Personally i think its a little ugly, mostly the tail lights. It could have a lot of potential though.
It comes down to you though

I think that for its price and rarity in nz id definately go for it.
SO many good examples of these in japan. Depends on your style though. Id have it so fast.
Old skylines are up there with the best.

i fully agree with cheater 5 on this one, if you dont like the tail lights, you could always fit a round tail light setup to it.

judgying by the jap ines they can look kick arse lowered as fuck on some wide rims

and for $2600 i reckon thats a steal

I like it, its so rare in nz! PLus ive seen on a horopito car paddock thread somewhere there is a rusted out coupe with the rounds tailights and panel you could use to swap over to this one later if you pleased. or Dan could find what ya need in japan

If you like it Hayden, then that is all that matters, it is still a rare Datsun here, and a manual !!

Just be aware that someone already bought this car and did not take it because it had rust in the sills.

These are also notorious for rust in the front strut towers. I have tried asking the owner to post pics of the rust BUT he either does not answer the question on the auction OR answers by posting questions on my auctions (so no one can see my question on his auction.)

This is a good sign that he is avoiding putting the pics up and it must be for a reason. Be weary, and unless you see those pics I would not but sight unseen.

Phat!!!! - good buy, but agree with the others on taillights and checking of the rust - be awesome with a RB or VG.
