Sloppy Seconds from Peter North's Fairlady

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...f075aace#v4-38

Disproving that sports cars could be compensating for anything.

Bidding's at $9800 as I post this.

I have no affiliation with the seller. Unfortunately.

This car seems to be biased a bit more toward straight line performance, especially with a 4000rpm stall converter. For straight line stuff autos have a few advantages, namely consistency.


Also, this Peter North guy seemed to have some fame associated with him. From my Google searches he does appear to be somewhat of a "legend"... search with caution (and not at work).

Listed with 15k miles but speedo reads 212k miles. That's reassuring.
