Nicholas7620 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Holy Smokes, Very Beautiful Vehicle This is a near totally restored 77 Honey Bee. You have to see this Datsun. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130263156463&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123 The Datsun is in New Jersey. Bumpers are missing, but may be located and included with purchase. On a scale of 1 to 10 this one is a 12. Enjoy, Nicholas Link to comment
poolguru Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thats considered almost restored? a 12? Sorry to disagree.Its a clean car,but not a really good restoration job and the Buy it now price is too high for what your getting. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'd rock it. I had a new '76 in the day. Would cost 2 1/2- 3 times that amount to get the same mileage and still not look as cool. Link to comment

Sorry to disagree.Its a clean car,but not a really good restoration job and the Buy it now price is too high for what your getting. I think the 77 Datsun is easily worth $8,000, scarcity value included. I am an amateur restorer and learning. I'm also a B210 fan and prejudice. I'm in Cali and just put my 76 B210 (poorly restored) back on the road as my DD. I receive enjoyment from people who stop me and tell me their Datsun stories. The New Jersey Datsun does not have any smog equipment and is illegal in CALI. That's the only negative for me. Best, Nicholas Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 anyone know what kind of wheels are on that b210? Link to comment
Moisabamf Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 i myself dont think the car is worth that much. i mean above all things, its a 77! smog chex! just my .02 Link to comment
Bleach Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Looks to me like a good car, but not a restore. I'd call that a really thourough paint job and a degreased engine. The B210 is rare, but generally undesirable. There are fans out there though. There is a really clean and original B210 up here in Washington for sale. I think it was listed at $2500 on craigslist. I doubt it'll ever sell. but like everything else, its worth what someone will pay. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 anyone know what kind of wheels are on that b210? Are they like these? http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/wheelLarge.jpg[/img]"] Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Are they like these?http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/wheelLarge.jpg[/img]"] Close. The wheels on that b210 look to be deeper and also has a deeper center. I'm going to send the guy a message and ask what wheels they are. I saw those same wheels on a muscle car and loved the look.

My question is-where did he get all the parts?:confused: Edited October 20, 2008 by Z-train Link to comment
Moisabamf Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 well it doesnt even have a carpter inside!:eek: no way hees getting asking price Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I know I own a 76 Datsun. I passed smog easy with room to spare on emission tests. I didn't change oil, plugs, cap and rotor like you are supposed to before taking it in for smog. I had a pre test done, it passed. Took a chance and it passed. I was stunned. Gee-Mike,at least you coulda hosed the cat piss off the wheel first.:blink: Nick-that car is perfectly legal in Kalifornia. My question is-where did he get all the parts?:confused: There are alot of parts available on ebay, Kragen Auto online, Auto parts giant online and RockAuto parts catalog on line. There are more vendors. Datsuns, especially B210's seldom broke parts. As a result, there are alot of NOS parts for the B210's. In 20 years of daily driving my B210, I've replaced one slave cylinder, one starter, two alternators and one muffler. I have 227K miles on my B210. E-bay has newly chromed bumpers for sale for the B210. I've noticed Datsun dimes and trucks are more desirable than B210's. Best Regards All, Nicholas Link to comment

72 327 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 To me honest with all of you. This car doesnt look like its been touched. It only has 38,xxx miles on it. I think it was some old ladys car that parked it in a garage in the 80's. It looks like it got a rattle can on some of the shot he posts as a touch up. May a few things taken off to make them pretty and put back on. But a restore hmmmm dont think so. Link to comment
fisch Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 If you think that is bad ass you have to check out thte one that just popped up!

datsunrides Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 anyone know what kind of wheels are on that b210? Those are either factory 80's Toyota wheels found on Corona's, Corolla's, or Celica's or the knock off copies of them. Mark Link to comment

I'm with you on smog issue. I'm from Calif., too, and there's a lot of cars out there 75 and up that I would not mind getting but smog is the issue. Link to comment
racerx Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 here this should settle the price war: http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?LI=1-22-1-5013-0-0-0&l=1&w=22&p=1&f=5014&y=1977&m=1254&d=2222&c=7&vi=79091&z=64151&da=1 BTW this NADA guide is for deluxe model. Link to comment
b210in Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 i agree with racerx. the only reason i got my b was because it was cheap and smog excempt, and i could not afford a 510 at the time. it's getting tougher and tougher to smog post 75 cars here in cali. that white fastback is really nice though, kind of looks like mine only better.
