Your humble host has had he pleasure of driving a pl412 with the Borg-Warner automatic. It was fun in a sick and twisted – and SLOW – way. This older 312 has a three-on-the-tree, so ought to be somewhat closer to being able to get out of its own way.

Up For bid is an original 1964 Datsun PL 312. It has 48,520 Original miles, most of which were accumulated behind an RV. Everything works including the cigarette lighter. This car has been stored in a barn the majority of its life when it was not on the road. We did install an electric fuel pump as the original one is no longer working correctly. I hope the pictures can do the talking as it does show some signs of wear, the upholstery has started to come undone, and there is a small dent as pictured by the rear passenger door. I have included a small video, so have a look, hopefully you can get a better feel for the vehicle by watching. Please ask any questions, and I will answer them the best I can. happy bidding.
Check out the video of this car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqFLRmEv-2U
