I don't think I can wait 26 yeas for Isuzu to start making Bellett GTs again. I think the year is Showa 47, which would be 1972.

Hey thanks for catching that. I copied and pasted off the site. Sometimes the older cars have a weird year description.

Only thing I can think of is the software they use may not recognize the years going back that far, or they put a high # on it so it shows up at the top of the list automatically.

It is Showa 47 going off the information on the car (in one of the blocks near the top left corner).

I'm guessing the /2 under S47 must mean it was built in February? The Bellet is my dream JNC, so I'm always interested in any info that comes up about them.

The quad round lights in the oval grill is perfect, but the square taillights and bezels on the back look like after-thoughts.

Yes it would be February 1972. It's good to have the month if you're looking at a car that is close to the 25 year cut-off for importation. Sometimes it's not listed.

I agree, the tail lights seems like an after thought. Maybe blacking out the trim rings would make it pop.

If you really want one here is another. It went to auction yesterday and didn't sell, maybe due to being a grade 2 car. It goes again on the 5th. Bidding starts at 150,000
