slam_dat_sun Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) Hi I have a 1974 datsun 620, it is a factory automatic and dealer add on air conditioning . It is kinda rough but it only shows 60,000 mile , could be actual miles. I gave a 15 year old kid $650 for it , and he got it from his granddad so its pretty much a one owner pickup. However it was a wiring nightmare, it looked like a bird nest under the hood . the great part about that is it went straight to the shop , I was going to half ass it just to get to drive it but i didn't. Well ok I did , I put it in the shop they did what i told them to just so I could drive it down the road and back to the shop. the first trip to the shop cost me $340. When i took it back the 2nd time I told them make it 100% road worthy. I didn't realize that would cost $755 more , but who cares it is my lil datsun . My wife was upset about it but she knows what it means to me and she is supportive about it. After all I only sold a perfectly good 2002 ford ranger to buy it :eek: , so I upgraded don't ya think :lol: . Well needless to say my 620 run like a brand new one , my wife's face lit up when she heard me fire it up. Ok so here are the mods i am going to do to it old school slam it for now , fully bag it later , body drop it , shave everything , put a full fiberglass camper shell on it , make it a walk through , 18" center line smoothies , suicide doors and a whole lot more little things . Thanks to all for reading my threadz Daniel ps: thank you dat620 for your help;) http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3930/img00983.jpg:D Edited April 26, 2009 by slam_dat_sun add pictures Quote Link to comment
