THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new ownerat NO RESERVEis this unique classic 1978 Datsun B210 two-door sedan!
Finished in light blue over navy blue this California BLUE LICENSE PLATE classic shows just over 77,300 miles on its working odometer. I am told it is accurate but I cannot 100% verify this. This cute little Nissan...I mean Datsun...sports a very good running 78 horsepower 1.4 liter inline four cylinder engine mated to the factory 3 speed automatic transmission. It features original reclining bucket seats, original wheel covers with new tires, many new under hood items and new exhaust, working radio and the original factory owner's manual!It is being sold with clean and clear California title!
Offered here at NO RESERVE, this is a fabulous find, for about the cost of THE SALES TAX ALONE ON A NEW SENTRA!
THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this little Datsun has definite patina with a capital P! While it looks to be very dry and fairly rust-free, there are many imperfections like missing bumper corners, broken trunk lock easily opens though], along with fading and sprayed touch ups on what appears to be all original body panels and correct under-hood parts. The engine bay is tidy and correct. The paint finish has an almost "art car" clouds finish to it. Leave it as is, restore it or......?
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this '78 B210 is very original and fairly tattered with a bit of heat cracking atop the dash, missing dome light cover, faded, torn and missing carpet pieces, etc. It does have working horn, blinkers, gages, odometer and radio. It is intact and not a bad candidate for a new carpet set and seat upholstery.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1978 Datsun starts fairly easily [a little cold-blooded carb] with strong running engine, properly shifting transmission and solid braking. The steering is quite tight and the suspension is solid and free from rattles or clunking with very good tracking. Even will all of it's patina this old B210 is still a cool and much attention-getting classic cruiser! Check out the test drive video here:https://youtu.be/CW8DxMvh2Zw
