Interest is building for these earlier Japanese sports cars. This rather sharp looking bronze Mitsubishi Galant GTO should look familiar. The designer, Hiroaki Kamisago, was a student of the Art Center College of Design in California, and borrowed heavily from American muscle cars of the era. This car is notable because it was the first Japanese car to feature true hard-top styling. Its 180-horsepower engine, 5-speed transmission and light weight made it quicker than one would expect.
