The Late 80s Puked All Over a 70s Datsun
The seller doesn’t specify and claims this is a ’75 model, but I’m pretty sure it’s a 1978ish 510. Bad news is the post-1975 model year would mean smog checks here in CA. Good news is this car appears to be in really good shape and has a clutch pedal, just with an interesting interior…

210 Times Two Equals 4:20
This is one of those funny times when two of a car not often seen pop up at the same time. In this case, it’s two Datsun 210 GX hatchbacks. Two 210s equals 420, so we recommend buying both. Both of these are fairly rough, but both sellers claim they run. One has been in…

Not Running When Parked
Here’s our second neglected Datsun 710 wagon post in one day. There’s no mattress, this time, however. “Not running when parked” is a classic seller quote. At least this hints at honesty. One must wonder how salvageable this car really is. Some day, I’ll find a 710 wagon in good condition! Click for eBay ad…

Mattress Included? Datsun 710 Wagon
The seller claims this car “should run” with some fuel priming. I think every car SHOULD run, but, as a buyer, I’m more concerned with whether it DOES run. $1,200 seems high for this neglected car, but the mattress and random crap inside the car might add to the value, if included.

This is Gloria. Don’t call her Cedric.
Many people know that the second generation Infiniti M offered in the 2003 and 2004 model years was a derivative of the Japan-market Gloria, which, oddly, had a near-twin called the Cedric. Roll the clock back to the 60s and this was the Nissan Gloria offering. This car offers a four cylinder engine and three-speed…

Are both the Sentra SE-R and NX2000 too normal for you?
If so, try this on for size: a AWD, four-door sedan version of the B13 Sentra SE-R in RHD. The seller calls this a Sunny SE-R Super Saloon, but that didn’t exist and the seller mentions it being ‘converted’. Was it ‘converted’ to SE-R specs, to AWD, to RHD or some combination of the three??…

Why import a real Skyline GT-R?
You can always have a terrible fake GT-R like this one. The seller calls this a ‘full convertion (SIC) to Skyline R33.” I wonder what a partial ‘convertion’ would look like. $6K without the turbo installed, eh?

Kei Car Sweetness: Nissan Figaro
These are pretty much legendary, so we don’t have to say too much. The biggest question is whether a CA title is possible. Methinks it’s not, as this is a 1991 vehicle. Presumably, that’s why the seller has it in CA under FL title. Not only do we love the car, we love the low-res…

Don’t call it the Nissan Petrol
Here we have a Nissan Patrol from the 1960s. While these are great trucks, it’s sad that the early once are the only ones the US market ever officially got. The Patrol soldiers on today as a sister product to our Infiniti QX56- errr – QX80 and past generations have served well in various UN-frequented…

The original Lil Hustler?
Long before the Datsun Lil Hustler of the 1970s, there was the 2nd generation Datsun truck, arguably the vehicle that put Nissan/Datsun on the map in many parts of the world, the US included. These were available with different beds and most were the ‘standard’ 320 with a separate box, just like most pickups and…
