60s Coupe Body

[zeussy]

Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint (GTA)

There is one of those just parked up the street, it looks like I doesn't get driven much :'(

That's really a shame, those are meant to be driven.
And by that, i don't mean good old grannie-style.

Anyway....let's get back on-topic.

here is a link for 1970s american cars: http://www.pbase.com/rpdoody/classic_am ... _the_1970s

Think of French coupé too



A René Bonnet rare car:

Actually, Europe is unique by it's 60s Coupes. Citroen Ds 21 Chapron, BMW 1600, Ford Capri, Mercedes 280 SE, DeTomaso Pantera, Austin Mini Couper S, Jaguar E Type, Porsche 911, etc. America also gave some of the best and most popular cars ever: Ford Mustang Mach 1, Chevrolet Impala, Corvette Sting Ray, Camaro SS, Pontiac Gto, etc. Now, when I'm thinking about 60s cars, I found that you can't make just 3 chassis types for all of them. Those years factories wanted something new and different. My opinion is to take 1 American muscle (square body), and 2-3 European (misc square-round) chassis. This is just my opinion.

And we need headlights like that are not added to the body but who are part of the body you get my point?

*cough*



Granted its from the 70s, still need something that can be made into the shape of one of the most legendary sports coupes of all time

*cough*

you mean like this?

Funny story about the 2000GT...it was actually started and designed by Nissan, who then fired the design team in favor of the team who designed the 240Z. The 2000GT's design team took the car to Toyota. Theres a whole episode from the History channel on it IIRC, as well as a ton of articles somewhere on the web.

Either way, the 2000GT changed nothing in the sports car world. The 240Z changed everything

On the contrary, the 2000GT proved that the Japanese could "play with the big boys", and undoubtedly put them on the map. The 240Z proved that they could mass produce a good sports car at a reasonable price, but I would hesitate to say that it changed everything.
