Well, I just bought this car a couple of months ago, but I got a new job and will be moving and losing my garage for the foreseeable future. I was really looking forward to making improvements to this car and making it my own. In any case, I need to sell the car and thought I would list it here before Craigslist.

It is a 1970 Datsun Roadster with a motor/trans/rear LSD swap from a 1984-85 RX7 GSL-SE. The engine is a 13B rotary with sidedraft webers. When I got the car, there was an oil leak from the pan, but I installed an oil pan brace which remedied this issue. The car is very fast (almost scary - a 13B with only 2000lbs to push around) and handles very well. The engine feels to be in great shape pulls very hard. I have also swapped out the racing seats in the pictures for miata seats which really improved the drivablilty of the car as the racing seats were hard to get in and out of. The current seatbelts are 4-point racing harnesses.

In addition to the car I have the following parts to include:
-New set of swan neck mirrors for the front fenders
-New fairlady emblem for rear deck
-Racing seats pictured in car (miata seats are now installed)
-Set of bumpers that need rechroming for installation

Here are the issues (as I see them). I am not a Datsun expert so take what I say with a grain of salt.

-The car could use a paint job. The yellow is a little much and there is surface rust in the rear quarter panels that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. See pictures in the photobucket album I have linked.

-New wheels are needed. The ones on it are fine, but really don't fit the character of the car at all.

I have approximately $5,200 in the car and would love to get that back out of it. I am open to any offers and negotiation though as I realize motor swaps do not generally add to the value of a car. Here is a link to my photobucket album.

All of the pictures are current with the exception of an oil pan brace and black miata seats.

Thanks for your consideration and feel free to ask any questions.

 

Update on this one - I am moving soon and need a quick sale. Price is $4,500 OBO. Give me a call at 478-951-2224 with any questions.
