"Consult our rundown of cars that&amp;#039;ll make you a millionaire, and you might notice that, among plenty of German and Italian kit, there&amp;#039;s just one pick hailing from Japan. That&amp;#039;s because, for various reasons, Asian classics have yet to emerge as preeminent moneymakers at auction. That is, of course, with one notable exception: Last May, RM gaveled off a yellow &amp;#039;67 Toyota 2000GT for some $1.15 million\u2014nearly 10 times the amount paid for a mint Porsche 356A Convertible D at the same auction. Why? Well, it&amp;#039;s an exquisitely styled coupe, front-engined and rear-wheel-drive, with a powerful inline-six powerplant. People call it Japan&amp;#039;s E-Type, but the 2000GT was even more than that. Down 116 hp to the rival Jag, Toyota&amp;#039;s two-door relied on a scant 2400-lbs curb weight and near-perfect weight distribution to keep up. It&amp;#039;s been the archetype for every Japanese sports car since, from the Datsun Fairlady Z to Honda&amp;#039;s NSX. READ THIS: A drifting Toyota 2000GT  This particular 1968 example is right-hand-drive and has been repainted from its original Pegasus White, so don&amp;#039;t expect seven figures when it crosses the block May 17 at RM&amp;#039;s Monaco auction. But it still comes from a production run that spanned just 351 units, so it won&amp;#039;t be cheap, either. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
