Hello fellow 1200 aficionados, I'm Javier from Las Vegas NV. I recently purchased my 1200 coupe from a good friend of mine and was wondering if I got a good deal on it. I'm new to the world of Datsuns and really have no clue as to what my car is worth. I was hoping to get some insight here and hopefully put an actual value on my car.
Here are some quick specs:
1971 Datsun 1200 Coupe
1.8L Toyota 3tc motor/5sp trans
Holley side draft carb
Rear disc brake conversion
Leather BMW front and rear seats
280z Turbo wheels (swastika)
Coilover front susp
Custom sway bars
Battery re-location kit to trunk
Runs good..not great but good. Could use a carb tune.
Pictures can be found Here

P.S.
I paid 1,500 for it. US

Javier,
Welcome to the site. Looks like you didn't do too bad at all. Looks like a fairly clean little ride. I would have given 1500 for it too.

Thanks Kelmo.
I forgot to mention that this is a California car (no rust)
Also, the title is clean.

Trying to pick up another coupe myself.
No rust is always a plus

The seats are very interesting, what BMW are they from? Look like E30 seats, I'd be interested in knowing how much they have been modified to suit. Oh and $1500usd sounds like a steal to me, well done.

Wow That was a great deal. Looks very straight and a lot of the hard work has been done just needs a freshen up by the sounds of it. Wanna move over there for a few years.

I see a Puerto Rican style 3tc or 3tg turbo easily adapted.

Please more info on them seats, can you take a picture of the front and rear mounts. Do they look like they bolted right up?

from a quick look, you would be paying about 7 grand if not more in australia

looks like a good deal to me! looks good with the leather seats!
