Most Datsun pickups from the 60s and 70s were standard, two-seat affairs with separate beds – much like almost every other pickup out there. There were a few oddballs, though, including the Sunny Ute we previously featured and today’s U620. This is the Ute version of the 620 pickup and arguably the coolest (and weirdest) Datsun pickup ever made.
It’s never been clear to us whether any of these Utes were originally sold in the US, but some have certainly made it here. This U620, however, is not one of those, as it is in Costa Rica.
The seller lists mileage as a bit over 250K, but we’re not sure if that miles or kilometers. That’s about all we know about the car, other than the claim that it is “running great.” The seller recommends direct contact for details and so do we.
If the import costs aren’t insane, we think the $5K opening bid isn’t crazy for a truly unique find like this. It’s even arguably useful – or at least as useful as a Subaru Baja. Aren’t all vehicles measured against the Baja?

Yes, folks, the El Camino was noticed outside the US.
From this angle, this could pass for just a lifted car with some odd styling choices.
Another cool angle! Front end is pure Datsun tuck.
One more look.
Here’s a shot of the bed – it should be useful for several bags of compost or a few kegs.
Interior is pure Datsun truck, but the seats look to have been replaced.
Things look clean under the hood and the seller claims the truck runs and drives well.

As soon as the car leaves the port in Costa Rica I will provide the tracking number of the container or vessel, and before the car gets to the destination port I will release the waybill once the full payment of the car is confirmed. The buyer will responsible for every custom and importing costs or arrangements in the US.
