If i had that money i would look at, it might not be long and the sss will be a thing of the pass, anyone know how many are still on the road, i think about 800 were built

most SSS's ive seen have been at wrecking yards, underneuth other cars so they pretty much become useless after that . apart from that i have seen 2 in Christchurch. what were the factory specifications of those beautys

Ok...let me correct a few things here.

####ty old slow aggy utes are good for B&S balls. If anyone uses a datto ute for a B&S, I'll cut their balls off!!!

And city boys, you ain't missing out on much!!

And the girlies....well, they aren't very classy girls. More like glorified bush pigs!! And a lucky fella's ute...try about 10 unlucky fella's utes throughout the evening.

Its not a bit like spring break, sorry!!!

Ive got to agree with Madtimo on this one...I went to a B&S at Hawkesbury Ag College and was told it was formal attire. So I wore my grandfathers formal suit...it was an heirloom and in exquisite condition.
Halfway through the night these idiots with food coloring were spraying it around and consequently got me....and ruined the suit So that started it.....I got pissed off and went for him...I havent seen the suit since.

And whats with all the girls...formal dresses and Baxters or Dunlop Work Boots???

I gave it a second chance and went to one in Cowra but still wasnt impressed. Didnt get in a fight in that one though.

From what i can remenber, the factory spec,s for the sss were that thay had a set of 5, 12 inch trident mags with 175 70 12 tyres and datsun center caps, black bonnet patchers and were also painted black around the windows at the top of the doors, sss badges on the grill, glove box door and on the rear, high backed seats, console with rev counter in it, deep racey stering wheel with datsun centre, 4 into 2 into 1 flows, mild cam, twin dellorto carbs with big metal air box/filter. Fractory options were spot lights and front and rear spoiler. I havent seen one in Chch for a long time. There is a lemon yellow and black replica getting around, it has white 14 inch minilight mags but thats the only one iv,e seen. In fact its knot that offen you see 1200s, 120ys on the road at all anymore. Jas

theres mostly 1200 sedans in chch, ive only seen 3-4 coupes and 2 very rusty 'from what i could see' 120y's but....ive noticed theres interesting arising in datsuns here, aspecially within teenagers. good to see

Well, when i put mine back on the road there will be one more. I,m thinking bright green paint, black bonnet patchers, 15 inch wheels, a14 or a15 Looking forward to driving something classy agian

nice, keep us up to date . ive been working on my why almost a year now, almost nears its end in restoration, only little things to do here and there. Do you have any pics of your dat?

My 1200 is not much to look at, for now anyway.
I have got a digi camera but my computer is,not usb compatible. I will pull finger and organize myself so that the rest of the boys can see my progress

Welcome to the site , I too was happy to find it. I sold my 1200 racer about 5 years ago becuase I had a very fast Sports racer , how dumb was that. The only thing that went faster than the car was money out of my wallet. So lucky for me I was able to buy the car back a year or so ago. This site got me inspired to clean the thing up it was fairly tatty. I had an ace fabricator friend install aluminium interior bits and dash. I use mine for Vinatage races as well as an upcoming Tarmac Rally. Now I would love to have a ute but they were never imported to the States.
