What makes any 1970s car better? Simple – more horsepower. Few classic cars can hold a candle to modern ones in terms of vehicle dynamics, stability, or cornering speed. So why even bother worrying about any of that? Most of the fun in these old cars tends to come from more casual cruises rather than backroad runs on the limit, so you might as well put your money where it makes the most impact. That’s precisely what Michael Lorey has done with his Toyota Cressida. The exterior is straight but not without its imperfections, likely boasting its original finish on most panels, and the fantastic factory red velour interior has been retained. These features are actually quite charming, and instead of messing with that, the car has simply been built for the maximum rush when stomping the loud pedal. And loud it is.
