tbubar Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) It's a sad day, but I think it's time to move on. Selling my 710 hardtop. [edit: updated link and new price] http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/3413555092.html 1974 Datsun 710 Hardtop. The car runs great and starts like a new car. The interior is in amazing original condition with no cracks on the dash or anything like that. The only issue is the stitching separating the headrest from the rest of the seat has come loose, but it's not noticeable unless you're looking for it. It has some rust issues on the body, but it's almost all surface rust except for the trunk lid. It needs a new trunk lid, but I have a replacement from Texas that just needs to be installed. The 3-speed automatic shifts smooth and works like it should. It has some period correct Datsun mesh rims with new tires. Things that are good: Replaced driver side frame rail. New hoses & vacuum hoses. New plugs and wires. New shocks & struts, and new suspension bushings. New brakes (discs, calipers, pads/drums, cylinders, shoes) and new master cylinder. New lines in a lot of places. New fuel lines and filter. New battery. All new fluids (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission, rear diff) Old/new-to-me Datsun mesh 13" wheels and new tires. Things that don't work: Radio Clock Weatherstripping needs to be replaced. Stuff I have that is included: original steel wheels & hubcaps new points, rotor and distributor cap replacement trunk that I had shipped from TX other misc parts Reasonable offers considered. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks, Todd Edited November 19, 2012 by tbubar Link to comment
Will Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I wish I had room for two!! Good luck - I hope it finds a good home. Link to comment
tbubar Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks! I'm kind of hoping no one wants it... Link to comment
Will Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I just saw your price drop to 2000 on craigslist. I keep getting notes under my windshield wiper from people wanting to buy my car. It seems like Brooklyn has a big crush on the 710! Should I send them your way? Link to comment
tbubar Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Sure, that would be great. The updated ad is here: http://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/cto/2634039339.html If it doesn't sell this time, I'll cover it up for the winter and try again in the spring. Link to comment
fisch Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Been seeing it on CL Tbubar! As rare as it is in the NE I am surprised it hasn't been snapped up. The right buyer will come along! Link to comment
toadx8u Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 did this ever sell? Link to comment
tbubar Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Not yet. Right now my mother is driving it, so I haven't been in a rush to sell it. There's a ratsun member in Maine who says he wants it and he'll be down to get it one of these days. Haven't heard from him in a couple weeks, though. Are you interested? Link to comment
toadx8u Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Might be is it auto or manual? Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Says so in the first post. Link to comment
toadx8u Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Wow how did I miss that... Link to comment
tbubar Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah, it's an auto trans. I have a 4 speed from a 200sx that might swap in, but it needs other parts + someone more talented than me to put it in. Link to comment
tbubar Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Price drop to $1800. Trying to move it before I have to put it in storage for the winter. Anyone? Link to comment
tbubar Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Sold! The kid who bought it seems like he's into Datsuns so hopefully he does right by it. Link to comment
Will Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Fiiiinally! He posted a thread here, and I think Ratsun's 710 contingent all tried to encourage him to take the plunge. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Mob mentality.... chanting at guy on a ledge.... "Jump.... jump.... jump.... 710 YESSSSS!!!!!" Link to comment
defdes Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Damn, should have jumped sooner. Looked like a nice deal. Glad you got it out Todd. Link to comment
