Steroid Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi Tom, Thanks for the "heads up"! That is a recent build up. That was/is the truck that was on ebay built last year by Chop Derek. Look closely at the early morning photos as We got ready to caravan to JCCS. You will see the "primo" logo. He used one of My wrapkits. I don't know what they paid for it but it is a VERY clean truck! I hope that the new owners finish it and take good care of it. Maybe they will attend runs with Us. Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 as i told u earlier, they want to get it good, they would like any history that any of us could give them, they go by mariaaz, here on ratsun, they also were open to the suggestion of hangin with us, as they would like to get more involved with ther new toy, i also suggested to try and get all or most of the az peeps together to get to know everyone to them and they were interested too..L8R tom:D Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Glad you saw this 620 Tom. We saw it last year @ JCCS in person & its CLEAN!!! Knew it was on Ebay for awhile, glad the new owners wanna cruise it around. Could they be new SWDP members? :D Quote Link to comment

datsun dreamer Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Glad to hear "Orange Peel" found A good Home:D I was wandering what happened to that beautiful 620! mariaaz, If you read this........Please post some pictures:):)!!!! Quote Link to comment
MariaAZ Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Nice to see pics of our newest family member! Hopefully we'll get the guy up and running soon. I'm hoping to install a starter relay this weekend so we don't have to bridge the starter posts with a screwdriver to get it started. Then, somewhere along the line the auto choke was removed from the carb, so we're looking at putting a manual choke system in at least for now. I'm more interested in working under the hood, so it's nice to have a vehicle that is complete that way (I suck at body work). With such a long history as a show vehicle, I might just have to "pretty up" the engine compartment. First things first though, and that is getting it running so we can get it to pass emissions. We'd love to get together with other Datsun fans. We used to do the Scottsdale Pavillions shine n show with the Roadsters and Zs. This post shows our other Datsuns: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=4171 ETA - as for photos... we'll have to clean it up a bit, the bath will have to wait until after we get the relay in and can hopefully start the truck :) Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hey, anyone in the Phoenix area know whatever happened to this truck? Last I heard it was just sitting in a carport at the same people's house that Derek sold it to. Quote Link to comment
