Do this thing only if you are comfortable with the idea that is an act of
nostalgia.

Under no circumstances is it economically feasible to sink $5k into this
relic. It is also unlikely that any Japanese quasi-sports car like this
will ever have more than token antique value. The only Japanese old car
that will likely have a significant following is the old Z's from
Datsun/Nissan, imho.

Otherwise, get your mind in a place where you can part with this car so that
it can rejoin the circle of life. Sheet metal never goes away forever; it
just gets freed up for some other purpose, just like our atoms after we
exceed our .
