How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

A vintage Chevy C/K pickup is a bit unpractical to own in Japan, so you can have Dream Factory Blow convert your Mazda Spiano kei wagon into a replica like this one. This is one of a number of kits that Blow offers to convert kei cars into classic American trucks and vans. I love it :sumo:

Very cool. I'd commute with it.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

With a cb antenna on the roof that would look like a giant r/c car.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Now that's funny!

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

That looks way cooler than the SUV's, or whatever they were, that were posted on here before. Any shots of the rear?

As long as I could actually fit comfortably in it, I'd roll it!

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Here's a few more.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Wow!!!!!

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

i'd roll one if they made one to look like a 67 burb

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Now that there is just plain crazy

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Someone needs to chop the top on that blue one a little to make it look right. Other than that, where can I get one of those?

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Blown 572 anybody?

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Now those are just cuter than a basket of spotted pups. Probably not legal for the street in this country though.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

There's many ways around that. If you ship the car and engine separate into the US you can get around customs. After that, titling varies by state. But in TX there are several imported Skylines and other various JDM performance cars that are street legal.

I want a pic of that one next to a real one :lol:

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

And right hand drive to boot.You can't get much cooler than that for a grocery getter.I agree that they probably aren't legal in the US but I wouldn't want to drive one if they were.Can you imagine meeting Soccer mom on her phone in her Sub when you wer in one of those?

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

i'd love to have one just to take to shows, is it maybe small enough to ride around at the fairground/dragstrips. i would'nt care it it is'nt street legal in the US, i'd pimp the hell out of it at the racetrack.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Now thats pretty dern cool. I'd rock one.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

I don't know....the mirrors are wrong.

Seriously, wouldn't it be nice with an RX-8 engine in it?

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Man that would be cool to have at a show decked out just like your truck kind of a mini c-10

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

shave that huge hole in the cowl, add a cowl hood, shave the front marker lights or add rear ones, change the mirrors and wheels and that would be an awsome little toy or daily driver. And can anyone say ls-1 swap? :lol:

Put it the back of one of our trucks and use it as a dingy.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

The front end looks cool but the back looks like @ss. It needs our sport mirrors also because those are fugly.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

I don't think they look bad. A set of bullet mirrors would be a better look though. Or peeps. Shoot, peeps would probably fit better just because of their scale.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

buy the grill and bumper and put it on an S10

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

You know... on a first gen S-10... that may just work!

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Thats pretty cool

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

I have the right to my own opinion and thats just plain horrible. Not the design, the concept of the japanese copying these trucks, they cant build something worthwhile now so there trying to copy things that GM did right 40 years ago? :bsf:

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Yep you got a pretty good bead on it. The Japanese have failed miserably at making worthwhile vehicles. And what makes better sense than to go back 40 years to ancient American technology and rip off GM in a sinister but genius plan to save themselves.;) It's a tribute thats all

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

no its a custom shop that is into American style, has nothing to do with Japanesse auto makers.... i see nothing wrong with it

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Yyyyyeah...I'm gonna have to go ahead and uhhh, disagree with you there!

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

It looks like a Scion XB with a chevy imitation grille...

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Nissan Cube. ^^

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Those are sweet! We need to import those so we have something cool to drive when the gas prices are around $4. Hech I would probably like to have one now. Hay gm here is a idea to help save you guys. :D

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Especially the 94-03 s-10's. I always thought they looked like mini 67-72's and you put that grill and such on it, sweet!!!!!!!!!

As to legal use, I know here in oklahoma they just made the small japanese/chinnese trucks street legal here. You know the ones you see at nurserys, in city use and on ranches. I was wanting one of those till I saw this thread. Now I want one of them, especially the truck.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

Make the bed longer for a dirtbike and I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Or maybe a flatbed and you could carry two bikes, even better!

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

some one needs to put a blown small block with pipes going strait up in one have it all cromed up and make it into a hotwheel

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

With the media push for smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles to be manufactured, I could totally have some fun with one of these conversions as a commuter. Sure beats what we have for choices here. I agree the rear view could sure use help and I don't think it would take too much to handle if they can do the front so well. At 6'3" and 285 pounds with the shoulder span of a linebacker, I might have some serious trouble wedging into that mini cruiser.

Re: How about a mini '72? Crazy japanese!
 

i like the trucks! i'd rock one.
