I love the $4800 price tag for a clapped up B14 with some permanent body ricing that can't be undone. Also a T25 kit from the 1990s covered in dust.

I can imagine the conversation between Herson and Emerson over at the body shop...

- I don't think that boy is coming back for his Datsun.
- Nah, let's sell it. I heard a guy named Craig has a computer page where you can sell cars.
- Let's see, says here on top twin something, and I think that might be a dang turbo there!
- Yup, sticker here says it a 1.6 liter. Hell that ain't even half of whats in the Dodge!
- Damned Korean junk.
- Hey, set them lights and grille in there so it looks right in the photos.
- How much you reckon it's worth?
- Twin turbo Korean car? Hell, four grand?
- Let's make it 4800 and offer to paint it for extra.
- Works for me. Who's gonna write the advert?
- Do we need a computer?
- I don't know. Maybe we can write it down and mail it in.
- You got a pencil?
- Nope.
- Paper?
- Nope.
- Aw hell.

I couldn't resist, so I just sent an email to the boys over at the body shop...

Hello,

Do you folks realize how rare a car you have there? That is not a 1.6 liter, it is a 2 liter imported from Japan which was used in only a handful of test vehicles and road racing cars in the early to mid 90's. That engine is probably worth that much, more if it runs. And the grille and headlights are from a Nissan Luciano which was only available in Japan and in very limited numbers.

There are also references on the internet that one time owner of Nissan Motor Corp, Mr. Domo Arigato, had one of these, in blue, specially built for his own personal use. What you're sitting on is a potential gold mine if you could make that connection.

If I were closer I would have already showed up with cash in hand and ran for the hills with that car.

Best of luck!

HAHAHAHA!!!!! They got my email, thanked me for the heads up...

Thanks for the heads up on this car. A customer left this car here so we have very little info to go on as to its history.

Thanks again,
Falcon Collision Repair


and then relisted it....
