lilb34n Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I bought a Datsun 411 in Tijuana. Seems ok but non of the dashboard light work and seems to have nothing original but the body. Seems it used to be automatic and swapped with a different tranny. Im not so sure if its a real Datsun engine. Is it still worth something? I know a few things for sure, its National, missing too many parts, fast, and feels hollow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKu0LcaqBfM heres a little video of it. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I cant say if it was worth it since we dont know what you paid, but it looks like you scored a decent 411. Body is in great shape, what I saw of the dash looked nice, and the engine sounds nice. It is an original Datsun engine and it sounds good. You could easily turn that into a fantastic car. Was this the car that was just on Craigslist? Quote Link to comment
lilb34n Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 yeah its the one that was on craigslist. bought it for 2,000. I don't have that much Datsun experience, but I really like them. Mostly if the are original. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Looks mostly original. Could just a good clean up. Welcome to the site. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 So what are your plans for it? You mention that you like original Datsuns... does that mean you have another original something? Quote Link to comment
lilb34n Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well would have liked it if it was all stock. But there are always circumstances that won't allow it. But I wanted a 510, but they are expensive and an sometimes too modified. So I decided to get this little guy since I had the money and its good for family and friends, since its a 4 door. I'm not a mechanic type of guy, but I really like the old styles. My friends say I like ugly cars but I will keep on liking them. So, while I'm in school I'll fix it up. Lets see how far I get.
