Now this is a blaze from the past! The origin of the kaido racers had its roots in copying the style used in the 70s and 80s Grand Championships on Fuji Speedway and its styling was called Grachan. Headlight covers, widened fenders, hood air ducts and pink/gold number on the door.

I love this little piece of comment in the original blog:
When people could not stand Yonmeri.
I would be proud of having made such an early adopter of the Grachan styling, so definitely something to keep in the family album!

Of course I would be proud if I would own a Mazda Cosmo AP with 13b rotary engine in the eighties!

This particular Cosmo AP was owned by one of the members of the Aoyama Jokers and later on this car became one of the most iconic bosozoku styled Cosmo APs known. He swapped the headlights for a set of square headlights and was so fond of it he stood on top of his pride! Definitely something to add to the family album and keep it for future generations!

This particular Yonmeri Skyline was actually owned by one of the members of the Aoyama Jokers (one of the most notorious Bosozoku gangs in the 70s and 80s) and modified in what we call Kyusha Kai nowadays.

The car features a set of 9J wide Volk Mesh rims.
Of course this picture was taken near the beach/shore and the owner stands casually next to his pride and joy. Definitely worth adding such a photo to your family album!

Now what would have happened to this poor Soarer Z10? Could it be that these three guys actually did the Street Fighter II Car Bonus in real life? Or could it be that they wrecked their Soarer and just pretended...

We'll never know, but I'm sure it would be a great addition to their family album. :)

This masked rider is certainly going for the 80s hotrod style with his Nissan Gloria 330. Photo was probably taken in the same era.

Hotrod Gloria 330
For some reason the blanked-out licenseplate makes this Gloria's front look like face. The licenseplate resembles the tongue hanging out of its mouth and it's even got some orange cheekbones... I bet you can't look at that picture anymore without picturing that face in your head! （・∀・）

Now that's certainly a picture that should be in my family album! :P
