The latter point doesn't matter to anyone in their right mind - it looks clean and near-stock, aside from the Watanabes - but it seems to me that only a collector is likely to pay that kind of dough, and... well... they care.
It's no crack hit, but I can't call it a Nice Price, either.

Then I looked at the title again. It IS a total ricer.
In all honesty, it looks really nice from the outside... However, that is a bit too much for something like that.

Now, Dear Graverobber, we need more fins in these NPOCP entries.

If I want something that looks like an old Peugeot, I'll just get an old Peugeot.

Still, for $20K, I agree with you. I'd rather spend $15 grand building a 13B-powered 510 and hold on to the other $5K for the inevitably large amounts of whiskey and psychiatric care that such a build requires.

Alas, I painfully press the crack pipe button.

Unless you're a really, really, really big fan of ancient Japanese steel, pass the pipe.

Use reverse.

I got yelled at for that. They wouldn't take my order and threatened to call the cops. For the record, I was like 32 at the time and did it because my wife (at the time) couldn't make up her mind. I figured that way she could confuse the guy herself and I needn't get involved.

That's hilarious.
I can hear the 9-1-1 call, now.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"Um, yeah, I work at the fast-food joint and a guy backed through the drive-thru..."
"Again, what's your emergency?"
"Well, this guy backed through the drive-thru..."

Too much money for an inauthentic and none too attractive show-not-go coupe. For $10k, it would be an interesting curio. There were better looking Nissan/Datsun coupes even in 1970 (not the least, of course, being the 240Z). For instance, there was the Laurel 2-door hardtop, which looked like an enlarged and sleeked-out 510. Much better looking than this Skyline which looks more like 1964 than 1970.

...if the seller gets that rust taken care of.

As much as a pretty-authentic-if-you-don't-look-too-close, replica of a car nobody in the UK knows anything about anyway appeals to me, which it does, a lot, and for sheer rarity value, i'd be tempted to go Nice Price.However, I can't grasp the concept of swapping twenty thousand of my dollars for it. Crackety pipety.

Pushing 40 years old, a pretender to a performance spec that it doesn't actually achieve, right-hand-drive so my ambidextrous spouse can more easily smash it into things, and just to make sure it's completely RCH (restomod car hell), it's JDM! "You want parts for a what? From when?"
For $20,000? No possible way.
Can I vote Crack Pipe again?

I'll vote Crack Pipe again for you.

I might be projecting, there. But still.
