My New Datsun

[misspentyouth]

Here is my new 1974 Datsun 620.  It has 54,000 original miles, garage kept, one owner.  Still has the original key chain that came when car was purchased.  Also has the

plastic warranty card still inside the warranty brochure inside the glove box.  Truly a barn find.  Just put a Webber carb on it.  Runs like a top!!  Just trying to decide what to do with the wheels.  Go custom or just put larger painted steel wheels on it.  Decisions decisions decisions!!!!!

Lovely. One year only that had a 5 bolt 225mm flywheel. Keep the steelys and go slightly wider tire. It's too original to mess it up.

I'm jealous, that's awesome! That seat is freaking gorgeous! Paint the front grille black with the chrome bezels, white walls, and crank the torsions!  O yeah, remove the side trim, rear steel bumper, and front cow prods or whatever they are.

Does that mean I have the bigger flywheel too? I have a 74

Sweet find man. Love the red paint. And I like how you put some red in the wheels

Jaw dropping awesomest.  Id keep that as close to stock as possible, except for the mention tire combo above

Wow! Great time capsule!

 

I agree about the white walls. I got uniroyal tiger paws for mine. 195/75-14 (maybe 70?) I think there are really only a couple white wall sizes available for 14" wheels. ike 185 and 195.

I'll have to look again at mine for the size.

I've had the Tiger Paw on a couple other cars, I like the way they look, wear and drive.

 

OR there is a member here selling some custom made 15" steelies in the classifieds. I think they are a rally type center on a little wider rim. I think they'd look really good with stock dogdish caps mounted.

nice buy and when I bought my Datsun 620 I find the plastic warranty card it can tell you a lot

[GRpufnstuf]

Um wow, I'm not saying you should sell your truck...

But but you should take a gander at the green 620 listed on eBay (and BaT) with bidding at $13,000+
