datzenmike Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Even with no motor it's a deal (saves the trouble of taking it out, worth $100 right there!) Slip an L20B 5spd in there, shox, sway bar....blah, blah. It'll dance! What do they weigh...1,800 or so. Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 The 510 for 1800 looks like great deal, but all I have right now is 500. Im currently looking for a job so I ill have to wait till then. Thaks VRTSid for the help. Man I wish I could find great deals like Icehouse. haha It took years of practice to find Datto's for the deals I get them for. The trick is to buy the ones that aren't for sale. Driving a datto helps... Everyone goes "hey I know where one of those is sitting!" I go "draw me a map." We thats not 100% true with the iPhone I go. "give me the adress." haha PM GGzilla He is the 1200 God! He know's where all the good deals are. Way back he actually looked at a 1200 I had for sale. I got that one for 60 bucks out of someones back yard :D The dude I sold it to is still driving it to! 1200's are bad ass! Quote Link to comment
DatsunKid Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'll PM GGZilla thanks. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 What do they weigh...1,800 or soNaw man, what do you think it is a VW or something? Fully loaded with engine and 1/4 tank of gas, it weighs 1640 pounds. Go the Datsun 1200! There is a list of 1200s for sale in USA here: datsun1200.com. Most are unsold. If you know of more, please add to the list. Quote Link to comment
