This was a very cool walk around video. The whole Marlboro livery is cool, and people who have an issue, should really look beyond what they think, and know the actual reason behind it. Keep up this amazing work buddy.
I hate smoking as the next fellow (with asthma), but having this design, and "promoting" smoking is two totally different thing. For those who don't like it because of that, I have a question: does that mean that WW2 tank manufacturer Porsche, airplane manufacturer BMW are also on the banned list? ... Cheers mate, looking forward to the next video!
While back i had an opportunity to ride in a Cedric (almost exactly the same car as this) and the ride was smoooth! That back seat only does not look comfy but it is.
Have a 300c (cedric) in aus with two tone gold/white paint, factory body kit, vg30e sgl spec, very similar but a saloon with an opra window instead, Love it!
The Gloria is a close cousin of the 300C marketed in Australia. The 300C had a VG30E 3.0 V6, the same as the 300ZX and the later D21 Nissan Pathfinder (and others) The Gloria would have been fitted with a VG20ET, and if my memory is correct, was the first Nissan to use a variable vane turbo charger. That one would have
@@wasabicars There's also 230 & 330 Cedrics here too. The Aussie naming got a bit confusing, as the 230 was a 240C, and later in the model run got the L26 engine and got badged 260C... Then the 330 came out with the 2.6 and continued the name... until, you guessed it, got upgraded to 2.8 as a 280C. Then the 430 arrived to follow on as a 280C. I have a 330 260C as a project car at the moment 🙂👍
Hay Daniel, great vid as usual. Loving the Gloria, that interior! Wow. Gotta be one of my fav's and one I really would like to drive, along with the bird poop Cosmo! Laters mate, don't work too hard 🤘🚗
It's interesting how Japan would sell less but have so many variations compared with say Volvo's of the 80s, but man this thing is squarer than a 740! Excellent!
I thought the shape looked familiar, I´ve driven one of these! Altho it was a diesel and not a turbo, I think not a hardtop either. But this is apparently also a Cedric! My sister had a black (´82?) diesel Cedric for a while, I drove it a bit on small roads before getting my license
Great video and awesome to see one of those cars up close! And like I said in the chat, what a coincidence with the Cedric photos I sent you earlier this week. 😆 About those haters: I can imagine a person is against smoking, but this is hardly promoting smoking. It's a tribute towards an 1970s race car livery. 😞 About your Shopify shop, I wasn't aware you had one. Please share your experience via WhatsApp as I was planning to open one as well for the stickers
Hi. I, of course, am more than happy to help with your shopify. So, consider me your helpdesk. The issue I had was with shipping for the print-on-demand stuff. Because it shipped from... (I have no clue), I had to consider shipping prices from... there, to which I wasn't clear on. I.e. they had tiered shipping pricing dependent on order cost. You'll have to factory in your margin with the shipping price rules on your store. ... I suspect that wasn't clear. It really is complicated.
@@wasabicars gaudy, cheap chintzy toys, with real Turbo V6 power. My uncle had a bunch of them, 260 C, Bluebird, love the squares, Nissan Mobil 500 promo drive cars were Bluebird SSS Turbos, the front drive ones. Staid styling with king hit engines and internals.
The Gloria is something what I wouldn't mined at all having it, someday perhaps. Sadly The papers are missing, that's a thing what you can easy sort in my country as a Barn find category , police record that the car isn't stolen and two witnesses that you bought the car. But that how it is but I hope it will drive on the roads again some day.
I hope so too. The car is a good, solid car, and the world needs more of those. I guess its fate will be that of a donor car. There's still so many good parts on it
How good would it be to have the Gloria as a weekend cruiser That interior is just so plush That smoking crap is so annoying does anyone under forty even know what it even is I love it Dan , you just have to be sorry for the haters they are very sad individuals I’m going to say gulf livery 😍😍👍👍👍
Dunno why but I thought it´s a 83. But I expected that the seat belt says the Showa number. And yes the Hardtops are always the best versions. It looks a bit more modern than the normal limo styles imho. "Gloria is glorious". The "why why". 😁
Hey. Yeah, I feel that the seat belt date is some internationally required thing, hence would have to following the internationally accepted date convention. It was glorious :)
@@wasabicars Yeah all say it´s kinda American but was never there. 😁 But I can imagine because the Cedric/Gloria was sold in some markets in Europe, too. But still didn´t expect the year number in the JDM model.
@@rogeralbans4082 I jush had a look. Bad news. Any and all marketplace ads are geoblocked to me because I'm in Japan. I've regularly received messages about stuff for sale on marketplace, and... never ever ever can I see. [sad face emoji]

