I've wanted one of those for years. They're either rotten, or insanely priced.
Guessing mako shopped the badge off to make it tougher.

Why yes, yes that is a rotary pickup, the REPU. And I did some MS Paint for the grille. Here's the unredacted pic.Now I have to up my game a bit.

Judging by the greenhouse, Subaru SVX?

Although from this camera angle, the back-end looks more rounded, like a Mazda MX-6.

After some internet sleuthing (yes, I cheated) ...

SVX was my first guess too, but the rear was all wrong for it.

Neither. The 200SX is a good guess. And it is a turbo.

Looks like an early / mid 80s Toyota Corolla SR5. One of my friends had one in High School.

Front end is wrong for a Trueno. But otherwise looks close to an AE86

1982 Nissan Gazelle. It's the precursor to the Silvia. Unredacted pics: In RS guise, it's a 2L turbo. Pretty quick at the time. They had variations like the hatchback below and the "coupe" version under it. All from the same lineage as the Silvia/200SX/240SX.





And a nice little write up on one model.

Gazelle RS

Huh, never heard of the Gazelle. Thought for sure it was the 200SX/Silvia S12. Thx for posting!

My 1st thought was Isuzu Piazza / Impulse Turbo. But no hood scoop on the Isuzu.

With those quad-headlamps, I'm guessing 1970s.

My mind keeps going to Triumph Dolomite, but it's not quite "bird-like-beaky" enough, no center ridge, and the fender mirrors say Japanese marque.

The model named here is Coupe 9 S Type. I think the 145 family may be right. Here are the real pics.

For some reason the front really reminds me of the Lancia Fulvia Zegato from Harry’s garage, but I know it’s not because I believe those are 2 doors only. I’m trying to think of cars with headlights that would fit that cutout. Some jags would, but hood is too short. I also just watched the top gear Saab episode, and it reminds me of the car they were driving when James spoke about the gf and he couldn’t remember her name but he remembers everything about the Saab.
