This was in an old 70s book called "Petersen's Big Book of Datsun". It had alot of these type of concept drawings, but I thought this one would interest you most...

It is an active racing car, and looks great in person. The work is mostly fiberglass, but the bit of filler around the taillights is not finished to Concours condition.

That blue car actually looks better in person. Saw it up close at canby '06. The paint has alot of problems, but with a little work it could be pretty sweet.

I love the inclusion of the Le Mans filler cap on the car in the drawing.

Yeah, it is. I've been thinking about something like that on my 1200, then running a pipe from it to a fuel cell in the spare tire well.
