Datsun Dude Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've often wondered this…. 50? 500? I know there is no real way to determine this accurately. But what is your best guess? Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 i saw a 67 411 last week, so at least 1 more. he said he was gonna check this place out but couldnt remember the name :rofl: Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 No way of accurately telling, and since the move of NissanUSA to Tenessee, you will get little or no support in your search. A real pity, the Torrance CA former home office was very supportive of early Datsuns. They even had copies of all the early Datsun glove box Owner's Manuals and would let you read them.

MikeRL411 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 i saw a 67 411 last week, so at least 1 more. he said he was gonna check this place out but couldnt remember the name :rofl: There was only my 411 sedan at the 2013 JCCS at the Queen Mary plus a beautifully restored WRL411 from Arizona Hit Man and a WPL411. There were a total of three 411 sedans at the 2012 show plus Arizona Hit Man's WRL411. Yes, a rare and apparently dieing breed. Look in the 410/411 section for the rare resurection of more of our kindred. NissanUSA will be of no use in researching this question! Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Eagleadam has my old SSS as well, then there is my wagon i sold last year to that the guy got on the road. Quote Link to comment
exit64 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Does anyone maintain a 410/411 registry? I know the one on 311s.org is quite extensive for Roadsters. Some one should step up and set this up if they are really interested in this sort of information. Quote Link to comment

raceneely Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 There is a customer who comes in here all the time who sets up Warbird Registrys for old WW2 planes etc... He also does a Duesenberg registry site and some other rare makes. ill ask him. A DMV rep could tell us how many 411 are in California, We did it for 510's about 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 there is a yahoo group that has a registry.... none of mine are on the road at the moment but ive got 3..... Quote Link to comment
raceneely Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I tracked down the guy that did the 510's report for Troy and I back in the 90's, He is still with the Ca. DMV too. It will take about a month to get the numbers. I need to write him an official letter. Can someone explain the different VIN#'s for the 410/411 ? that will help the search There are RL and PL and WRL ? how do they work? All I have is RL411's Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 wrl, wpl - wagons rl, pl - sedans there is no wrl410 or rl410, just rl411 and wrl 411 but there is a wpl 410 - wpl 411 and a pl 410 - pl411 also if your 2 door is registered it shouls show up as just a r411. the "L" is a designation for lhd, so if he were to search with no "L" then we could see if there are any rhd models here other than yours Quote Link to comment
raceneely Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Ok Got it, my 2 door is inbound still..... Ill register it next month. So the VIN # 's for 410 or 411 are: RL411 WRL411 WPL410 PL410 WPL411 PL411 R411 R410 shall we check for convertibles? How many digits are these things after the letter prefix? Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 that i dont know, looks like 6 digits after 410/411. and no you shouldnt check for verts, there was only ever 2 made for a parade after the olympics. i doubt they exist any more and if they do they arent in ca lol, they are in a garage in japan or a museum somewhere also dont for get wr410, wr411, p410, p411, wp410, wp411... all rhd models. idk that the delux or any of that had a designation in japan as far as the vins go.

raceneely Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 The Mikuni Execs at JCCS said they had a convertible 310 back in the day. i wonder if it was stock Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 which 310? Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 casue its possible they meant the 310 roadster... they used the 310 for the sedan, thye roadster, then again for the stupid boxy b310 lol too many nomenclature crossings..... Quote Link to comment
whatwouldjessedo Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Mine was on the road for about 60 miles today. Still running like a champ, although the little J13 os pretty much maxed out at 70mph, or 50 uphill. Quote Link to comment
Fishorgolf Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Mine is on the road, but I don't drive it every day intell the weather get better. Count me as #2 from Portland Oregon. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Mine is on the road, but I don't drive it every day intell the weather get better. Count me as #2 from Portland Oregon. I know what you mean! I drive my 1967 RL411 as often as I can given the crappy weather we have been having this year, I drive my cars very gently. I put less than 4000 miles per year on each of my cars. That's why airlines exist!, So that you dont have to break down in the middle of nowhere. When I bought my RL411 in Montana one of my prime worries at that time time was "If I breakdown in God knows where, would the local garage throw me out on the sidewalk" or maintain that he didn't know how to service a car with a Studebaker transmission! Not a problem in 1968 and a few years therafter. Try to find a Toyota service dealer in 1967 in Montana [or most of North America]! By the way, I am the original buyer of my 1967RL411. Best car I ever bought! Among it's blessings it survived my wife's and our 3 children's driving lessons and road tests. Quote Link to comment
raceneely Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I Have the California DMV request information for the official count of 411's registered still in the state, I need to get it finalized and sent in so we can know for sure in Cali how many there are. We should start a pool to see who comes closest. Im betting 50 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hoping that the DMV will include registered Non-Op vehicles in the total also. Thanks for taking the initiative! Quote Link to comment
raceneely Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 GGzilla is guessing 22 Im guessing 50 wat about the rest of you? Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 17 registered or non-op total. SWAG, no rationale behind the number. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 9 on the road plus another 5 non op. 1 Quote Link to comment
