Greeting all,
I used to be into 510's,but now I grown sick and tired of them.I think 1200 are cooler because they are smaller and sportyer looking.Coup or sedan I like them both.I would be
happy to own either one.Never the less it a great car through out.I wish had a 1200!
P.s. Anyone want to buy a 510? email me at Datsun51072000@yahoo.com.

I have a 1973 1200 coupe that I ve been thinking putting up for sale. Before you start jumping up and down with joy, you should know it it is all B-210 suspension, a-14 engine , brakes and
tranny. It has a beautiful 3 coat red paint job with 2 coats of clear. It has all new rubber seals (windshield, rear window door and trunk weatherstripping, etc.) It runs and looks great,
has 13" US mags, 155 80r 13" front tires and 205 60r 13 rear tires. The stock upholstery , seats are all there, even the headliner is refurbished with vinyl spray. I just got another bone
stock fixer upper 1200 coupe that is all stock and I want to restore it. I dont have room for 2 coupes in my garage, so the red one is going to have to go.You won't find a spec of rust on
it. I want $1,000 US for it but the price is negotiable. I live in Orange County, CA. If interested, email me at SJamesson@aol.com

I think the 120Y 'joke' thing may be only an Australian thing. I guess it all started when the 110 and 510 were replaced with the 210 and 610.

The 120Y can't be killed though! There are lots of them around and wrecking yards have many very good examples, mostly due to minor frontal damage, thus
insurance write-offs.

If I couldn't get a 1200 I'd have a 120Y probably, Just looking at Will's beast at http://www.datsunworld.com makes me want one. And all sorts are available in
Australia:
2 Door Sedan,2 door coupe,4 door Sedan,5 door Wagon. Maybe it was a case of 120Y overdose back in the mid seventies.

Whatever it is, I agree you gotta love all Datsuns...Try hating Skodas or something if you have to hate something!

Ok, I get your point and I hate to have to reply as I hate little bitching sessions as much as the next man.
Firstly let me point out that in my message I clearly stated that everyone has their own opinion, and we SHOULD respect that.
Secondly, in Aussie the 120Y was a popular car with many still around today, but when compared to a Monaro or GT they lack severly in the looks department, you ask someone here
about the 'ol Datto 120Y and you will probably get laughed at. That is my opinion please respect that, as I respect yours.
I also agree with the "not giving a shit" policy. Mate, I got bagged out something chronic in my 1200 Coupe when all my mates and people at college saw it.
Is that a 120Y?
No, its a 1200.
Well its still a Datto what a piece of shit!
I got my fair share, belive me. So I know what it is like to drive something you worship (and spent time and money on) and to have someone dish out the shit on it.
Whats this Coupe 1200, Sedan 1200 shit. You give me ANY 1200 and I would love it just the same as any other 1200.
This club doesn't need this sort of bickering. So lets both get over it. We have our own opinions and they need to be respected.
Hey, over here there is this FORD/HOLDEN battle. Im a Ford man but I know a good Holden when I see one. Im not some one-eyed red neck.

No hard feelings I hope,

Simon

No hard feelings Simon,and let me tell you ,after re-reading my posting,I guess I over reacted in the heat of the battle,which should had never happened ,because that is not
cool. I agree with you,lets forget it,and have fun.

Cheers mate.
Jaime

Thais is to inform everyone that my red coupe is sold as of today (Friday). Its not my place to say who bought it, but he is a member of this 1200 club. I hope he will be happy with
it and that he will now be a more frequent poster now that he has a Datsun 1200!
