I've never seen one of these ever, and they say it's a 1971!? More like a '61 maybe..

wow all these older datsuns popping out of the woodwork this month.

[denveratsun]

That is the coolest thing I have seen in months!:eek:

 

Seriously!:cool:

[Duncan]

I need to find photos, but I have seen a NL320 extended cab that was in Australia. THAT was ridiculously cool, IMHO.

[oldsklminitrk]

Ive already hit the guy up about shipping it to the US....no reply yet.....

[Rubberman]

That thing is cool and it comes with a stripper pole in it.

Huh I thought that sold two weeks ago?

[Jester]

Add says he relisted. I'm watching it. Wish I could afford to buy it and trailer it home. That would be REALLY cool in my book.

[Steroid]

OK. How rare are those? I don't ever remember seeing one, or discussion of one, on either forum. Where is the world would You ever locate that tailgate/liftgate? Are there more of these around? Any of You ever even seen one? I, personally, have not. Very interesting project.

[Jester]

I was thinking a person could probably take a NL gate and make it work. More than likely it would need mods to fit.....sounds like fun to me.

[Steroid]

I wanted to tell You guys that I am going to bid on this. I have a friend that is interested in the two day trip up and back to go get, if I am the successful bidder. Wish Me luck. Any of You that have any of the parts I might need to restore it, please let me know. Mark says that the taillights look very close to NLs. I also will need a grille and that rear tailgate. Any of You with an extra NL tailgate??I also would want to get 4 correct hubcaps. Mark has 2 but they need work. I would try to keep it as complete as a stock restoration so whatever imput You guys have, I would appreciate.

 

This vehicle is very much outside the realm of the 620s that I usually build, but I see the importance in saving it from either the crusher or just rusting away. I am very suprized that He relisted it and it didn't get hauled of to a wrecking yard. I may never even start it, but at least it will be saved and in a dry climate.

[Steroid]

I will now NOT be bidding on this. It looks as though someone appreciates it. Maybe one day it will be at a show like JCCS totally restored. What a cool, rare and historic vehicle!!!
