V320

[Rusty gate]

Hi everyone, new to this forum and I am from Australia. I have just purchased  a 64 V320. My question is. I am finding it extremely difficult to find threads specifically for the wagon, pretty much  everything is for the trucks. 

I am hoping to make contact with other owners and perhaps start our own thread in this group especially around spare parts. 

Thank you

Welcome

 

We didn't get very many V320s in this country if we imported any at all, we got the WPL312 wagons.

You have any photos of your V320 to share?

The WPL312 is much closer to a V320 than a RL411

Just wish I could get this to work. Mines a 2 door and the compliance states a  64 v320

If your trying to post photos of your V320 you need to host them somewhere like postimage, you cannot post them to here directly from your computer on this forum.

If you have access to Facebook I’ve created a Datsun V320 group you can check out the photos if you like 

[wayno]

You might be able to copy the photo on Facebook and paste it here, but it likely will not last long before becoming unavailable.

Do you have all the parts for it, taillight bezels/lenses?

 

We can that a Van over here as it is a 2 door.

As far as I can tell it’s at least 95% complete maybe more. There is a heap of spares in the back including 2 extra engines.

So we can see it..... wayno your pic didnt work.....

It's good you have most of the parts, that's gonna be hard to find parts.....

 

Also not sure if your aware or not, and I'm not sure but that vehicle might be a positive ground system.... just verify before you start putting a battery to it....

 

Good luck and welcome....

[Crashtd420]

And I use postimage for that.....

Works good for me.... there are other options you just need the right link posted.....

Here is a writeup on using Postimage.

You'll severely limit yourself looking for/creating a V320 forum or a U320 forum. Stick with the full 320 forums. V's & U's exist in extremely low numbers and there are a good number of pickups; 85% of the parts/maintainence issues are common in the 320 model range.

 

BTW, nice looking and rare survivor you've snagged there; and at least one original hubcap !!

Man, I wish I could find one of those. So very cool. Reminds me of a '65 Fiat wagon I almost bought a few years ago. Wish I hadn't passed on that one...

[wayno]

It has the hard to find Australian taillight bezels/lenses.

Do you have 3 more of them hubcaps?

Very rare car/van, the doors are unique to the NL320, U320, V320, same with the trim, only NL320 and V320 have this set of trim, although the U320 Passenger side door and fender trim will also work, the U320 rear trim is unique to the U320 as it is slightly longer than the NL320 and V320 trim.

Take care of that rear bumper, you likely will not find another one, fix what you have, do not throw away anything, if you actually can find replacement parts you can sell your old part as banged up as it is to some other NL/V/U320 owner that doesn't even have that part.

I wonder if the "60hp" badge is that far forward on the fender on all V320s?

Maybe I shouldn’t tell you this, but I only paid $1300  aus for it

[Rusty gate]

The car is currently in transport as soon as I get my hands on it, I’ll start doing a full inventory on it. I was told it had been parked up for the last 21 years in a shed in central NSW, it has minimal rust. 

Lets see how we go
