" Classic Datsuns like the 510 and the 240Z are road-racing legends, but they also make great off-road racers too. The 240Z actually won the East African Safari rally in 1971 and 1973,\u00A0and some of Datsun&amp;#039;s sedans raced there\u00A0as well. This 1971\u00A01600 SSS, a non-U.S. market performance version of the 510, has been modified with inspiration from the rally cars, and it cries out to be driven hard on dirt.  It&amp;#039;s currently listed for auction on Bring a Trailer with a little under five days of bidding left as of the time of writing. It was recently imported to the U.S. from Portugal and\u00A0undergone a generous freshening up. Paint has been resprayed in its original (fantastic) shade of brown, and the car sits on rally tires with black\u00A0Minilite-style wheels. Raised suspension, a\u00A0front skid\u00A0plate,\u00A0and rear tow-hooks complete the rally-ready package.  The auction listing says\u00A0the body is mostly\u00A0rust free,\u00A0and that the interior is all original and in good shape. Under the hood, the 109-hp\u00A01.6-liter inline-four is also\u00A0said to be original, sending\u00A0power through a stock four-speed gearbox.  This really is\u00A0the perfect classic car for someone who just wants something that&amp;#039;s different. It&amp;#039;s a Japanese car that was never sold in the U.S. and that\u00A0has\u00A0been turned into a quasi-rally car. Even among early-1970s Datsuns, this is fairly unusual. Put another way, you&amp;#039;re not likely to see anything like this at your next Cars &amp;amp;amp; Coffee.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
