I'm just gauging interest in the car. I don't want to sell it, but it may be a better choice to let it go and use the money toward tuition for next semester (law school is not cheap :D). So, make me an offer...

This car is one of TWO in the US (as far as I know), and the only one legalized. 100% legal, registered and smogs in California as a 1983 Nissan Skyline RS. It has been in the US for almost two decades and has a clear California title. It has just come back from filming (Fast and Furious 3 extra car)

Engine:
FJ20ET - Nissan's first (and best) 4-cyl DOHC (don't let the engine nomenclature fool you, it's a DOHC)
The T3 turbo is on its way out, so it may need a $300 rebuild at a local shop - the car still runs just fine (but doesn't get to full boost)
5-speed
Fully CA Smog compliant
156k kilometers, so about 96,000 miles

Suspension:
kg/mm springs
KYB shocks

Brakes:
recently replaced front rotors/pads and rear pads

Wheels:
15x7 +0 meshies

Boxes of parts, including spare head gaskets and other randomness, are included.

Insurance is very cheap as well, since this is a collector car. My premium is $300/year for full-coverage with Hagerty Collector Car Insurance.

Trade + Cash possible if you have something interesting (RHD Mini with a decent-cc engine, Triumph Dolomite Sprint, etc.), since I would prefer not to be stuck without in interesting weekend car :D.

Right now, offers have hit $11k on Craigslist (but we all know how dependable that place is ;)...

Didn't you just get this? I can't believe you're selling it.

I'd seriously consider buying it if you were local, I've wanted a DR30 ever since I saw the original Freeway Speedway movie back in the day.

Got any interior/engine bay shots?

I'm probably not selling it (unless I get a decent offer for it) :D...

did you buy this out of the "la auto guide"? I saw it listed in there about a year ago.
