There are no classic Japanese cars lol!

If you win the Powerball, I guess you'll have a long line of applicants.

I remember the 1970 Subaru, but I don't think that's a classic.

1967 Toyota 2000GT?
1970 240Z?
1978 Mazda RX-7 (Wankel) isn't old enough to be a classic.

I bet you could ask for your own classic Japanese auto show, and you'd be able to buy any you want (perhaps all of them).

The last time I saw a Toyota 2000GT up for sale, it was $650,000.

They only imported 62 of them into the US, so if they're all still around and in as good a shape as the one 2 years ago, you could buy all of them for only $40,300,000.

Everyone here on Autogeek could come and be your detailing staff. But, you'll have to find someone to drive all of those cars :bolt:

None of those are classic cars only 16 year old kids like those cars lol.

Me and the rest of the parts dept. all chipped in 5 bucks each, lol. If we win anything in the millions... I'm seriously not going back to work for a while, lol.

At least it's a huge starting number. Back in the late 1980s I was VP of IT at U-Haul. We had the AZ lottery, but no Powerball yet. A group of people who worked for me chipped in and bought a bunch of tickets. They had a winner (the biggest in AZ up to that time) and the ticket was worth $6.5 million. Unfortunately, there were 28 people in the pool, and whoever bought the tickets checked the box for the 20 year payout. So, they each got about $11,600 per year for 20 years. Not chump change, but not enough to change anyone's lifestyle by much.

Make sure everyone gets a copy of all of the tickets before the drawing. Stories abound where someone buys all the tickets for a group, one wins, and somehow that was one that the person bought for themself, rather than for the group buy.

Viel Glück

I turned 16 the year the Toyota 2000GT showed up. I remember lusting after a Lamborghini Miura, a DeTomaso Mangusta (one of my dad's co-workers had one - and yes, I got to drive it).

Others on my most wanted list included
1966 GTO
1967 Firebird 400
1966 GT350

Ended up with a 1962 MGA 1600 MKII that needed a resurrection, rather than a restoration. I have a photo of that car (post resurrection) around somewhere. If I find it, I'll scan it and post it.

The OP specified Japanese Classics. Pickings are slim :dig:

Those are some nice cars! Not true that only 16 year old kids like them, if fact just the opposite. 16 year old kids want hot rods (Stangs, Cameros, Chevelles etc). The guys at least.

We at work got like 200 tickets. Crossing fingers.
