500hp Twin-Turbo LS-Swapped 1969 Datsun Sport
This unique build by Anthony Palladino combines the classic styling of a 1969 Datsun Sport 2000 with the performance underpinnings of a C5 Corvette. The project entails a homemade widebody kit and a potent twin-turbo LS1 engine producing 500 horsepower. Key modifications include a frame using C5 Corvette cradles, a Liberty's Gears rebuilt six-speed transaxle, and custom coil-over suspension from Penske. Notably, the car also features a distinctive hand-crafted widebody and rough 'Dirty Datsun' aesthetic.
