If you thought a 1973 pigsbutt Nissan Laurel SGX was one of the coolest cars of the 70s, behold the even cooler Nissan Laurel C130-EV:

Okay, I must admit it is not as good looking as its butaketsu brother but it certainly doesn't run that hot!

This Electric Vehicle is powered by a 16Kw (21hp) electric motor propelling all those 1645 kilograms to an amazing top speed of 85 kilometer per hour! The lead-acid batteries make its radius an amazing 65 kilometer and I don't want to know how long it would take before it is fully charged.

Still a cool idea though. If I had the money for it I would definitely get a second Carina and make my own Carina EV out of it. And of course retaining its RWD...

This little girl had the coolest dad in the 70s: he owned a pigsbutt Laurel C130 hardtop!

Also the periodically correct yellow foglights are very nice!

The first thing I thought when I saw this pigsbutt (butaketsu) Laurel SGX was that it had developed a rusty (coin) slot:

Its rear end is completely rusted through and, apart from the interior, the rest of the car doesn't look much better either...
Still it is not way beyond repair: its new owner is going to restore it in full glory! :)
(BTW: it is not advisable to lookup "rusty slot"! :P )

To prove that not all Nissan Laurel C130s were bosozoku styled during the 80s:

With those Enkei Baja wheels and the Monroe air shocks all it needs is to be red and it would be the Japanese replica of the General Lee! :D
