celica.

After double checking- yep, C210 Skyline. Looks like the Wikipedia article only shows the post-facelift model (C211) as the C210 has quad round headlights.

Thanks.

Please tell me you're buying one.

Looks like Nissan was going after the E9/E24 BMW.

Hot stuff - the Japanese classics are climbing in value nicely after being relegated to the AMC corner of values for many years.

Now that I know what the hell it is, I'm going to do some research, it's got some of that hakosuka swagger but maybe without the vintage tax yet? Might be a solid investment if I can find one.

I love me some Kenmeri Skyline. I have seen a few in the flesh and, yes, they do look amazing. RM Sotheby's sold one for $176k at Monterey two years ago. But with some prices on some Japanese classics dipping recently, I wonder what one is worth today.

I'm into them at <$10,000 lol, more than that, they can go to true enthusiasts lol.
