Rare Bosozoku cars: Unknown car
People who read my personal blog already knew it, but I got married yesterday. I was hoping I would have a few minutes to post something for the rare bosozoku cars regular, but as it turned out to be I didn’t… So you have to be satisfied with some vip/bosozoku styled car which we could not identify…

It looks like it should resemble a Koenig Testarossa.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s Koenig was one of the most immitated tuners in the bosozoku styling. Their wild widened bodies with extravaganza spoilers was exactly what the bosozoku car should look like!

What also helped was that gang bosses drove around in VIP cars (Mercedes, BMW, etc) which had been modified by tuners, like Koenig.

The pictures were taken by Nagoya Racing and they look like they were taken during the early 90s…
Anyway, we were not able to identify the source for this car. Maybe you can help out?

Eventhough the SSR Techno Shadow rims are very hard to come by I found another Bosozoku styled car with a set of them:

This Toyota Celica Liftback is widened in Grachan style to mimic the 70s racer style:

In my opinion this car is one of the best looking Grachan styled cars I’ve seen so far!

This week we have a nice picture of some deep dish SSR Techno Shadow rims:

Little is known about the Techno Shadow rims, only that the were made by SSR somewhere in the 80s. They are even rarer than a meeting a gaijin in Hokkaido!
These deep dished Techno Shadows look fantastic on these Bosozoku styled cars! Really nice old school look and amazing how the thin spokes still keep such deep dished wheel in place!
And how deep is your dish?
