comments
The year is 1964. The place: Japan. Our subject is the Prince Motor Company, and they’re not going to take this affront lying down. Porsche’s 904 GTS just defeated Prince’s race-modified Skylines in their own backyard, and instead of getting angry, they’re going to get even.

As we like to say around the virtual Hoonvierse watercooler, what eBay Motors giveth, eBay Motors taketh away. Or something. It seems like for every 50 bone-stock vintage cars, you get one awesome custom and one awful custom. Yesterday you saw the latter. Today, eBay delivers with the former.

But knowing when to quit is pertinent when you start chucking the Coventry bits and shopping in GM’s backalley parts bin.

If there’s one trend that Hoons the world over mourn, it’s the penchant for extraordinarily hairy men to gut a shorty van and fill it full of shag carpet, teardrop windows, and sci-fi murals.
