BigInJapan Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi guys, Here's a nice looking coupe that popped up on BAT. I'm sure many of you have already seen it... http://bringatrailer...71-datsun-1200/ No affiliation with the seller. Ian Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Ratsun member Burabuda owned it back when it won all the trophies. He had Panasport make a set of custom 15" gold wheels for it. He sold it in 2006 and built the JDM sedan that Duncan now has. Last December Yellafeva bought the Coupe. He changed to larger wheels and tires, and painted a blackout scheme http://community.ratsun.net/topic/38461-my-new-1200-more-pics-page-3/ Now it's for sale again, per Bring a Trailer Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 The comments on BAT are mostly the expected stretch/no-stretch talk ... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 The comments on BAT are mostly the expected stretch/no-stretch talk ... Other than all the posts with clear lies/misinformation in them... :rofl: Like "1200s came with 13" wheels originally" and "these are Hayashi Streets so they're cool"... :blush: 1 Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 yeah i wonder if there's a way to remove a car from bat? always the same old group of posters (all bmw & porsche fanboys) sick of them.. i certainly want no car of mine on there Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 yeah i wonder if there's a way to remove a car from bat? I'm sure the seller could email them and ask that it be removed? But I don't see that happening. B) Quote Link to comment

Orange1200 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hello all, this is my first post as a new member. I was the lucky buyer of this very cool 1200 a few weeks ago. It's now in Miami Florida. I could not be happier! This is a neat car with an interesting history. I received an email from a gentleman named Ben who did the build on this car in the early 2000's who will be invaluable as a resource for me. Thanks in advance Ben! I plan on completely restoring this to pristine condition. Every body panel has dents and the interior is a bit rough. It will be repainted in the original color. 1st thing will be to sort out the suspension and tranny synchros. Last night I took it to a meet near my office in a place called Doral and it was the center of attention. I'll post some photos of the car as it looks today shortly. This is a very cool community, and will ask for advice once the TLC starts. Comments, suggestions and any historical notes on this car are greatly appreciated... Juan 1 Quote Link to comment
