DatDoug Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Saw an ad on the list "80 Datsun" $500 (Purdy) said it was a 2 door Automatic but didnt say what it was. I wondered if it was the same car that I drove by almost everyday for the last 5 years??? After a few emails I found out it was a 310 & the address was where this car had been! :thumbup: I always thought it was pretty cool lookin car. Went & checked it out & got it. Awful lookin interior. The PO fixed it up for his daughter & put a huge stereo in it. Of course the guy I bought it from took the amp & subs! Oh well, still a cool lil car that runs & drives great B) Pics Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Isnt this a 210? 310s were front wheel drive confusing topic, it was titled as a 210 in the american market, the engine tag says B310, but if you buy parts from rock auto you have to get the 210 section or you will get the wrong stuff (ask me how i know :rofl: ) nice score! seems like 210/b310 are popping up all over now!!! ur interior is complete (more or less :P ), you have the filler piece between the rear bumper and the body, doesn't look too rusty from the oics. major Score!!!! what are the plans??

DatDoug Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Yah it says 310 on the title but came with a 210 manual :confused: Pumkin says there all the same. My plans are to clean it up & sell it. I really dont need it but couldnt pass it up. I am impressed with how solid this car feels. It has complete new exhaust & the only rust is the tire well of the trunk. Id like to get a grille for it. This one is busted around the hedlite on drivers side. Even the auto shifts good B) Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I think the vin numbering Datsun used the 310 system but sold as a 210 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Datsun 310 is FWD model series N10 Datsun 210 is RWD model series B310 Tiger Mobile, i love it! Quote Link to comment
Jseoung Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Are you planning to change the suspension on it? Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 You have to find a Tony the Tiger sticker for the rear window. It's required since the PO skinned him and used his fur to cover the seats. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 What is that band across the roof? It is stainless? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 It one time had a vinyl top. You can see the other trim around the rear pillars. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 So it's not a stainless band. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 It is stainless. Kinda looks cool. There are no traces of an old vinyl roof. The paint is there & in good shape. Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 so it looks like the seahawks got downgraded and are now playing football in an old datsun instead of a stadium.... atleast you dont have to mow that astroturf! Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 i think i have another grill, ill check this weekend Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Sweet car. I have been looking for an automatic equipped 2 door for an engine swap. Ive got a 79 210,, and that shape and style really appeals to me. One of the best looking Datsuns in my opinion. Quote Link to comment
