I didn't see the Craigslist ad, I was just driving by the car and took my own pictures :-)

Looks like a good start. A quick look at the cage shows it needs some work before it could be entered in Lemons.  The main diagonal in the main hoop has to be continuous from top to bottom, this one looks like it was cut at some point? Also, the rear diagonal supports from the main hoop have to attach directly to the chassis, as opposed to getting attached to the horizontal tube between the strut towers.

It would likely be a great starter for the next up and coming drifter bro too.

You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil

But I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Yeah I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
Yeah I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs

But I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Hit like a Phillips head into my brain
It's gonna be too dark to sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains
I'm gonna…

This goes off in my head when I see a rusty cage.

84 Nissan 200 huh?  Don't think so.

 

This is a great start to a cheap car racer.

VIN decodes to a '91 240SX (I got a picture of the VIN plate when I stopped by to look around the car)
