troubles buying a 1200 ute

Posted on: 2005/8/28 5:50
ive been looking around for a datsun since i lost interest in my sunny.... and i have found that i REALLY love the 1200 ute :D ive been around brisbane looking at a few and people are expecting me to pay 2500 for rust!?!?!? its unbelieveable... i kno they are rare and old etc.... but it just aint worth 2500 i reckon...( on most ive seen the body has been in bad condition but the engines are all fine). just wondering if anyone else has had this trouble when looking for a datsun that is around the 2000-4000 price range???
today im looking at a ute thats 3000 so hopefully this one is a goer  well ill keep yas posted wen i get my next car cheers, maztec

Well i Just found a Ute for 350 Dollars. Its not running but its all complete.
The only problem is that he said its a 70-71 longbed ( i wanted a short bed) and the emblems say datsun 1600 can it be a 70-71 with a 1600?..i thought all 70-71 were 1200's?...if im wrong feel free to school me. IM NEW to the datsuns. -Gus-Quote:

as far as I know there is no ute based on the 1600.
that ute in the ozdat feature pages has been made custom from a sedan. they did however bring out 520, 620 and 720. All with the L series 4 cly (I believe)

Hey maztec - Just be paitent mate...... I scoured the trading post / websites etc. for months looking for a suitable project ute. I ended up finding one with a bit of rust for $1000...... And wouldn't you know it, the week after I bought it there was one advertised "No rust, body only" for $500.
Good things come to those who wait.

yep am having the same trouble.One guy wanted 3500(firm) for one that had 4 rust spotsa dent in the rear quaters an a rear main seal gone!!
 i have seen a few good ones on ebay but it sold before i got to them. My only answer is you just have to pay more
