I'm not sure if this counts, so I'm putting it in off topic.
Last year I acquired two 1976 B210 coupes for almost nothing ($50 for one of them, the other was given to me) same butterscotch yellow color, one had a bad engine but a good body, decent interior (minor dings, crack in the dash) the other had a bad body but a decent engine (only 89k miles, too). Both A14s. Did some cleaning up on the working engine, and swapped them. Tore all the light assemblies out for spares. After that the other was too far gone to be of any use. Not much of a body was left due to rust, and most of the normally salvagable parts were just junk.
Anyhow, it still has all the original Nissan carpeting and floor mats, and door panels are in perfect condition. It even still has the original manuals in the glove compartment, and had the original radio too, but it wasn't working.
Anyway, after a few issues with the exhaust system (which was more far gone than I realized) falling off, I got it up and running. Currently waiting on a new gas tank as the one I have has some severe rust issues. After that, I'm painting it (original color) and hopefully posting some photos up here. It's definitely not as nice as most of what's posted here, but I'm pretty proud of it.
