Sometimes our internet searches bear fruit, and sometimes our tippers do all the work for us
. Take this next example: a former magazine car, owned and built by a friend of DT "back in the day," subsequently changed hands several times - including to the tipper/reader who sent us the ad link. The car in question is a B13 Sentra SE-R, one of the great sport compacts of the '90s and subject of many Sport Compact Car magazine articles written by former Geek-at-Large Dave Coleman, who says: "
Subcompact car? Oh, so sad... Front end has been changed since someone hit a deer or something (saw pics of that on Jalopnik a few years ago), but that's the car. Recognize the one-of-one strut tower brace." Find this
1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R for sale in Stratford, CT for $5,300 via craigslist.
Tip from Cory.
If you are at all a fan of the 24 Hours of LeMons, you must be familiar with the name Eyesore racing -- this is the (only) team to win the trip to LeMans (in France) after winning the LeMons (the $500 junker race series). If you are a DT Radio fan, you might have heard legendary Sport Compact Car Editor Dave Coleman talk about the origins of the Eyesore name...and here is your chance to buy the original Eyesore in the rusty flesh. Find this 1971 Datsun 510 here on eBay bidding for $2,700 with 7 days to go, located in Long Beach, CA.
