They only sold the Datsun 1200s from 1971 to 1973. In 1974 the model was changed to the heavier B210 because America initiated the energy absorbing bumper laws. 1974 was the only year for the A13 motor in America.

The sedan is the one for sale in your link. It is mostly coupe 1200s in the photo section and on the avatars. The coupe has a fastback design and the sedan has a notchback. There were no utes, station wagons or 4-doors sold in America.

The sedans rode much smoother than the coupes because of the difference in the way the rear shocks are mounted. The sedan shocks are straight up and down where the coupe shocks are mounted at an angle.

The sedan has a much more rigid body because of the extra cross bracing behind the rear seat. The coupe has a much more loose feeling compared to the sedan.

The grill in the sedan for sale in your link has a coupe grill in it. The sedan came with a stainless grill and the one in the photo is the plastic coupe grill.

The coupes were sold probable 8 to 1 over the sedans here in America.

When I bought my first 1200 new in 1972, it was the only sedan on the lot with about ten coupes. I have had two sedans and five coupes. I definateely prefer the ride and handling of the sedan but the coupe cuts through the wind much better. My stock sedan would top end out at 94 MPH and the coupes would do 101 with the 4-speed and up to 107 with the automatic. The sedan roofline is about two inches taller than the coupe making more headroom on the inside of the sedan and more aerodynamics on the outside of the coupe.

Which is better is up to what you want the car for. Both get over 40 MPG if driven accordingly.

Does this sound about right to the rest of ya'll?
