Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ok earlier today with the help of Guy gray together we bought a 64 L 320 off a friend of mine. I had passed on buying it back in 05 due to the fact my yard was full :cool: & just did'nt want it to just sit so i told my friend about it & he picked it up. We detailed it..got it running & cruised it around a few times & then it was parked & had been sitting for a long time. About 1 week ago he offered it to us for a price we could'nt pass up & we decided to buy it. Heres some info on it......... Good: runs, no big dents or dings, original interior-rims-stereo, has original manual & delivery slip. Bad/rough: fenders have rust, needs correct front bumper & bumperettes, needs clutch slave, headliner is damaged. Honestly we probably wont start working on it till next year & that gives us time to decide what direction to take on it. Id kinda like to do a mild resto & call it good :D Heres a few pics... shift patern w/ instructions on inside of glove box [collum shifter] delaer decal... extra goodies... a how rare is this??? an accessory checklist!!! Im guessing this was looked over & signed right before they went on the boat. Ill get a better pic later...this was inside the manual! Overall were glad this 320 was saved from the JY..:D Quote Link to comment

peanut2425 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 hell yeah, 320's are the shizzle. lol look at that iddy biddy engine :D Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 You know I'm a lovin it! So did that fit in the back of a u-haul???? What size? That would be good info to know for those of us w/o trucks and trailers! Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 naw that looks like a proper enclosed trailer. i work for u-haul, and none are big enough for a car or small truck. they do have tow dollies and auto transports for that purpose tho! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 You can fit a car in a U-Haul, seen it done ;) Quote Link to comment

jefe de jefes Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I almost picked this up a few months ago myself. You got this from Gary right? He gave me a good price also but it would have been around a 6 hour trip one way for me. And i already have 2 now. I can't believe he was cosidering junking it. I also wondered why you didn't pick it up sooner , with him being so close to you. How's the driver side pillar? Looked rusted through in the pic he sent me. It's a 65 right? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Jefe- yeah got it from Gary...known him for years. I/we didnt get it sooner due to lack of funds ;) & when he hit me with a "new" price we jumped on it. Yes the A pillar has a bad rust area thatll have to be cut out/repaired along with the bottom of the fenders. Those i can form patch panels for myself. The title says it's a 65 but the ID plate says 64. Also has front lights seen on other 64's & also the spare tire rack is different from the one on my 65. Hey...you can never have to many Datsun's...save everything!!! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I found a BEFORE pic taken the 1st time i went to look at it. had been sitting for years & was sinking into the earth...:blink: Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 :lol: that bumper is hideous. it looks like the exact same canopy that was on my NL when i bought it. Quote Link to comment
