This is old.  Been posted enough times.

Old and it's a janky SR swap. Great body work, but shit was rubbing an clunking like it's falling apart. Embarrassing 

[mrbigtanker]

Ive seen it up close and it’s cool. I will give it that. He did tell me it was worth 80,000.00 and I told him don’t do drugs son.

I appraised my 1200 coupe at 80,000,000 ???

 

Anyone else want to name a number value nowhere near reality for their car?

[racerx]

Wtf, 80k!

Dollars spent DOES NOT equal worth. Worth is the number on the check when you sell it.

That truck could built for somewhere in the low to mid $20's.  That also includes the price of a landed truck from Australia.  As I recall, the body kit was insanely expensive, and may not be available anymore. 

 

I'm surprised Jay Leno could even fit in that truck to drive it.

I love Datsuns but they are not worth that much. Seattle Craiglist are full of junk for 5k and with no motor WTF. Really. just wait till thay have to leave that rental house it will be 500$

$

 

[Mattndew76]

That body kit is $9000 and its still available.

[paradime]

For $9K I'd get a second Ute. 

[datzenmike]

I don't see the appeal of that or any body kit. It demeans both vehicles and is embarrassment to be seen in. Get the real thing or go home.

[paradime]

Yeah, unless it's a really REALLY cool body kit.

I can appreciate cars that have subtle changes that actually compliment the car.

 

kits really seem to take away rather than add to the visual. 

[paradime]

Really depends on the car and the kit.

 

 

[paradime]

The auto industry has adopted the body kit/ground effects look, so much so cars come stock with what's looks like a body kit.

My '69 Charger had a raised 'lip' on the back end of the trunk lid so an added spoiler (allowable for NASCAR) would sit higher than a competition. Many cars come with spoilers that cannot possibly be useful. My '70 Dart came with factory hood pins. Not only not needed but a PITA every time you wanted under the hood.
