RedBanner Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I keep hearing, preproduction this, and rare that, its a sedan... had big ass bumpers... not preproductionn. Lets stop calling it that. Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 With 13.5:1 compression you could only drive it far enough to make it back to the 55 gallon VP barrel in your garage,, cuz where you gonna get fuel on the road?? If you cant drive it ,, it doesn`t matter how cool it is , you might as well be a corvette owner..Hey i gotta cool car in my garage and i have only driven it 1000 miles in the 10 years i`ve owned it............ollz in real life.

Radim Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yeh, Sorry.... but all the rich people with Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and built custom cars need race fuel from the pump.... Link to comment
lostforawhile Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I keep hearing, preproduction this, and rare that, its a sedan... had big ass bumpers... not preproductionn. Lets stop calling it that. it was brought back from a shell,it says it was an SCCA car for a while too, the bumpers went on possibly later, that school started in 68, and a lot of famous people drove there, there's no telling who drove those five cars, it's just cool is all, if I had the dough I would love to own it Link to comment

Z-train Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I keep hearing, preproduction this, and rare that, its a sedan... had big ass bumpers... not preproductionn. Lets stop calling it that.Exactly-If it were pre-production it wouldn't have a PRODUCTION VIN! Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 and a lot of famous people drove there, there's no telling who drove those five cars Exactly. You'd never be able to find out who actually drove it over the years. Hearsay is worthless... Unless there's some sort of certified log book or celebrities are coming forward to confirm they drove that specific car, then you got nothing. It's a cool race car, but not for that price.

Jdm720 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Well..... Here in Orange County, California we have VP 101 Octane at the pump.... :) Where..? :confused: Link to comment

Jdm720 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 They are all over Cali. There are VP fuel stations some 76 stations you could prob google it I may have heard that a while back, but I guess I never really paid attention since I don't need it.. Interesting Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I only know because I've used in in my dirt bike a few times. And some of the guys here in SoCal with SR20 (fully built) swaps run it also and all the rich pricks wth bad ass sand rails Link to comment

It's a cool race car, but not for that price. there might be a lot of info available in the schools history on it, the VIN is like 26, it says Datsun donated the cars to them before they became available to the general public, probably in stock form, then they were converted to race use at the school, there is probably a lot more documentation then what they list in the ad Link to comment
sick620 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 go to 3:11 sorry but 20k for a DATSUN that is driven hard like this?? LOL Link to comment
