DREWSDIME Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I wonder what reserve price is??? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 That's a 1960. At JCCS they had several from the 1950s in including a 1957 Toyota and more than one 1959 Datsun. Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Wow, is all I can say. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Do want! If I didn't have my 1959, I'd be all over it! I have seen a few Toyota Crowns from the era in the states, but barely any of these! Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I wonder what reserve price is??? i dont think its that high hes a member of jnc, and i dont think hes out to make a fortune. its a shame, i personally think its an ugly car but had he posted it as a datsun/nissan it would have gotten alot more proper attention Quote Link to comment
Hardwyre Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I bet we can get that bitch to drift status. Nice little RB20DET on a 5 speed. Could you imagine the lolz to be had at the stop lights? :) Actually, she's pretty heavy looking, so maybe a slightly bigger motor for some lower end torque. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Oh if only it were mine... I'd be tempted to go here with it. (It is a quick photochop on some torq thrusts.) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 You would have one of the most rare cars in USA, thatsa for sure. For fans of the early 50s style, it is superb. Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 The reserve must be pretty high... I put in a generous first bid - way more than i paid for my equally rare Cedric in the same condition , and it didn,t hit the reserve. Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 And if anyone buys and ratrods this, i will rip their nuts off. seriously... Im not joking. Be like ratsuning an original mercedes gullwing. Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Good idea! An LS1 and C5 6-speed would go awesome in this! Note the 6-lug wheels, just like my '59 datsun sedan. Cool. I bet they are reverse thread lug on one side. I wanted to ratrod my '59, but it was in such solid condition, I can't do it. What I'd want to buy to hotrod is a car missing the original engine, interior,and a bunch or original stuff, just a solid shell with all the trim, then I wouldn't mind rodding it because getting the original parts would be incredibly hard. This car is almost too nice. If I got this in this condition, my goal would be to keep it original. But if it is solid axle in the front and back, removing a couple of leafs from the back (and maybe the front if it is a parallel leaf setup like the `59) or a drop tube axle wouldn't hurt anything! I don't mind a chevy motor in a mass produced z car (though I'd rather go RB or Y44) but a american engine in this car would make me... Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 No ratrodding. I plan to resto-mod it. KA24DE and tubbed rear tires. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I believe hardweird was just yanking somebodies chain for the lulz. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 seeing the one all black slightly changes my opinion on the body style being ugly, now give it some flares Quote Link to comment
Drive510 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 This is an awesome find. I remember when this user posted on JNC. I hope this car goes to someone that will restore it properly. Quote Link to comment
Zfighter76 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 just as some say that toyota was trying to copy the mustang with some of their old celiccas, and i personally think some datsuns look like old mustangs, i can see how datsun got the idea from the old 57 chevy style cars. its actually an ingenious way to introduce a car company into a country, make the car youre trying to sell look exactly like the most popular car here. haha, though i dont much care for old mustangs or chevy's, this car is beautiful.

datrod Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 This thing would be badass in VIP style. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'd restore it to new, except I honestly wouldn't keep the stock motor. I'd stick a VK from a Titan in there. It'd look period correct, but it'd go a hell of a lot faster. Not joking. But I also don't have the time to invest in that car. I have plenty to do on the 510. Quote Link to comment
72dat Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Ha! I just saw this on Bring a trailer and was going to post it here. Awesome car. I would love it. Definatly would have to agree with the anti ratrod sentiment. Quote Link to comment
