67_1600 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hey, I beat Wayno - I bought my Roadster when I was 40. I've had two others since then but just have my 510 now. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 21, in 2007 I bought a 1981 Datsun 280zx that I had been eyeballing for 2 weeks going to work everyday until I bought it for $1500 from a tiny car lot in Central Point, Oregon close to my old high school. I was actually looking for a 240z or a 260z because there was a shop a few streets down that had 260z in front sitting for years even before I was in high school even after high school I offered to buy it but guy refused said it was his sons car and was gonna put a V8 in it so I went for the 280zx and drive it home!

tdaaj Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 No I was one of the guys trying to find a buyer for it 15 minutes after it was posted. I didn't have the cash or I might have been the owner. Quote Link to comment

Dguy210 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 May have been technically before I was born or a few months after I'm not quite sure on the timeline. I know right around the time I was born my Dad bought a B110 for real cheap as it had been in a front and rear fender bender and my earliest car memories are riding in it or my Mom's 510. As soon as I got my license it was officially mine but I had been working on it and driving it long before that. 1 Quote Link to comment

CharlesEriksun Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I sold my 2004 Impala for profit and picked up this rust-free 1974 260Z when I was 18. I've been doing nonstop work ever since! Quote Link to comment
Ottoman0331 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I was 25 and it was a 81 280zxt that I picked up for $500. I drove it for a about a year and a half and sold it for $900 after the 3 speed automatic went out on me. Wish I still had the car. Would love to put the engine in my 77 280z. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 My wife, all 5 foot 10 of her, had just passed her driver's test. Now came the "what car would she actually fit inside?" She really wanted a Toyota, but Toyota prep for the North American market had positioned the seats too far to the rear. Our 1964 Corvair with manual 3 speed transmission was too long in the seat to car pedal footing for her to fit, as was our later 1965 Chevy Nova Wagon. Guess what! t The 1967 Datsun RL411 was just her size and in our find came with an automatic transmission! We still have it, and I drive it on an almost daily basis! Quote Link to comment

floyd17 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 15, 1981 210 hatchback (5spd a15) given to me by my dad.. 16, and looking to buy and restore a 521. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 19 or 20. it was a 70 521. It was at a house I went to when I did my mobile detail thing. It was lowered on wide wheels and looked cool. I had no idea what kinda truck it was until I saw the tailgate. I disliked imports very much, but liked that truck a lot. I said hey dude thats a badass truck, he told me $1000 it was mine. I was like woah no shit? i tried to sell my suburban to pay for it. A couple days later a buddy of mine called me and said hey, I got this old truck, come help me work on it. (He is not mechanically inclined). I show up, and see the damn 521. Tried to buy it off him and he said no. Later on he got mad he couldnt get it running right. He put it up for sale, and i couldnt come up with the $$ in time. He sold it to a friend, who got fed up with it and literally gave it back to my friend. I then sold off my s10 i had bought 2 days prior and finally had my 521. the second i tried pulling out of the parking spot, the throttle cable snapped. It fought me from day one, and I daily drove it 50 miles a day for 8 months until it blew a headgasket and I had to sell it. Guy who owns it now is doing a full resto. I have since got another 521. sorry for the novel 2 Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 my 67' 520 i was 19 or 20, still have it, drove it until i wrecked it. and now rebuilding it pretty much from the ground up. first time i had seen one though i was 7 in a thrifty's parking lot with my dad getting ice-cream, 68-73 510 2-4 door it was metallic blue with shiny wheels, i says to my dad what is that i want one of those when i get older, he chuckled and said you don't want one of those, that's a datsun.... find yourself a 65 El camino or early riviera In the end........... :sneaky: 1 Quote Link to comment
