There was another Datsun 1200 there beside my truck

 

 

Pizza cutters

 

 

[ggzilla]

32 Nissans of which about 24 were Datsuns

 

some kinda big black sedan

 

 

 

This Nissan was too good to be legit

[banzai510(hainz)]

Any Ford Capris??????

[ggzilla]

Nah, only imported cars were allowed.

 

There was a hot rally Saab with the stock Ford V4 in it. That's just like the Capri V6 with two cylinders cut off.

 

 

SAAB rims

[banzai510(hainz)]

Capris,imprted to USA 70-77 made in koln,(Colonge)Germany

I owned a 3rd Gen German with Recaros .15x7s 3lter Ford Essex English motor. 140hp. Lowered Bilsteins. Fulda y200s. Was Pimp back in the day

I was station in germany in the Airforce.

 

US market V6 was the 2.6 and 2.8 both German

Germany market V6 was a 2.0,2.3, 2.8 injected and a 3.0 carbed(Essex)

[ggzilla]

I parted out many of those Capris then scrapped the bodies. Well at least I found out that the motor was not a good fit for my Datsun.

[ggzilla]

This guy had an L16 turbo!!!

 

 

 

 

This was a cop-car 280Z!

 

Finally, the sweet wheels on Mary's 240Z

almost looks better than canby.

[spudly13]

almost looks better than canby.

 

It was a pretty badass show/meet, never been to canby though, next year for sure! (as long as these dont fall on the same weekend again)

[ggzilla]

It was similar to Canby, but not all Datsun-Nissan. And only a 1/2 day show.

 

More like Blue Lake. So better than canby in a way.

 

I went to Canby on Saturday, and this on Sunday. I'm glad i did.

[bananahamuck]

almost looks better than canby.

 

 

Well the shows were very similar in that you didn`t go to either of them.. :w00t:

Is there a 2013 version of this ?? ? ? ?

[spudly13]

yessir there is! however i do believe it falls on the same weekend of canby again

[Tristin]

It does in fact fall on the same weekend as Canby again. I tried to warn them, but they obviously do whatever they want. I wont be attending this year, Im upgrading to Canby

It does in fact fall on the same weekend as Canby again. I tried to warn them, but they obviously do whatever they want. I wont be attending this year, Im upgrading to Canby 

i know a lot of people who warned them, unfortuneatly they have the "weve been doing this for x amount of time and we wont change" mentalitly, i saw a post from them on fb similar to that in response to canby.

 

Im gunna try and make canby saturday and this sunday, because it was truly a nice collection of old cars in one spot

[Tristin]

I thought of that as well, but I felt there wasnt enough to draw me into this event to miss Canby. There were some great cars for sure, but no real events, one tiny row of vendors (and it was all tshirts and stickers), and it was mostly just the Datsun guys hanging out around the grill. I can do that at Canby, see 10x as many cars, camp for two nights, and find way more stuff for sale. 

 

If this was on a separate weekend, I would go in a heartbeat as I had a blast last year, but to pick it over the full Canby experience I dont think so. I only went to this last year because I couldnt afford to make the trip to Oregon. 

[VintageRice]

I did canby 2 years in a row(without my car)  I'm going to be very busy in June and I think it would be fun to see other cars besides datusns.(i know sounds crazy) Plus my buddy can enter his BRAT !

 

Best part about this show is its CLOSE... were talkin a half hour from my house vs 5-6 to canby.  I think I'll be entering my car here this year. :)

 

Thanks far the info spuddddy man.  Hope to see u there.  The R1 guys should Def park near each other am I right!?

[Guest Rick-rat]

You could go back for the BBQ you left there last year

[Tristin]

You could go back for the BBQ you left there last year

 

I wish. I called them and they mentioned that saw it there, but thought it belonged to someone in the park behind where we parked. I then called the park owner and they never had it. Lost two good camping chairs and a BBQ. Oh well, Ive got a new set and I wont let it go this time. 

[xtrememotorworks]

IMO on of the best shows all year and it would be really cool to see more datsun's there, rolled my BMW 02 there last year and had a great time.
