NMNA - Challenge-priced Skyline?

It's a roller, but this ad has been up for several weeks & the price keeps dropping.

LS 4.8, turbo, and a T10. Thats what I'd do.

Surely you can get this to ohio for me, right?

I wish I had a tow rig again! Though in all honesty it's probably safer that I don't...

WOW! AND RHD

Hell, Biloxi is what? 1 mile from Gulfport? You could push it by hand....I mean you've pushed that c4 in and out of your garage that far!

In reply to Ovid_and_Flem:

4.5 miles to the city limit of the Biloxi/Gulfport line...but the Skyline is in Gulf Shores per the ad. That's a bit too far to walk/swim.

I forwarded this to a buddy who has talked more than a few times about swapping all his 240sx stuff into a skyline or doing a skyline swap.

His 240 is an excellently done "ls6" swap...

To each his own, but I dont see the appeal of RHD...once the novelty wears off, youre just sitting in a car with the shifter on the wrong side, and youll have to walk around the car twice because youll try to get into the "passenger side" every time you walk out to it.

Since the drivetrain and the front end would both be aftermarket this thing is going to be a surgical patient. If it were a survivor or complete, I might feel differently, but as is, I wouldnt at all feel bad about swapping a LHD interior into it a few days after the modern V8 was installed.

I suspect there was a hint of sarcasm there, as most, if not all skylines are rhd.

It's not RHD, it's a postal Skyline.

Lmao! "Hauling the mail" indeed!!!

Wasn't Stan_D building one because he couldn't find one reasonably enough?

There are a few poking around in SE ohio these days too. One was chasing me on the freeway several month back

I should have contacted the seller first and asked for a cut! That thing had seriously been listed for about a month.

There is a nice black one in the subdivision nearest me, he dips ice cream at Dietsch Brothers.

Yeah, but with this you could also be the coolest rural mail carrier in the US!

How much was the seller asking?
