And also 1000's, especially kb10s. They were only sold in Japan and Australia, so were rare straight off the production line! Imagine them in 10 years.

i think it's happening now. lots of people tell me about how they used to have a datsun 210/ or their friend / parents, etc, and how cool it was back then, then they see a nicely restored one and hey wish they hadn't sold it for $200 when they were 19 and wanted a cooler car.

the old economy cars are getting chewed up at a very fast rate, the datsun 1200/b210/210's are going to be very rare in a few years.

In the course of a conversation with a Datsun buddy we were speculating that it's entirely possible 1200's will be more sought after than other Datsuns since they are not as common as 510's and 240Z's. Of course we also joked they may remain the obscure and least popular Datsun for the next 50 years (no one's out there racing PL210's or 410 sedans)

So what do you guys think , my personal opinion based on this years track experiance is they will go way up in stature. (every event I went to this year I was greeted with "oh cool a 1200 , my dad/mom/cousin/buddy had one) Not to mention I had a offer of stupid money for my car last month.
