A survivor!

This is the ‘one owner’ restoration project that you’ve been looking for.

I purchased the vehicle a few years ago off the daughters of the original owner who drove the car off the dealership in 1972. It was emotional. The car was well loved by their Mum and held many fond memories.

I had high hopes of the classic restoration and subtle mods to bring 'the Fonz’ into something that could be a daily driver or fully restored into a show piece.

Unfortunately, the ole cliché of a newborn baby, a demanding older kid needing a pony* and general lack of time and space, means that the time has come to reluctantly let it go. Ready to hit the road with:

Current WOF and Rego.

Running an A15 with 5 speed – runs super well.

Original matching numbers A12 available, with 4 speed.

Rebuilt front steering/ suspension.
I have put on larger brakes on the front. Original struts and factory looking hoses though..looks stock. All orig parts available.

It has new KYB shocks in the front with lowered (about 1.5-2”) Kings springs. Rear standard.

14” wheels with good offset. New Proxes 195/55/14 on rear.

Original wheels with 4x hubcaps avail.

Has Datsun Cherry seats in the front. Standard seats available (need recovering).

Interior mint.

Body has light surface rust (original paint) and some rust in the usual spots if you dig deep enough. Inspection recommended. I can take photos of specifics for those that can’t inspect for themselves.

The body has not been messed with, so you know what you’re getting. There is evidence of repairs in the two front doors, otherwise that’s it.

Have two new front guards that will go with the car.

40+ years of service records.

Genuine car, massive opportunity to rebuild a classic in your image or drive as is and enjoy.

And you guessed it, no swaps. Cheers.

*Pony might be taking it a bit far…but you get my drift.
