ofg Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 So, I found an 810. Unfortunately its a 78 wagon with 212k miles, and bad rust. I frikken hate rusty wagons. But, its an 810 and it probably runs well enough to make a 250 mile trip home. 600 bucks. Worth it? Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 And,, the other side is about the same,,, and yes,, it goes all the way through. However,, interior looks nice and seller claims it has been regularly maintained,, and is still a daily driver. Anybody know if 810 body panels are as hard to find as the cars them selves? Any other Datsuns share panels? Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 You Have To Make Them If Runs Good For $600? BUY IT To Me.. Rust Doesn't Really Matter But If You Don't Have A Welder And A Free Weekend Then It Might Be A Problem.. BTW..Url Doesn't Work Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I own three all rust free for under $600.00.THe panels are 810 exclusive. PSSST- i need a passenger side tail light lense...if you can fit one in your pocket.......... Quote Link to comment

ofg Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 HMMMM,,, Im a gonna pass on the rusty wagon. Its in CO,, if anybody wants in on it,, I will contact the seller on their behalf. I think the truth being,, I frikken hate wagons,, rusty or not. By the way, I should have some iron crosses being delivered to me any day now. Those wheels look fantastic even on a parts wagon!

bloodontheapex Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Offer him. Buy it. Part it. Sell parts to me. Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Where in CO is it? If it's close enough to me I may be tempted to snag it so I have spare parts & replace a couple things. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Denver metro area. I had a wanted ad,, and this person responded to it,, so as far as I know its not advertised anywhere. Pm me your contact information and I can forward it to the owner if seriously interested. Im not going to get it. Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Grand Junction, that was supposed to be the correct answer. Denver is a bit far, but expected. I did do a little research & it looks like the seller may have had a craigslist ad up, which was ended so it may no longer be available. I wish a potential business deal would go through, then I'd feel a little more flush, but right now I'll have to pass if it is still available. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Nice find! I would snag It up, i know of quite a few here in Oregon and California that are for sale! That's the rustiest 810 I ever seen. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Owner just made me a stupendous offer,, but its too far and too rusty for me. Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Ah, so he hasn't sold it yet. Free!?! If it's free or nearly free I can spend the gas to go get it for spare parts (not going to try and restore it, sorry). I bought a dolly so I can finally get the 89' home & can use it to haul the 88' to Utah. If it's seriously cheap, pm me the guys contact info. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 xlr8r pm me your contact info. This person wants to sell. He said its been in the same family sinse new, and been the most reliable car they have ever owned. Nice person,, so I believe him. Its probably a fantastic car. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 And i have all the parts to make it solid.The Goon pictured above is typical Az. rust free. and will be going to the boneyard in the next couple of months. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Heck,, that solid shell is worth some $$ for sure. xlr8r I sent your info to the seller. Ztrain if you were closer I would offer you some $$ on that roller parts car. Oh well. My iron crosses finally arrived. What a hassle. Going to take em in for blasting and powder coating here soon. Cant decide on colors though. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hey xlr8r did you buy that rusty wagon? Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'll be picking it up soon, the plan is to get it this weekend. I got a few more pics from him, it's still hard to say whether I'll try to save the car, but based on a couple photos (rusted out where firewall & floor pan meet) it's looking like I'll be stripping it to have spare parts handy for my 79'. It was a DD for the owner since 81, a lot of winters have taken their toll. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 If your swinging through grand junction on the way,, stop on by. Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'll probably take the 80 there, then the 70 back so I will be passing through Grand Junction on my return. Pm me your # & if I'm not running too late I can stop by for a break from what will be a long day of driving. If I do decide to part it I'll let the 810 community know. I'll be selfish with a few things, put try to help people out. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Definately let me know as i need a few trinkets. Quote Link to comment
