Trim
KB10 was available in Deluxe and GL (Grand Luxury グランデ ラクジアリ) Trim levels.
Deluxe
Sunny Coupe: In Japan this was the DeLuxe & was the base model. It had a longer option list only because some of these options were standard equipment in the GL. The accessory list was the same as the GL.
Datsun 1000 Coupe DeLuxe: Offered in Australia only, these were pretty close in spec to the JDM DeLuxe model. Differences include 'some' Datsun badging as the deck lid emblem, & the grille emblem remained with the 'S' symbol from the original Sunny. NSW spec cars seem to have all come with a Tach, radio, two external mirrors, a heater & perhaps some other stuff, all of which were options in the Japan-market DeLuxe model. Other states may have varied the specs a little but the Aussie spec car was better equiped on the showroom floor than the equivalant Japan version. Japan cars had amber front park/blinker lenses while Aussie ones had white lenses. Everything on the brochure option list was available in Australia, including the wood rim steering wheel.
GL
GL trim level debuted August 1969 for the 1970 model year.
Sunny Coupe GL: In Japan this had the sporty steering wheel & a few other trinkets to tart it up a bit & it was available with a floor shift auto trans as well as a short list of options & a loooong list of accessories.
default GL equipment * tachometer * bullet-type fender mirrors * black-painted radiator grille * wood grain steering wheel * wood grain shift knob * black wheel cap * audible direction indicators
New color added: Silver
GL grille was unique blackout with GL black bullet mirrors
