78 620 Ratsun

[420n620]

a couple of days ago I was out test driving one my vehicles (a non datsun) in the Clarkston heights to make sure it was in good running condition.

Ususally, when I go driving around, I tend to search for other datsuns in peoples back yards, behind fences, hill sides and so on.

Well anyway, I noticed a white 620 datsun in my search and thought, its just another 620 sitting around waiting to become a project or their parting it out, well after looking at it, this 620 had something a little differant then any other 620 that I've seen before.

I'm going to let the pic's tell the rest of the story because all I can tell you is the guy didn't want to sell it and he got it from tri-cities from a friend. Hoping someone can shed some light on this 620.

The truck was set up for a small block chevy and thats the plans the new owner has also.

That looks familiar. I've seen a picture of it long ago... maybe NWDE???

I would have thought someone on here would have known something more about this 620.

the plates were issued before 2001 and ratsun.net was on the web in early 2007.

I guess who ever build this Ratsun 620 together,, doesn't want to admit to it.

wtf, thats my uncles old truck he built back in the mid 80's, glad to see its not crushed, he has some pics of it, idk where though

[420n620]

get hold of your uncle and see if he's got any old pic's of it. The owner said the PO use to race around the Seattle area or the Tri-Cities.

 

 

some racing pic's would be great to see, also see if your uncle can remember what he's time was throught the 1/4.
