Just drop an MGB engine into a Datsun 510.  Voila, instant Marina.


Well, okay, only sorta.  How to build other ersatz LBCs:

Take a 240Z, remove half the bolts on the rear suspension and loosen
the rest, throw away the A/C, block 5th gear with a welder and poke
two holes oil sump with an ice pick.  Result:  A GT6.

Take a vintage Mustang, tear off the chrome, re-do the interior
in wool and leather and slap a $5000 paint job on it.  Result:
Aston Martin Volante.

Take a Herald, put a stage II Spitfire engine in it, then run a monster
truck over the bonnet.  Result:  Sunbeam Alpine.

Any other ersatz LBC ideas?
