Funny thing about that Mustang. on the sides where the GT badges should have been, it had the GIANT CIRCULAR GT BADGES from the back of the car with the entire chrome surround. Don't have a picture of that, though.

Isn't Japan's tax structure based on the length/width/height/displacement of the cars, instead of ambiguous "class" (such as full-size/mid-sized) and economy? I can't imagine that Cadillac being easy to own over there, with its massive engine and size, yet slow speeds and terrible fuel economy. Someone should enlighten me to the system, especially in regards to older cars like that. What about insurance?

Badass car though, if only because it does seem like the sort of thing that would be a pain in the ass to drive.

The engine in there isn't as large as you may think. Its just and LT1 (5.7ltr) and it wasn't slow for the time. The LT1 is actually a pretty durable engine if you take care of it. D-bodies basically have a B-body drivetrain.

Kind of (Displacement wise.) Drive a Toyota Tundra? Be expected to pay more than 150 a year.

Well thats not too bad then. But I guess it is a lot compared to $0 for a Kei car. (if I got my facts straight)
