Green Queen Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Ok so i have notice people have been writing stories on here about how they got there Datsun and my husband said i should write one because well...its not a everyday story you hear about... ok so my husband (Kautic) his friend (wide14u) and my self have been searching for a 620 for about a good 6 months n it is hard to find one that is not all torn up or in a scrap yard. so when were looking on craigs list we had come across a 1978 nissan for sale. it had been posted up there for about 3 days so far, and at that moment i knew that this was the truck for me! :w00t: After reading what they had put on there about the truck and the pictures they had, we wanted to call them right away! but heres the thing there was no number :o all there was an address to a public email, we tried it lots of times...no answer... :no: i'm thinking crap i already know its gone! So (Kautic) and (Wide14u) noticed that the email address was the name of a subdivision. we googled the subdivision and found a house for sale in the subdivision. we went to google maps and typed in the address of the house, and pulled up the street view. we searched down the map, we found a house that have the same fence and features as the pictures on the ad on craigs list. after comparing we decided to go check it out the next day to see if we had found the right house. (Kautic) and (Wide14u) went the next day while i was at work. they went up to the door, knocked... no answer. as they turned to leave, a older lady answered the door. she said, "Hi????". (Wide14u) said "This is gonna sound strange, but by any chance, are you selling a DATSUN?" she said while stepping back, "Why yes how did u know?" than they both explained how they stalked her and she just laughed and thought that was crazy. so they sealed the deal with the lady and that is how i got my 78 DATSUN King Cab or i mean QUEEN CAB :frantics: so here she is 1 Quote Link to comment

Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I like this Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 So Kautic and Wide14u sealed the deal with an old lady? I guess some people will do anything for a Datsun. But seriously... Crazy cool stalker story. It always pisses me off when CL ads give you no way of contacting them when it's something you really want. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I hate bad craigslisters. But I like your story. It's a cool one. Quote Link to comment

darrel Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's always about ME, ME, ME! What was the history of the old lady and the truck? Those are the things that interest a lot of us. BTW, good work on the detective work. Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Truck doesn't look too bad. Bought my 620 while living up in the potato fields :rofl: Also love how you guys found this, genius! Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Cool story.......sounds like the kind of thing I'd do :) Quote Link to comment
Green Queen Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 here is the back side view of the truck. that bumper is coming off haha 1 Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Moral of the strory: If there is a will there is a way. You wanted a 620 bad enuff that you went beyond the norm & found it. It is truly yours now. Just think if they had listed a phone# or been easy to contact you mite not have got your truck. Good job. Now lower that beast :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
