All,

I am in the market for a good looking 1200 sedan or early 510. Must have good paint, no rust, straight body, and need nothing (or nearly nothing).

I am swimming in Datsuns, but none are pretty enough to park at work at my luxury car dealership job. So - I am looking for a little gem to drive every day that wont scare away the customers.

Ideally it would be a 1200 sedan with a CA18DET or 4AGE/ZE swap, hidden intercooler, and megasquirt conversion in some dark gray or silver. Tinted windows, S13 front suspension, 4 spot calipers, a little camber and castor, rack conversion, urithane bushings, LSD rear with disk brakes 4 link and coilover conversion, brake proportioning valve, Koneig rewind 15" wheels, welded steel flairs, some nice seats and MAYBE shaved handles with remote entry if you feel like cooking with fire.

Of course, ideal is not usually reality so let me know what you've got..

Can arrange pick-up or shipping in western US.

I will spend up to $4500 for the right car. I am a full fledged Datsun freak - qualified and worthy to inherit someones love affair. I might even sell it back to you after my sedan project is done!

Check out the list of 1200s for sale in USA.

Six last month
five already this month

And many more from previous months that haven't sold yet.

Wow, i dont know about in the states, but you would be lucky to get a CA 1200 half finished project for that coin in Australia. I think you will need good luck to find such a car

Ok, I was really hoping I wouldn't have to point out that the description of the "ideal" car was a joke.

I am truly looking for a daily driver in good condition, but also realize that I can get that - and probably just that - for $4500. The long winded dissertation was meant to be ironic.

One comes to mind: that nice yellow 2-dr sedan with chromed A12 engine down in Portland for $3500

What now?

Did not see that one.

This one:


Ol Yeller

The car looked great in person: Paint, interior, etc.

But why don't you re-spray Ol' Blue? A nice shiny paint job and re-chromed hubcaps will make it look nice.

And you konw it's a good 'un from the bowing worshippers out front!

I think there is a 1200 here in vancouver for 800 bucks

Blue is in great shape, but blue is going to be stripped bare and under heavy sedation in my garage when I need something to drive to work. :)

One for work, one for play!
