Duncan Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Here's my old Coupe I sold after I got the Sunny. I miss the Coupe and really miss the dog.. Been keeping my eye out for another Coupe in decent shape, but they are in pretty short supply these days.. 4 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 No one ever says they miss the ex wife.. But we always miss the car and the dog. Nothing better than crusing with a dog in a datsun.... 2 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 1200 Sedan, my first love. Didn't have a dog back then, now I got 4 (dogs and Datsuns). 2 Quote Link to comment

I can relate, Bro! I paid $1000 for that Coupe. Drove it daily for three years, and the only time it broke down on me was when the fuel line clogged up. 100lbs of compressed air fixed that, and drove it two more years until I sold it.

KELMO Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 I was 18 or19 (ish) without a penny in savings and my Honda 550Four crapped the bed. Worked at a Mercedes dealer and it was on the back lot. $300.00 +TTL and they took $50.00 per pay check until it was paid off. Drove for 3-5 years and sold it to a buddy of mine for $50.00. He found the coupe body, transferred the power train and drove it for 2-3 years. Would have been '93 or 95 when he parked it. Fast forward to 2005, he asked me if I wanted it. Dumb question. Towed it home, hooked up a battery, our some gas down it's throat, boom started. Now in 2018 it is the grey coupe. So, technically, the same car (mostly) that I had first purchased. 2 Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 And that is why I have them on both cars.(imagine proper emoji here) The 14's on that car I have had so long I can't remember where they came from. The 12's on the green car I got from Morrisun. (98% sure about that) Quote Link to comment
Morrisun Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) [ 1st Annual Datsun Garage New Years Day Cruise Stopping for race gas fill-up, for the 510! It was a bit on the cool side, all of us running sidedrafts without water heated manifolds, my SU's were not too happy, but still good fun. Fog but no rain! Talk is of doing this each New Years Day... weather permitting, it is southwest Washington! Edited January 6, 2019 by Morrisun 1 Quote Link to comment

EDM620 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Here's an old 1200 that my buddy used to road race with, later on was used for Solo2 (autocross) racing. OMG the car was so light and nimble, a set of race slicks lasted a long time. Last I heard about the car, the next owner still had it. Quote Link to comment

graveltrapp Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Not sure why it let me post the first picture but then showed a link for the second? I have always had problems sharing pics on Ratsun. otherwise I would share lots more. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I use Imgur. Load your pics, before you load resize to message board size. Then go to your images, pick one and hit the BBC code to copy and paste into your response. It works well for this old guy (OG?). There are other ways but I find this to be the easiest. Now, git off my lawn. Quote Link to comment

Ah got it. I tried to buy one just like this from a guy in Beaverton. It didn't work out.. but it was a nice car. A14 60A 5 speed. It needed some work, but it was a great car. Quote Link to comment
