Thatdoodle Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have some pics of my rides. Im Looking for a truck. prefferably a 520 or 521. I went to go check one out the other day but I still have to think if its worth spending $1500 on one that i have to restore Vs. Getting one already restored. I have a 91 civic wagon RT4wd and a 98 Lexus Sc300. more here http://www.hondacivicwagon.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1731&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= Im trying to sell my lexus to fund either a Datto pickup restoration project or to get a restored pickup.

Bleach Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 91 civic? My friend has a 1985 Civic wagon 4wd. I didn't know they made them all the way till 1991. Those are rare. My 350Z is no match for his Civic. (on ice) :D Quote Link to comment
RB_Shaggs Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 nice wagon my buddy in hawaii had one with a b16 4wd it was pretty damn quick Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Trucks are harder tp find in the N east. I have seen some Z cars, but not much trucks. I think the Pacific Coast got alot fo the trucks. Best of luck, there is a real nice 72 521 in Florida 4 sale but he wants like $7k for it...way way to much. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Heya Doodle, just noticed you were in NJ. Glad to have another member in the North East. (I am in MA) Datsun lovers are a rare breed around here! (Except for z's and roadsters.) I really nice 320 has come up for sale in RI, but the seller wants 7K! That is crazy for a 320. I've rarely seen one sell for more than 4K. And those are usually the rarer NL 320's. I got my 521 for $250, in NH but that was a lucky fluke for a pretty rust free example, from a gentleman who was retiring down to FLA. There is a nice toyota stout for sale around here. Look one up and if you are interested in the style I will track down the info. I look all the time in New England. I will give you a shout if something pops up. BTW i dig your wagon!

Those are rare.My 350Z is no match for his Civic. (on ice) :D Yea they made em up until 95 and sold them up till 96 in japan. Its funny you should mention that because one of my buddies has a 350Z and he called me this past winter to come pick him up when we had a lot of snow. nice wagon my buddy in hawaii had one with a b16 4wd it was pretty damn quick Wow Thats Fresh. doing a b series awd requires some fabbing because you have to use a cr-v trans, diff, a hybrid rear axle, a custom driveshaft and make a custom passenger side mount. I only know of one guy running a b series 4wd and he's out in the midwest. Trucks are harder tp find in the N east. I have seen some Z cars, but not much trucks. I think the Pacific Coast got alot fo the trucks. Best of luck, there is a real nice 72 521 in Florida 4 sale but he wants like $7k for it...way way to much. AWWW man tell me about it. All i see are Z's znd 510's. I went to see a 521 in PA. took me 2 hours to get there. The guy told me that it only has a little rust on the fender. Come to find out it had rust on the rockers floor board and inner fender wells. yea its a common thing but the guy is asking 1800 for it and wasnt true about the condition. I Pmed him about the truck in FL, he wants me to call him but im waiting to sell my lex before I buy a fully restored one. Heya Doodle, just noticed you were in NJ.

You are the man dude. You just lit up my face! I really like the stouts ever since I saw one. Please send me that info. Im trying to score like you. Find a nice barn kept truck and keep it clean. I dont want to bag it or nothing I want to keep it all original. This is the prime example of how I would want to keep my classic japanese truck. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Oooo mamma I love me some Stout! Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Damn man, I love the wagovans! I aspire to have one someday. Hopefully you find a Datto to call your own soon. Then when my 510 is roadworthy I can make a trip, hehe. Quote Link to comment
Thatdoodle Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks man! btw wagovans are a particular model made through 88-89 and they are the lowest of all the EE chasis as far as engine and accessories. theyre actually an EY. Damn I like the stout also.. Fisch your brainwashing me!! Quote Link to comment
Thatdoodle Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I really nice 320 has come up for sale in RI, but the seller wants 7K! I spoke to that guy yesterday. Supposedly it is all original with a respray yet it has rust on the bottom of a fender. He took it to the head honcho of datsun in his area and the head honcho said it must have been a military person who was stationed in another country that brought it back because it has 2 steering boxes with the cutout for rhd on the other side.

Strange indeed! We have a few 320 experts on here, whatcha think guys? I know they made them pretty easy to switch on the 521 (Dash is switchable with the glovebox I think?) But two steering boxes is pretty interesting! But I don't know if it is '7k' interesting.:) Quote Link to comment
