"POA"...I'm scared to know what the price is, but man, what a piece of machinery. The Nissan GTP series cars are my favorites of all time.
Just wow!

Dunno about the black, I don't remember seeing it in the series when it was running in any case.
...must be from the period mentioned in the add when Jim Oppenheimer / RM Motorsport owned it and rebuilt it perhaps?

It is built from spares and it is a fantastic deal at the asking price, which will probably be selling price. Maintenence is certainly an issue and a car like that takes a bit of prowess to drive, but aside from that you could not build it for the price. I believe they would take, in code, 10 times a woman's last known age.

Interesting statement Johan because about 10 years ago I purchased a sandrail with a turbo 13b rotary which had this wicked sounding ball bearing turbo proportedly straight off these Nissan GTP cars. The engine builder here in Southern California had some relationship with Nissan and grabbed a couple two or three of them in the late 90's and tuned this one rotary motor to them. He always told me to be careful with it 'cuz there ain't no more'. It lasted a couple of seasons and when it finally let go it was impossible to find another one, even used. I had to replace it with something else, it never ran the same again.
The turbos sounded like no other, they would wind down after shutting off the motor like turbines on a commercial airlner. The sound alone would draw the attention of anyone within earshot. They were also unique in how small they were, they would "spool" up in an instant and provide boost (20lbs) with very little lag, great for a rotary motor that doesn't get torque until higher in the rpm range. I can't imagine how amazing these GTP cars with twin turbos were.

I'm thinking the Crawford DP03 is the bargain.
