Description
Datsun PL521 1600cc pickup 1969 ½
Rare 1969 ½ model manufacturer in December, 1969. First licensed in California in 1970. Rare round side fender circular reflectors that preceded the rectangular running lights in later models.
I am the second owner. I bought this truck in 1972 with 40k miles. I drove it (mostly freeway) for 200k miles, then replaced the engine with a Japanese surplus engine in 1978. The current engine has 200k miles. The original engine was in good running condition when I replaced it. On that engine I installed a Hooker Header. The original (spare) engine comes with the truck.
Original transmission and differential in good condition.
Runs great. Meticulously maintained. I have invested over $8k in the restoration: new brake system, tires, upholstery, patina gloss coat restoration, carburetor, etc. Lots of extras: engine, spare wheels, original radio, 2 hoods, a grill, etc.
Mostly original throughout.
This truck was my first and has much sentimental value. Difficult decision to sell it, but with 6 other pickups it’s time to pass it along to a Datsun lover who will appreciate what I have preserved.
