This custom Datsun has been one of my favorite Hot Rods. 

It has outstanding all around performance.  Quarter mile, slalom & top speed are all very impressive.  Fuel economy is also an impressive 20+ mpg during highway travel.


The body lines are reminiscent of a classic Jaguar XKE or Ferrari 275GTB.

The Corvette white paint keeps the car subtle, while adding a touch of class.

Best of all is the look on peoples faces, when they find out this car doesn't burn rice..........
