bgmk106 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well i started out looking for a datto pickup. Since then I've seen some ultra awesome examples of 510s. That being said, I'm pretty open to the model at this point. Lookin for anything prior to '79 RUNNING with LITTLE TO NO RUST. Pickup, wagon, coupe, 4 dr, whatever. Since I'm a little hot to get this for summer I've "upped" my budget to $6000. I'm not looking for a project and I want to stay within 1000miles of Milwaukee. I had a 280Z that i sold to my brother but never drove it. I am a true Dasun lover but I'm new to the scene so if anyone has any advice or pointers, i would greatly appeciate it! 1 Link to comment
RedBanner Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 My advice, look for a 4k car, and fly out here (west) and drive it home, or look for a 5k car, trust the seller, and ship it back to you. Link to comment

You are confirming what all of my research has been telling me. 90% of the clean Datsuns FS are on the West coast or down south. That being said, are there any questions i should be asking beyond the standard car-buying questions? Inherant problems? Want to make sure I dont have any surprises if i do get it shipped.

Clean title? Rust issues? Has the engine been rebuilt, if so any proof like receipts? How's the ompression, does it smoke, leaks, does it overheat?..you can do as much as you can, but these cars are over 40 years old. Something is always going to come up. Expect the unexpected. Good luck. Link to comment
bgmk106 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have been contacted about a 620 from Rick-rat. Wondering if anyone here has seen the truck in person? Seems like a decent price for a nice truck. Any thoughts? http://community.ratsun.net/user/738-rick-rat/?tab=topics Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 ^^^ Rick-rats red 620 is a very clean truck. I have seen it at a few shows and he seems to take very good care of it. I'm sure all the other local rats would say the same. Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yep what he said^^ ,, and that thing hauls balls down those winding ass country roads up and down Mt.Rainer with those 4 wheel disc breaks he has got on there ,,, i tell you what..And I drive a 510 that was kinda ment to take the corners.

bgmk106 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 BUMP. Couldn't come to a deal on the truck i was interested in. Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I love everything about this...except the auto trans :( Dont be scared of autos... they are easy to change out for pretty cheap (most times) and when you exclude those, you lose out on some decent cars because everyone thinks autos suck. If youre really serious about getting into the Datsun game sack up. Auto swaps can be done in just a couple hours. Cake. 2 Link to comment
