Open to trades, PM me! Thanks!

I've been asked for awhile to put a price on the car so there's a starting point. Willing to work with a buyer, happy to answer any and all questions!
It's after weeks of deliberation that I've decided to list my Datsun for sale. Please note; I don't need the money from the sale, I am in no rush to move the car. I bought this thing 99% stock, the only modification was a set of chrome wheels. It was originally a California car, but migrated back to Northern Illinois for the last ~3 years of it's life, where it was a summer/spring cruiser. Floor pans, frame rails, dog legs, quarters, etc are all rust free.

I swapped the car with the 5.3 and a T56, then changed over to a single turbo/TH400 setup this past winter. Roughly 650 miles on the new build. Car makes 700whp on 17lbs of boost with E85, with plenty of fuel pump and injector left on the table. The drivetrain is solid, and ready for anything you can throw at it. Similar setups have gone high 8s and can drive to and from the track without issue. Additionally, if you want to put a 6 speed back in this thing, it would take a weekend and a new driveshaft. I rocked a T56 for a year before going auto, very easy to swap back.

It has the best engine management you can buy, the best drivetrain components, bulletproofed anything that was weak. The car gets insane attention everywhere it goes. The decals are vinyl, they come right off. All the components in this build were purchased 10000% new. Nothing was used or beat on from another owner.
