Massive Potential: Datsun 411 Wagon with Needs

I’ll come right out and say that I love the Datsun 411 Bluebird.  This tiny sedan was designed by Pininfarina and has a lot of very cool design details, including a pretty amazing curved dash.  The wagon body adds to this one.  Just note the left rear corner damage and amateur repair.  If you can get body work done well at a reasonable price, the car can be very nice.

The seller claims this has a recent engine replacement and runs well.  I have driven an automatic sedan and can tell you those are very, very slow.  The four-speed should help here, but the wagon body adds a little weight.  Don’t buy this looking for performance…

Here’s that cool dash.  The interior seems to be in very good condition and the manual trans is great news!

Again, the interior looks pretty good.

Engine does appear to have been painted, which helps to back up the seller’s claim it was recently replaced.  Why do some people fail to clean up engine compartments and paint ancillary components when engines are out??
