Ran When Parked: 1974 Datsun Pickup with SBC
Remember the custom mini truck craze? This truck was apparently one of the many victims and was cast aside when another fad took over. This looks like a “needs everything” project; but the presence of a small block Chevy means the mechanical bits can be purchased at Wal-Mart. As such, getting it running might not…

UR Sylvia: 1978 S10 200SX Roller
The original 200SX was a stylized coupe built on the same platform as the B210/Sunny coupe. A family down the street had one of these when I was growing up, but these are rare finds today. That’s probably because most people considered them ugly AND they rusted away. Today, however, this is oddly appealing. Among…

1967 Datsun Roadster 7-fer
We’ve featured several two-fers and a few three-fers, but this is our first seven-fer. It’s also located about one hour east of my home town AND involved brown! The buyer of this lot gets seven roadsters, including two nice, complete cars, two closer to parts car status and three in between. A bunch of additional…

Quickie: Ad Wording Can be Funny
This 280Z has a lot of potential, but the seller made some comical errors and provided far too little information. Gems: “clean tittle” and “soild car” In other news, it looks like the steering wheel was too close to the surface of the sun. Click for Craigslist ad Somewhere in Orange County, CA? $2,500 Ad…

Buzz On Up To Fresno For This Honey Bee
Ah yes, the legendary Datsun B210 Honey Bee. As we document in a previous post, this was a stopgap measure to move a bunch of base B210s in yellow. For some reason, it continued for more than one year. This is still one of the best of the worst of “special” edition cars. The seller…

V8 Datsun 521
Yes, a 521 is a tiny pickup and, yes, this one has the power- and drivetrain from a 1990 Mustang GT. The seller has documented the build at the Ratsun forum site and the attention to detail and mechanical aptitude are strong here! One could not come close to building for the asking price if paying…

Epic Mural Somewhere in Tucson
Yes, somewhere in or near Tucson is a mural featuring an Isuzu Vehicross and a customized 1970 Mustang! Also, this ad serves as a classic example of the shameless use of a girlfriend or daughter in ad. Presumably, no males will complain about the shameless part of this ad and I also assume all Oddimotive…

Nissan Patrol Project
Here’s a rare-in-US 1969 Nissan Patrol with needs. These are hard to find in any condition. When they do come along, they’ve often been sitting outside at a farm for decades and have rust issues. So, the Long Beach location indicates this MAY be a good one. The seller says it needs a battery, but…

Gorgeous Datsun PL411
It’s no secret that we love Datsuns – particularly these early, Pininfarina-styled 411s and especially in wagon form. Back in October, we featured a red Datsun 411 wagon with fairly serious needs. Today’s feature is the same model in the same color, but appears to need absolutely nothing. Which you you prefer? According to the…

Our Most 70s Post in Quite Some Time
We’re fans of any ad that rightfully includes the “time capsule” quote and proudly calls attention to the presence of a Craig 8-track player and Muntz speakers. Yes, this is a full 70s custom built on a Datsun pickup in the heart of the Corvette Summer days. Click for Craigslist ad Riverside, CA $7,500 The…
