Nah, this was basically made in a shed, and what was made in a shed can be restored in a shed. And who would be able to tell whether the tailgate you made is perfectly original or not? My neighbor who builds hot rods in a shed in his backyard could fab up a tailgate for that thing in a couple of days. I doubt they…

The only person who should take this on has skills far beyond what the vehicle deserves - and I like old. Too much for too much.

It’s running and looks pretty nice for its advanced age. While I suspect there would be some sobbing when repairs reared their ugly heads that’s still a NP.

NP, but gahhh, the sea of cheap gray plastic. Also, you’d want to do something about that right side mirror.

LOVE me a Fiat - but in no way shape or form is this worth even half that. Mystery ugly box full of potential heartbreak. Plus it looks like paint over rust to add to its garden of earthly delights.

If you knowingly buy a fake Rolex for one-fifth the price of a real Rolex, you’re still a sucker. ND.

SMOD was only on 2nd gen autos. This is a 1st gen manual.

It is a pinch too high for me for any ‘ol Xterra, but, for me, it ticks all my wishlist boxes:
Green
Manual
Supercharged (which gives it enough power, but dismal MPG, much like all Nissan trucks/SUVs)

The brush guard may have to go, as it just looks like a damage…

My guess is, that fuel pump went or was on it’s way out the door, and it’s way easier to sell a running car than a non-running one. Add in the glow plugs (not really up on diesels, but maybe you do that at the same time as a pump normally, or maybe after 184k miles, they were on their last legs as well?), the cost of…

Sorry but even if it were 100% new it is an UGLY looking car. That convertible top looks like trash bags taped together. ND

“If you guys don’t buy it I’ll restore it myself! ...I’m not kidding here! ...I’ve got parts coming and there’s a wrench in my hand! ...You’ll all be sorry when it’s all fixed up and you didn’t buy it when you had the chance! ...Okay I’m lowering the price $3500 but that’s it! ...I just tracked my order and those…

Half the space in your garage???

Families who have vacation houses by the shore buy these, clean them up and use them as literal “beach wagons” in the summer. They’re fun and they draw a lot of smiles.

I like it, if you break it down into price per passenger vs 2 seat and 4 seat options the deal seems better.  Hop in my Chrysler (product) its as big as a whale and about to set sail.  Nice Price

Not to me, but some dudebruh who wears gym shorts and trainers year-round will pay that price for it. This is priced within poseur-mobile territory and will soon be wearing fake “M” badges.

This is a No Dice, but not because of the engine swap.

Oh my sweet innocent child. Where have you been the past 4 years?

The owner’s too embarrassed to hang the fuzzy dice from the mirror, but not embarrassed enough to take them out of the car.

That photo taken at a coastal highway utilizing the S-curve and the Rule of Thirds for the photo’s composition is truly terrific. The light illuminating the car while it’s surrounded by shadows—the photographer needs to take a bow—he hit that one out of the ballpark.

I’d rather take a limo, ride in the back.

I’d have to see it person, but what is shown looks like it would be an excellent donor car. Even if you only got the wheels and front clip, you made your money back.
