Bob3 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Look what I scored today! 1967 411 wagon with 94,734 original miles from the original owner! It came with LOTS of spares too! Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Dang Bob! Nice find!!! Its so complete. Keeping it stock? Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Holy cow Bob!! Congrats! I'd say I have a disc brake kit for you, but somehow I doubt this will have a stock suspension :) Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I don't know what the keck I'm going to do with this thing. I check craigslist every morning and today this was on there. Now it's at my house! Quote Link to comment
gcmustang Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I don't know what the keck I'm going to do with this thing. I check craigslist every morning and today this was on there. Now it's at my house! Nice Score. I have a nice dash and other pieces from the goon I parted. Is the grill going on this one? Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Good score! The interior will clean up nicely, you can recover the bucket seats easily. The vinyl pattern is "Wallaby" as in kangaroo. The dash and front buckets are easily restored. I reupholstered my buckets 12 years ago and found that the original bucket seat foam, at that time 30 years old, was as good as new! JCWhitney sells a complete replacement rug set that is set up for the floor shift. It comes in 4 pieces [left front, right front, tunnel, rear floor] unlike the original but looks stock when installed. They also sell the grommets that you will need to snap the replacement rug set to the existing floor fasteners. The rugs have a fiber backing, but I put styrofoam padding under them for additional soundproofing and "cushey" feel, I got the padding from U-Haul, they sell it for padding china pieces. Those 4 front doors are pure gold given their condition, don't sell them too cheaply! 1 Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Bob they are breeding like crazy in your garage! Way to go man! Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Like I said earlier, my morning coffee always includes a local Datsun scan across the internet. It's like a treasure hunt every day. Fortunately I'm in a position where I can react quickly to anything I may find, like I did today. You know it's all your fault that I suffer from the Ratsun Obsession! You guys are all so passionate and knowledgeable that I feel comfortable that what ever I find someone on Ratsun will love it and someone else will know EVERYTHING about it! Thanks everyone for the comments. I truly have NO IDEA what I'm going to do with this bad boy. I haven't even looked to see what's inside yet. When I tied it on the trailer it looked very solid underneath. I'll get out there this weekend and check it out and let you know what I find. ;) Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 lol goin for a full set bob? i think this one should be a monster truck just to be different :P Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 My wife :angel: just named the 411. She said that 411 is the number for information, the original owner was a woman, so why not call it . . . . . "Miss Information":excl: What do you think of that? :) Quote Link to comment
WTFaNG Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 the collection is getting bigger! Quote Link to comment
AtomChurch Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I want to see this get finished! You do great work, and I have always kinda like the 411's. Not a lot of build threads for them, but I know you will probably keep us up to date on your work. Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Nice find Bob. AZHitman is re doing his. It is red also with an automatic. It is also his wifes favorite of his collection. He might be a source for some info. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Great find Bob! Red is my favorite color when it gets old like that. I say slam it and just cruise it :) Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Great find Bob! Red is my favorite color when it gets old like that. I say slam it and just cruise it :) I'm thinking the same thing. I'll get it to the car wash some time this week. Then I'll get it in the shop and see what's there. It's still sitting on the trailer and I haven't had any time to look at it. I will try to find four 13" tires at the used tire store this week. If I decide to just get it running and drop and cruz it, I'll need to get with Mike about some disc brake stuff. We'll see! ;) Quote Link to comment
BACARDI_DWB Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Bob your collection is beginning to look very respectable, Things to get 521 510 roadster and a few otheres.... hahaha Very nice find... Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 You can skip the 510....you've already got the best model they made!!! :) I'm thinking you need to add an NL to the mix. Quote Link to comment
Bisquick 246 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thats not a 5 speed tranny in the back is it? I am wanting to find a 5 speed that will fit my 411 SSS. I cant stand top speed of 55 when everyone around me is going 75-80 at work... Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Look what finally made it into the shop! I went down to the used tire store and got four 13" tires for $40 so I could get "Miss Information" off the trailer. Quote Link to comment
