Datsuns had good performance and low cost.

Datsuns had good performance and low cost.

And was sold after the toyota 2000gt took off. Even though Datsun originally funded the design, they decided to not make. Toyota did, then datsun came out with their 240z that was nearly the same car. (Both designed by Yamaha)

And yes the 2000gt was expensive, but it was made BECAUSE toyota was then known for dependability and economy.

and then the E-typoe arrived

which was not exactly cheap either, but just cheaper It also did not seat more than two people. (until the 2+2) arrived

[nrcafootball68]

european or asian cars that offered sweet preformance at a relatively low price? (sort of how muscle cars could have been much more expensive than they were). if so, what were some popular/good/classic/notable ones?

thnx my knowledge of old/classic cars is crap

no all european 'muscle cars' are pieces of crap

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Methinks you Misinterpret him.

He said HIS KNOWLEDGE of old cars was crap, not OLD CARS are crap.

The 2000GT was not cheap...

In 1967, when a fully-loaded Shelby GT500 Mustang cost around $4200, the 2000GT cost $6800, which is a price increase of more than 50%. Keep in mind that Toyota was a completely different company in 1967. They didn't make economy cars...

That's true. I have a magazine with some specs on 1970 cars and the Toyota 2000 GT is listed at $7,150. It had a good top speed of 137 mph., but took 10.1 seconds to get to 60 mph, about the same as a same-year 318 Dodge Dart with economy (2.76) gears. The 2000 GT is also short on power... 150 hp and 130 lbs/ft torque (compared to 230 hp and 320 lbs/ft torque for a 318).

what were some good cars (european cars) during the 60's and 70's that you could get for the price of a good corvette

Well before I go digging out old mags - can't find original prices on any club sites - do we agree that UK prices for ALL cars were double the price of US ? It's a matter of fact that Eureop ain general and UK espcially has high prices for cars. it's nothing to do with cost to build, they chage what they think we'll pay.
Totaly different pricing to the US
How do we try to 'compare' equivalanet ????

yes, i CAN agree to that

so i guess the new question is what are some good european cars that you can get for that cost less than or around the price of two corvettes
