Anyone here know any details or info about the Datsun Honey Bee? I know they were advertised in '75 and '76 - maybe other years I don't know. They have special stripes and have a little cartoony "bee" on each side. Was there any thing else different about them - specs or anything? I've seen white and yellow paint, only 2door sedans so far. Was this US only? Any production numbers out there?
By the way, the reason I'm wondering is it came up on the yahoo group that one of these was bought off ebay in almost mint condition, 27k miles, all original. And apparently it will or maybe has been converted into a drifting monster by the TV show "Monster Garage" (ya know the one where they destry a car on a limited money/time budget turning into some sort of monster). I think they're putting a 350Z engine in it. Kinda pisses me off as this model seems to be very rare and this one was in such nice condition. OH well - I'm not sure this is the place to bitch about keeping dats original ;)
Here are a couple of ads I found - fist one is '75 and second is '76.
