Hi I am looking for a Datsun 1200 ute registered/unregisterd little rust if possible am willing to transport to WA if outer state. Looking at doing up one as a project or will consider buying one in great condition. Email me is the best way to get a hold of us rosey351@bigpond.com, photos will be appreciated. Thank you

good luck mate - it took me months to find mine, and the previous owner to fall off the perch, for it to come on the market, and I had to have a deposit down the first day it was advertised...

Its worth the effort though.

What it you guys opinion is fair price for a licensed stock 1200 ute? Assume some minor rust...

I dont think it should be less than $3K if its licensed, running and not in immediate need of major surgery.

Its the ballpark figure I paid for mine, with std 1200, full zorst, elec dizzy, 120Y front struts with disc brakes, dual circuit master cylinder and a 60 series dogleg 5 speed and 2 sets of mags in the tray.

Rust is minimal for its age, but it needed a full front end rebuild, new carpets and a radio before i was happy to use it as a daily.

Hope this helps.

What's so hard about finding one? Do you have special requirements? Their are 13 Datsun 1200 utes on Carsales right now from $2500 on up. I had to wait four years to find even one for sale in my country and went two states away to get it.

We have what I like to call "ute" tax, very similar to "AE86" tax in that people want too bloody much for them cos some idiots made them a cult car!

I think it has more to do with the fact that its pretty much the only half tonne ute ever built, that you can still get parts for, and you can fix yourself.

I mean, its either a 1200 ute, or a proton jumbuck.

not much of a desicion really, is it?

I thought I might have paid too much but now all this makes me feel ok about paying $3500 (licensed, fully stock except disc brake front) for mine

$3500 great price ! Well done....

I would have paid it.
