Looks kinda like a '70s Mazda Capella (Rotary), but it doesn't have the side mirrors placed out on the fenders...

It might also be an early (looks like 1st or 2nd generation) Toyota Corolla...

I think it (maybe) is a KPGC110 Skyline GTR. It was the last Skyline GTR until the R32, and was made around 1973. Have you got any other pics?

Well thats possiblebut i lookedat some old photos of the skylines and they had mirrors on the front 1/4s but of course the car has been modified look at the stering wheel on it and i wouldent mind wagering thats not the origonal paint job or wheels.

Kenny's right. There is zero chance of that being a 2000 gt. The model skyline I suggested has a rear that looks like the early celicas (and this car), which is why I suggested it. Also the wheel arches and lines near the back are very close.

Having said that, I accept I am probably wrong anyway, just wanted to have a helpful guess.

I'm getting more and more sure that it's a modified Mazda Capella, though I'm probably wrong too. It's most likely some unknown that none of us have ever heard of

Actually, I think its an RX-3. That might be the same thing as the Capella, but I saw a picture of an RX-3 Drag Racer and the body shape was identical to that one.
