hi all.
My name is alex, I used to have a 1975 Datsun 120Y coupe, it is now in peices and I am trying to sell them so if any1 wants to buy some dont hesitate to email or call me.
My car used 2 be a daily driver for 2years, then it was stolen from me and found 2months later, when I arrived to pick the car up it was ridden into a tree
The cars driver side door, fender, engine rails, and front end was gone. The car started so I drove her to my grand-monthers paddok not knowing what to do with it, 8months came by and the car was collecting dust and getting rusted by the day.
Since the car was not at any use to me I had to get rid off it and tried to sell it. I put a new door on it and removed the side fender. The car had been sitting on the side of the road with a for-sale sign for 2months. All i wanted was $150, and I didnt even get that! I came back to the car a 2months later and discovered that the cars new door's window has been brocken, and the Altenator, Radiator carberator and caset player were stolen
I was furious with this car, it caused me so much head-aches that I wished the police never found her!
My gran-parents were getting angry that this junk is sitting in front of their home for 3months and told me to get rid of it. I came to the car and painted 2 stripes ontop of the car and bonnet. I thought maybe some kids will want it as a bush-bomb so I tried getting their attention....Nothing happened!
Finally I picked up the phone to get a 'free car removelist' to come and pick it up....again, no luck. They said that because the car was not complete and was out in the paddok, they would chage me $75 to throw it away! I slammed the phone down!
Later a week has gone by and an old guy owning a Datsun 1200 Ute rang me up, he wanted to know the condition of the motor. I told him that the motor needs a tune-up and its missing things like the Altenator, etc, etc, etc. He said that his old 1200 engine is tiered and he doesnt want to re-build it. We came to a deal where he gets the motor, and I take off bits that I want and sell them, he payed me $50 and the car was gone, (after i took all the bits off it)
I took most of the good bits off, but I left a good front seat and rear seat. The best part I left on the car was a 5spd transmission. I know the 5spd is not the standard transmission type, `dont bother asking me what barnd it was because I have no idea. I bought the car and it had a 5spd.
I took off the cars bumpers, windows, tail-lights, head-lights, The datsun 1200 grill (which I had to make modifications to, inorder to make it fit), panels, and tailgate.
Most of the parts are now sold!
I have just sold some on ebay. 2bumpers went to a guy in L.A. that goes on this site.
I have currently got the following parts:
tail-gate (boot/trunk)
back quater windows
middle-quater windows
datsun horn
and thats about it, if any1 here wants them I can ship them world-wide and I accept bank depisit and PayPal. Make offers on them because they have to go!
Anyway, I best be off, I will be checking this forum now and again, but if you really want to talk to me call me on:
0401684104, email me on:
eleanor_mustang@fastmail.com.au
or i can arrange a time to see me in person if you are in the Melbourne area.
I live in Australia!
Thanks for reading!

Jesus mate,If you have a 5 speed g/box I would have just put that in the paper for 800 bucks and when the twenty people turned up to buy it I would have then mentioned that they also get a free 120Y.
Sorry mate but you ripped yourself of bigtime.
I feel your pain brother

I want about $5 for the horn.
When I had my datsun, all I got was Sh!t from people, either its a crap car, or its a gay car...(they werent saying that when I left them behind at the traffic light )
The transmission was in fairly good condtion. I had NO IDEA its worth that kind of casH!
WOW!
Ohh well, as far as I know, the guy took out the engine and threw the rest out to the wreckers, damm lucky wreckers!
Ohh well, life goes on....
Any one wanna buy any parts?
I also have a RESTORED rear panel that goes around the tail-lights which is in perfict condtion and has the origional Datsun 120Y sign.
