ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Damn the 810 coupes are popping up everywhere but there mostly in this shape. Technically the 810 coupe is called (810 hardtop), under the vinyl top is were most of rust must be.

captaingamez Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Technically it isnt a hard top, even though it is for all intents and purposes. A true "Hard Top" doesnt have a "B" pillar. Its still a hardtop to me, but Im just saying, for political correctness and whatnot. Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 My 810 service repair manual has the 810 coupe as a "hardtop". Quote Link to comment
hovdat Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Just wanted to bring it to 810 folks' attention since there was no model listed.... y'all have fun. Me, I'm back to my '77 620 KC restore.... 2 Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Man your the 810 scrapper lol. Well if you find a clean 810 coupe let me know! I will.But even around here they've dried up.Last two were 'Goons.The Coupe,i had to go to Phoenix for. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 But the 810 coupe doesn't have a b-pillar?!? Really? Well what do you call that thing in front of the rear side windows, and behind the rear roll down windows? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Really? Well what do you call that thing in front of the rear side windows, and behind the rear roll down windows? I call it a C-pillar. Because that's what is is. :rofl: So any hardtop with a window in the C-pillar is now not a hardtop? :confused: And I guess that means the B210 and B310 hatchbacks have an A-pillar, a B-pillar, a C-pillar, and a D-pillar? ^_^ Quote Link to comment

It's already hard enough to see the ones on CL that need tons of work and it's hard not to just wanna buy it to save it! Once I'm done paying this debt I'm down to really start looking!

Normally it is an uninterrupted piece of metal in between two pieces of glass with bracing for the roof. (FYI, Yes a separation in a split rear window is also a pillar.) Really didnt want to drag on a conversation on what a hardtop actually is. Just saying in passing. They are still hardtops because the rear window rolls down uninterrupted from the front. But they have 6 pillars total, 3 per side. Its pretty damn cool that they are a 3 pillar hardtop imho. Since I have never been in a B210 hatch back, I am going off of assumption here, but if that small black piece in the back between those two pieces of glass has any support member for the roof inside of or behind it, then yes, actually B210 do have an A, B, C, and D pillar.

captaingamez Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 That first one looks like a decent deal at $1400 maybe. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 That first one looks like a decent deal at $1400 maybe. Yeah that one is pretty decent it doesn't look all rusted or beaten up like the others I've seen. Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Well the 810 is down for now head gasket and pretty much every gasket are bad I been throwing the air to either rebuilt the L24E or go down another route. If I keep the L24E or if I find a cheap L28 I might go for some upgrades nothing too special or if I chose to go to another route I might go RB but in all seriousness I would need to do rack and pinion and steering column no way even a L28ET would fit without doing this even less an RB. Obviously I wanna have it ready and running by the time Canby comes by! 1 Quote Link to comment
charolastra Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hey guys, i dont own a 810 but Im trying to buy the one from wisconsin for $1400, but i have some questions. What do you guys think of that car? I meant the price, the owner said needs a fuel pump and some bodywork. Should I pay what he is asking? Or should i make some lower offer? Im from chicago and the car is located 6-7 hrs from me, so i wanna make an offer before i go and dont waste my time. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment

Im from chicago and the car is located 6-7 hrs from me, so i wanna make an offer before i go and dont waste my time. Thanks for your help First things first Datsun 810 Coupe (Hardtop) very hard to find parts for but not impossible but very close. What I seen in the pictures car looks pretty straight besides obvious body work that it needs and the price isn't a bad price me honestly wouldn't pay $1400 since it's primered but interior looks decent I think anything $1000 or below is fair price they just don't bring much value sadly since there's not many around and there not common cars to come across. Just remember "rare doesn't make it worth more" so if the owner try's that line then why hasn't it been sold already. If the car was a lot closer to me I would have tried my best efforts to buy it! Best of luck and make sure to give it a good test drive and inspect it for rust since there known to rust pretty badly. 1 Quote Link to comment
charolastra Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Fuck it, im gonna offer $1000-1100 if the car runs good, I think rock auto have most of the parts, but yeah body parts are very hard to find. Let see what happen, he posted the car on cl for like a month, if he needs money he is gonna take my cash Quote Link to comment
