I was never sure what you classified this one as - a car - a ute - a fun truck. Neat to see a miniature version of the Samari. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Samurai's seem to have a following out here in the desert towns, and I see them all the time, but most are parked in yards and out of service. There was a mechanic in my town who seemed to collect them and work on them, between his regular repair work. He had a bunch all lined up and parked in his lot. I don't recall the Samurai as shallow bodied with a high roofline like this casting. Maybe I need to refresh my memory? Edited by ivantt, Aug 7 2014, 02:46 PM.

Shallow body and high roof is correct. Couple of different friends had them over the years. |

This one could use some bigger wheels and tires. I think the small wheels make the shallow body look even shallower. |
