Not sure if a student could afford 24s, but how many teachers would slap sparkly "24" emblems on the pillars? The '69 Continental that parks just down the block could well be a student car, though it's summer vacation now and the Lincoln is still there.


As we know, most Jalopniks prefer a dekotora to a donk, but there's no need to get all riled up over a '76 Regal 4-door with 24s if you don't groove on the donk thing; wheels can be replaced.


In '76, the Regal came standard with a 140-horse 350 engine. Since 1976 cars are not smog-exempt in California (1975 and earlier cars are exempt from emissions tests), that's most likely the engine that's hauling this car's vast bulk these days (though a 455 could probably be swapped in, as long as it looks like a 350 to the smog techs and passes the tailpipe gas test).

The Century is Toyota's flagship sedan, and if you hang out in the uber-frou-frou Ginza district after business hours the place is crawling with them. The Imperial family has also been known to floss them. The model began life in 1967, has only undergone one redesign ever - in 1997 - and looks exactly the same as it did on day one. The car is so highly regarded and exclusive that Toyota has an entire 5.0L V12 that's used only in this one model. Of course, that doesn't stop the hoons. When we went to visit Top Secret Tuning to do an article on their 1975 Celica, they had a twin-turbo V12 producing 1000hp stuffed into a Supra with an elongated nose. In fact, they had two of them.
