Nissan Sportbak! Austin - NMNA

I've been trolling for a flipper and ran across this.

I know these don't interest normal people, so not really ideal for me right now but I figured I'd post it here. 

Well is it a wagon?!?

In reply to Robbie :

Sport back

I wondered what happened to that thing. Was semi-interested in it over a year ago where it kept getting relisted on Dallas's CL, but the stars weren't lining up to head down there to snag it. Couldn't find it on CL for months now.  Price is really too good to pass up, IMO.  

In reply to Indy-Barely Functional-Guy :

I think he means in regards to Challenge classification.  

They're too quirky to let it get parted out. I hope someone saves it. 

I'm so overstocked on project cars right now, I'll never get to them all.  

But i have been jonesing for a fly and drive for a while, and this has Mini Epic Road Trip written all over it. 

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a good candidate for that. 

Unless you secretly have your own Roadkill type show and a camera crew to follow you. LOL

I'm gonna save my food stamps and burn down the trailer park. 

Seriously the living arrangement search is resembling 'Single White Female' requirements and with three different vehicles and a YMCA membership I could pull off being homeless and take a week off work to go down there and drag this home.  

You know, I've always loved these, and known of them basically since they were new. But it hit me, looking at this ad, that I've never seen one with the hatch open. I always assumed there was a kind of small flip-up tailgate at the rear. But no, the whole sportbak opens.

Mind: Blown.

They're so 80's it hurts! But not in the emerging STD kind of way like so many other 80's vehicles. 

In reply to Crackers :

It was running fairly well for the first year he listed it. I'm really not too concerned; RK makes most of their own automotive drama in-house. 

Perfect candidate for the VQ35 in my garage. 

If you squint just so...

I’d read those articles!

I want to put Pulsar GTiR running gear under one of these pretty badly.

Hmm... If we bought this, I wonder if we could "store" it at the Deuce estate for a bit...   

In reply to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :

I literally came here to say this. 

I would definitely welcome this into the wagon sub-class this year. And it definitely needs Tom's VQ swapped in.

Guys.
