I put cool for this. Nice looking car that I am very surprised has never been polled on here. The first in a long line of Silvias, which tend to be pretty well-known Japanese coupes, nothing like Supras or RX-7s of course, but I see talk of the S14s and S15s here pretty regularly, so I'm surprised that their great-granddad has never been asked about. I honestly like the looks of this one more than some of the more famous later Silvias.
 
Small, light, two doors, rear wheel drive, 4-speed manual... Yep. It's Cool in my book. I doubt I would even be able to fit in one, but I bet it's tons of fun on mountain roads even in stock form.
 
Cute yet stylish little coupe 👍

It does however look like it's lost about 6 inches from its wheelbase due to being cut and shut. In my eyes it would have looked better like this:
