I picture the driver of this as that weird area 51 scientist in Independence Day .. Anyone that has seen where this is parked knows the building holds some kinda secrets for sure.

i recant my statement. I didn't look close enough and that's an 79, which means it couldn't be a turbo so it has less seals to dry out. Bet it still hates sitting though, and its a super shame cause they are amazing cars to drive.

 

this is my pig. Probably rock this for a while now that my datto is outta commision

Yes, it's a "John Player Special" limited edition which I believe is '79 only? This one is definitely not a turbo.

 

And supposedly only 147 total were made. Only 10 of those came to California and only 16 were sold to the rest of the US. I am soooooooo tempted to buy it...

It honestly looks worse than it is. It was driven semi-regularly about 5-6 months ago. It's stored at a body shop and dust builds up super quick.

You can keep that on the road but your Datsun is down?
