This Lancer 1600 GSR, though built in1974, is a replica of the Shinozuka-driven Lancer that was entered into the 1976 Southern Cross Rally (finished fifth). The owner of this beautiful tribute car bought it 2004, reprayed the body in that original green, then proceeded to turn the dreamcar of his childhood into Shinozuka's rally car.
The A70 Series Lancer was built from Feb 1973 to Mar 1979. This Lancer notchback sedan was built in 1974. It has a 1,597cc inline 4 engine.
