The definition of "classic" car depends on whom your are talking to, but a common definition is "30 years old". So under that definition the first year B310 is a classic, but not the square headlight model.

Give it time...and enjoy the ride.

Lol the DMV in Issaquah tried to set it up as a "Clasic" when I went to register it. Might do it before the year is up so I can run it with the original plates!

Think I will start with the basics, new plugs wires, oil/filter, Distributor cap. Give her a compression test and go from there. Exaust is a bit rusted out as well, gonna take a look tomorrow, 3 day weekend, YAY

Thanks for all the input! I'm a chick BTW... and located in Washington, USA.

Still trying to figure out exactly what I've got, here is the plate:

You've got a good car there. I had a B310 with A14 & 5 speed. About 38 mpg at 80 mph with everything stock. Drove it 285,000 miles. Was still running good when I sold it.
I'll say the more stock you keep it the less trouble you will have. Could put in A15 engine. Would bolt right in. I have a 1989 Nissan Sentra with 1600cc, throttle body fuel injection and 5 speed. Is overhead cam with 3 valves per cylinder (2 intake, one exh). Very quick car, would run circles around any stock "A" series pushrod engine. Has 287,000 miles on it and got 50 mpg on a 600 mile trip a couple weeks ago. Might take some converting to get engine block to match up to older Datsun 5 speed. Would be a quick car and good mpg too.

I like them, I had one once it was a piece of unroadworthy crap. Somebody had bogged up the rust in the chassis, didn't know until it fell out.
Still was a fun car.

You can do whatever you want to it. It has no value as a "classic"


bite your tongue mister! to me they are classic and an awesome car, much can be done with them with the right moola. all i would do is either get an a14 or a15, 5 speed manual, paint job and lower. That is all! hahaha
