bgmk106's 76 620 (Newbie)

[bgmk106]

Hey kids. I have recently acqired Yello620's erhm... yellow 620. It has a VG30e and Jason did an AMAZING job on the swap! It brings a smile to my face every time i get on the throttle and certainly turns heads.

((((((start of long story...feel free to skip to pics below))))))

Here in Milwaukee, I have only seen two 620s ever which can be attributed to our obsurdly high use of salt in the winters. My father and brother race a '70 240z (last pic) and ever since they got it in 2000 (when i was 10) I have had a love for most every Datsun. It wasnt until recently that I really gave the 620 a second look. and when I did, i knew I had to have one. Within a week of deciding I wanted one, I sold my beloved Honda XR650 and began the search. I looked around on CL for a while and then came accross Ratsun. I posted a WTB ad and got a couple bites, one of which was close to going through. When it didn't  I had come accross one of Yello's posts saying he may sell his. I had seen it on the forum before and thought it was ultra badass especially with such a unique motor swap. He was willing to do a long distance transaction so we went for it! Generally speaking, the transaction went very smoothly but pretty much everything that could have held it up did. It took a lot of patience on both our parts but the truck finally got shipped and I got it May 10th. My dd is a 2012 Tacoma...havent driven it since. I take my 620 eveywhere. There is that certain joy that I get when driving something thet you have to put effort into steering, stopping, avoiding potholes. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. It will be driven most every day this summer and fall but the second the snow flies it will be stored in the garage that the 240z is in. It has almost zero rot and i want to keep it that way! Enjoy the pics, I will upload more in the comming week.

I'm beginning to think the "VG30" is a ruse.

Ya, now I wish I would have taken Yello's offer to drive it when I had the chance. Guess I'll have to build one of my own now.  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:
