Datsuns

We had one when I was a kid back in the 70's!
I would like to pick up a Z if a deal comes along some day. "thumbsup"
 
My dad has a 74 260Z...always wanted to get one and make it pretty wild with a turbo and such. Just no time/money currently for that project.
 
I want a 510 and I want a BMW 2002, and time trial them two at Mid Ohio.
 
I had an 83 200SX which was WAY ahead of its time. Freaked people out when it talked. Also far faster than anyone thought it would be.
Also had a 10th anniversary black and gold 280. The rest were Nissans...
 
I had a 69 2 door w/L16 and Weber sidedrafts, a 72 4 door with 5 speed, L18, sidedrafts and east african safari suspension and 14 inch wheels, that baby loved to off road. Also ran an 69 L class 2 door in SCCA slaloms at Qualcomm stadium that my gf at the time dad owned.
 
My neighbor has a few :ror:

Miss my old bullet side pickup.:cry:Here's a pic of the day it went to the auction.Needed some work that I couldn't afford at the time.Transportation was a little more important.

My dad was a Datsun master mechanic. He still has a 240, 260 and a 280Z and my first car was a 1600 pickup. We put in a pumped up L20 motor with twin Mikunis and a 5-speed. That little truck embarrassed alot of V-8's light to light. Couldn't wait to get rid of it and now would love to have it back.
 
This ones mine, bought it 100% stock. Had 69k on it at the time, now has about 71k. Had for a year an 6 days. Ill post more details if anyones interested.

I've had 4 Z cars: 1976, 1981, 1982 GL, and my last one was a black cherry '83 280ZX Turbo 5-speed with factory black chrome. I sold it back in 2006 and I miss it still.
