I follow BAT daily. Always interesting cars coming up. Most of the Z's have issues, with a select few that are really special and typically very original which have sold for 40 to 50K

What's going on with the shifter placement on this one?

It's talked about in the BaT comments but nobody seems sure.  It's a 5 speed from a different car, origin unknown.

Looks like a "71C" transmsission.  You can tell by the size of the tail opening.  Could be from a 240SX or a 300ZX or a later model truck.  It's not from an S30 though.

$27,000 for a resto-mod.

Seller claims the trans is a “Datsun shorty 5 speed” out of a 620. No explanation why they chose it. Also states a round hole was cut to allow for shift lever. Also you can see that an aftermarket fuse panel was added. Who knows what the wire harness looks like.

Why go to the effort??????

Seems like a bad choice.

I've heard of those but never seen one.  Explains maybe why the transmission mount fits.  The typical 71C swap needs a modified mount.

You can see where they extended the original transmission cross member to move it forward a bit.
Google Datsun shorty 5 speed and there is s post out there shows 5 different 5 speeds
