Default If I were to get a Skyline, this would be it!

Anyone know the year of this? I think its early 80's but I've never seen it in a fastback
(edit: just found it is a '72-'77 Skyline)
(borrowed from HT)









More of the 1968-1972 Skyline FTW!

its weird because the front end of it is from 1980's skylines and the rear window where it curves up a bit looks like the 1970's one but is a bit different angle then the ones i've seen. So yeah 1970's - 80's skyline would b my geuss

^LOL, would you insure me?

Datsun 510 is a hawt car but I would still choose the '68 skyline.
I've been watching this 510 on ebay with an SR20DE in it going for $6500 but the reserve has not been met. The nice thing about the 510 is that you can use the rear differential from a Suby and it will bolt right in.

+1 for the 510 and if those are PS'ed those are pretty damn good looking regardless.
