1979 Datsun Pickup Gets Chopped and Bagged Like a Salad for $6,000!
1979 Datsun Pickup Gets Chopped and Bagged Like a Salad for $6,000!-July 2024

Do you like the limbo, snakes in the grass, and Datsun Pickups? Well, has something that's sure to blow your mind, and it'll be a low-blow too!

Despite concerns that it may be a hand grenade in Alpine white clothing, yesterday's drove home with a whopping 89% Nice Price vote before throwing a rod and requiring a million dollar engine rebuild. Just kidding about that last part, and hopefully that autobahn-burner finds a happy home. Now, we're going to look at a Datsun that goes down. All the way down.

The E34 M5 is a Q-ship, with basically only badging, valances and wheels to separate it visually…

There's a whole genre of car enthusiasts for which stock is toxic, and looking unfinished means you're done. Rat Rods were developed as kind of the anti-Foose, and much like Danish Modern furniture they exist as an attempt to create the purist expression of form following function. Well, okay, not so much like Danish Modern, but you get the idea.

From out of that mindset comes this which has been chopped, channeled, bagged and blasted to within an inch of its life. Claimed to top out at only 33" Verne Troyer could wizz in its window without so much as having to stand on tippy-toe. It's been slammed so hard that the L20 four banger sticks out of the engine bay like Betty Paige at a Promise Keepers retreat. Also shoving a bun above the beltline are the whitewalls which sit at a wonky negative camber when the body's hugging the ground.

Who could drive such a beast? Well, the seller claims to be six foot two and able to drive it just fine. He does warn about possible thumb injuries from returning all the Roman demonstrations of approval you would definitely receive while rocking the ride. Many of those might come from the readers of once the current issue hits the streets. This low boy merits a full spread as well as some NSFW hot rod girl boobage.

So, now you know the lowdown on the truck, but what about the price? Well, $6,000 is currently how low it will go, but you may be able to get him to drop that even further as he's open to trades and such.

But what if he isn't open to less? Is six-large low enough to make this a truck you'd be all over? Or is that price a low-down dirty shame?

You decide!

For $2,500, Is This 1991 VW Jetta VR6 A Steal, Or A Scam?
When you take a look at today’s Jetta you might be impressed by its overall condition, its BBS wheels, and its VR6 engine swap. You might then look at its price and wonder,what the hell’s going on here? Have you ever left the house wearing mismatched socks? Typically it’s not...

The 2018 Buick Regal TourX Is A Return Of The Classic American Family Car
The is the long-roofed wagon version of the Regal sedan, which makes it the first Buick wagon since the ’96 Roadmaster. You can’t order it with wood paneling, but the TourX is a damn decent comeback of the classic American family car. It’s the American competitor to the the likes...

Is This 1990 Range Rover 300Tdi Unique Enough To Command $21,500?
Is This 1990 Range Rover 300Tdi Unique Enough To Command $21,500?
The seller of today’s Range Rover Classic says it’s a unicorn owing to its diesel engine and manual transmission. Those are admirable features, but are they enough to justify its uncommon price? You know, when it comes to cars, rolling things is almost never a good idea. If you rollover...

This Is The Most Bonkers Excuse For Why A Dealer Won’t Send A Written Price Quote
This Is The Most Bonkers Excuse For Why A Dealer Won’t Send A Written Price Quote
I’ve brokered thousands of car deals and encountered all sorts of reasons why some dealers refuse to email price quotes. A reader recently reached out to me with one of my favorite bullshit excuses, however: dealers who claim emailed prices are illegal. I got an email from a reader who...

At $18,500, Could This 2010 Infiniti G37S Take You To Infinity And Beyond?
At $18,500, Could This 2010 Infiniti G37S Take You To Infinity And Beyond?
I highly recommend not messing with the seller of today’s G37, since it looks like he has an open gun case on the seat in one of the pics in his ad. That doesn’t mean we still can’t check out its price and see if he’s a straight shooter. Here’s...
