Datsun Roadster with GSL-SE drivetrain $4,500 obo

**Sorry if I put this in the wrong place - put in 1st gen b/c has 1st gen drivetrain**

I just bought this car a couple of months ago, but I got a new job and will be moving and losing my garage for the foreseeable future. I was really looking forward to making improvements to this car and making it my own. In any case, I need to sell the car before I move.

It is a 1970 Datsun Roadster with a motor/trans/rear LSD swap from a 1984-85 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE. The engine is a healthy 13B rotary with sidedraft weber carbs. When I got the car, there was an oil leak from the pan, but I installed an oil pan brace which remedied this issue. The car is very fast (almost scary - a 13B with only 2000lbs to push around) and handles very well. The engine feels to be in great shape pulls very hard. The current seatbelts are 4-point racing harnesses and I can include a set of racing seats that came with the car in the sale.

In addition to the car I have the following parts to include:
-New set of swan neck mirrors for the front fenders
-New fairlady emblem for rear deck
-Racing seats pictured in car (miata seats are now installed)
-Set of bumpers that need rechroming for installation

I have upwards of $5,500 in the car and would love to get that back out of it but I need to sell the car quickly before I move. Because of this, I am listing it for $4,500 OBO
