For those who want to see my Gloria KH330
This is the first day I got it


Till last Christmas this is how it looks

does your kb10 have air conditioning??? did you put it there or was it there wen you bought the car?

Well, thank you very much for the pictures as they answer a great many questions.

The front guards have the 'Datsun' badge & not the 'Sunny Coupe' one & this suggests that it is an ex-Aussie car. This is supported by the text, in English, on the vehicle ID plate.
The serial number, which is just visible on the same plate, [06?9?2 ?] tells me that it is a 1968* model, [see footnote] but the frontal shots seem to show the longer blinker spear, which is 1970 model.

The grille is from a 1969 or '70 model sedan or van.

That console looks like it fits very well, but it isn't an original KB10 item, so I wonder what it came from. It certainly looks the part, however, all Aussie KB10's came with a heater, & if this car still has the original, then this console would block all access to the controls.

The steering wheel is interesting as this is a Datsun 1200 GX item & it bolts straight to the shaft without problems, but the 1200's blinker canceling pins are wider apart than the 1000 models pins & these strike the original switch mechanism, which either prevents wheel rotation, making it hard to steer, or destroying the switch.
Obviously this problem has been addressed, but I wonder how this was done.

The ignition coil has an ignition resistor piggy-backed on it, but B10 models did not use them originally. They were first used on the 1200's, so I wonder if the ignition has been updated, or if this is just an ornament.

This is a car that has undergone a great many changes in its life, but if your Gloria is anything to go by, then it has found its way to the right person, & we who are KB10 fans will do what we can to help you make it right.

Oooooh yeah, Datsun KB10, .... the car you always wanted.


Edit
*Correction* If the serial number is lower than KB10 080001, then it is a 1969 'model' These were first released in September 1968, but Australia didn't see them untill sometime in the first few months of 1969. The 1970 model was made from July 1969 untill December of 1969.
The Coupe was made only in the 1969 & '70 models.

Welcome to the best Datsun club and the best group of people on the planet. Hope you enjoy being part of the club, I know I did.

WOW
You really know this KB10, Thank you very much for all details that you have described. I knew, I have come to the right place.
The VIN detail should be the most reliable information for this car. For your question about the air-con I think, it is install in Thailand as well as the console, by its look.
About the steering wheel is from 1200, obviusely, whole set of steering wheel comes with the A12 engine.
Thanks for every advise

The console in the Datsun 1000 looks like a B210 part.