cool, too bad about the papers tho. sad to hear about getting hate because of the " smoking promotion", some ppls will just bitch about anything regardless if they know anything about the topic at all...
Ahh, it's ok. It's been a decade now of getting negative comments for all different reasons. I guess it hurts a little with this one because that paint scheme is of my childhood hero's car. Meh. It's ok

Thanks so much for your understanding. We live in a world, as we always have, where people come to conclusions regardless of circumstances
That Gloria dashboard! Buttons for every occasion. The complete antithesis of modern car design. Awesome!
Straight out of an 80's living room's stereo until. lol
Love that generation of Gloria. The Jack Nicklaus edition is one of my grail cars. lol
Dammit. I was hoping to share a Jack Nicklaus one with you, but the one I saw was of the previous generation ua-cam.com/video/q3OX1Kebdsw/v-deo.html
Pillarless, turbo and with old school Work Ewing rims. Love it!
Edit - Anklet rims 😅
Yes! Work Ewing was what I thought they were. Dammit, same as
What a beautiful car 🤩
Definitely very cool
Love the Duck ! Fitment on point, nice wheel choice, tastefully done.
Thanks so much. And, agreed. They know what they're doing

Yes! Indeed. Perspective is a powerful thing. Thank you for those examples.
"Bird poop does not grow on trees". Pretty funny Daniel. Your car looks excellent, and that Gloria is sweet too. Keep up your great work.
Hahahaha! Thanks so much, man :)

NIce! Yeah, I was comfy as back there. I think I need employ a limo driver. Lol. Likely, it'll be me being the limo driver

Cool. Thanks for all that info! I just had a check through the vast photo archives. What I did see in Australia was a 280C, a "430 Cedric" as it were.

Great, now i want a box in my car yard lol. Very cool and unusual car dude.
Hahaha. Thx, DJ. That Toyota Franken-concoction you've got going on is pretty cool too.
Cool walk around. Ive been planning to import one of these for ages, always really liked them.. needless to say they arent getting any cheaper
Hell, yeah. Prices all over are going through the roof

Nice. Yeah, the sedan version of this car is mega rare in Japan. They seem easier to find outside of Japan than in

G.L.O.R.I.A.....Perfect patina! The pillerless partner to the OEM Cedric which was 300C'd in Australia. C is for Cintz, dats good enough for me....
Dean, for real? Chintz?? You playing?

what a lovely car & in this condition
Definitely. Thanks for watching :)
daihatsu sirion in Australia very nice 👌 and the gtvi was the awd sporty variant🤙
Ah, the Sirion. That's it. I do remember those when I was in Australia in 2001.
Plush af. Nice. Kinda reminiscent of a Chrysler in the early 80s
Boot poppers of that style require power to function

Im trying to find a nissan laurel not sure the year would love to get more pics and info its pink with numbers in big print 758
How good would it be to have the Gloria as a weekend cruiser
That interior is just so plush
That smoking crap is so annoying does anyone under forty even know what it even is
I love it Dan , you just have to be sorry for the haters they are very sad individuals
I’m going to say gulf livery 😍😍👍👍👍
Hell, yeah. Big drives would be epic in that. Thanks, David
Ooh the 2dr Corona mk2 ❤
