ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Welp, found out the guy who I was gonna trade my 620 King Cab for his 77 200sx traded it for a 510. Now I'm on the hunt for a 77-79 200sx again found one not terriblely far from me. Here's what I would have owned. Funny thing is I saw this on Craigslist in SoCal for $1600 was gonna drive to get it but the guy who I was gonna get it from snatched it up before I could and he only cleaned it up a little made it run good did a little body work. I asked how much he wanted for it in cash he said $4800 talk about Cali tax lol. Quote Link to comment

Well if anyone can find another you are in the right part of the country! 1 Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 1980 200sx Hatchback for sale for just a couple hundred dollars. Front right corner was hit, but all the drive train is good. It is a running car That would basically be a L20 type motor with fuel injection, but it it is the 8 plug model. http://tucson.craigslist.org/pts/5305673524.html Quote Link to comment

Well if anyone can find another you are in the right part of the country! This car is why i put flares on mine, this one looks lower, prob has blocks on the back, and way lower profile tires than me though. 4800 is insane though, i bought mine stock for 500.. I guess i can sell mine for 15000 then? Haha Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 1980 200sx Hatchback... That would basically be a L20 type motor with fuel injection, but it it is the 8 plug model. Just a few FYIs... A 1980 model would be a Z20E, not an L20b. Also, an '80 model would only be an 8-plug if it's "California emissions". 49-state cars had a 4-plug dizzy (in 1980 only).

Seeker > 620 KC Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Same basic L20B block design, different head with fuel injection, and later model trans bolt pattern. Sorry, didn't mean to imply it was an L20B or interchangeable. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Sounds like it was an automatic. Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I saw the 80 200sx 8 plug/ auto on Friday. Everything is there but plastic and interior are pretty well baked by AZ sun. really nice guy. He even offered to let me strip the car there in his yard of everything I wanted for next to no $ and leave the rest behind before he scraps it. Wish I owned my own place and had a place to store it and or big parts. Just got busted by landlord for working on cars and selling parts. I was on holiday with my wife and only the time to take the door jam kick plates and a front turn sig assembly. Asked him what I owed... He gave em to me! Quote Link to comment

I guess i can sell mine for 15000 then? Haha Yeah has 13x7 don't know tire specs but it is cut springs up front and lowering blocks in the rear. Idk if the owner of the car is on here he goes by datsmungo or something like that. That's cool to know the car inspired more 200sx owners to do it, honestly I think it makes it look better like a mini Kenmeri Skyline. My plan was to drop a VG in it and do something with the rear end. The owner of the car now is pretty chill dude he said he found a Silvia S10 I know he will make it better if he gets the chance still sucks to see it in someone else's hands lol.

Well if anyone can find another you are in the right part of the country! Yeah funny I found a post about him trying to sell it months ago at the same time me and a friend were busting our asses trying to finish the 620. The guy even offered to help send a carb but no did went dead silent and never responded to any of my messages. Sucks the whole deal when I had to wait for the title for the 620 over a month really screwed me over. Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I knew it would be up for sale again this time for trade. This is the same car I was going trade the previous owner. The new owner traded his 510 2dr for this. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/5350879646.html Quote Link to comment
