zerow Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Just found this one across the Pond, trying to see if they're willing to ship. 160 US plus shipping from the middle of nowhere To my knowledge they only came on the 73 DX Wagon? (WP610) As bonvo aptly put it, they are on the "cheap" Bluebirds (The DX models). My Japanese sales brochure shows them on the sedan as well. I wanted one for my sedan to be different. As an aside, the grille center is metal, not plastic, so how "cheap" is it really? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 well at the time it was probably cheaper to press out a piece of pot metal then mold plastic Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Well sooooorrrrryyyy. I'm on mobile and the picture is tiny. It just looks like a fancy 720 grille. Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Has the Cedric badge.. so.. yup its for my 65 Cedric... it's a 63-64 cedric grill tragically cast pot metal VS my stock damaged 65 stainless one... needs restoration and rechroming, but is very straight and complete.

What is cool one side of the planet,ain't cool the other side. Our 610's are the "cheap" versions judging from other parts of the world where they had the180B SSS twin carb round gauge set up. There are even FI versions. Same with the IRS 160J twin carb versus the "cheap"american version 710 with live axle rear suspension. It is all relative. And all is cool. Nothing is inferior, it is all different and part of the universe of options. Quote Link to comment

Looks cool for an L-series mod. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thats one thing Ive always wanted to pick up... just a bit out of financial reach every time I find one though. Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thats one thing Ive always wanted to pick up... just a bit out of financial reach every time I find one though. yup 185 bucks before shipping etc Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Yeah the last one I saw was $150 plus shipping... still a bit out of reach for a clock. Im all down for that price, but it would have to be a finishing touch type of thing. Maybe for just under $100 I would pick it up mid build. But for nearly $200 Ill wait a bit. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Those 610 hubcaps are very common on the USA B210 Coupes Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 yup but weren''t the 610 a bigger diameter? not that i like them, but for a period correct resto... i wonder if the seller got it wrong. Quote Link to comment
