Draker Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 27 datsun/Nissan 720 pickup. That was probably 8 months ago. If the question was when did you get your second Datsun, the answer would be, tomorrow. *fist pump* 3 Quote Link to comment

wildmaninid Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well we had 2 Datsun 620's at my house, and my dad always said the 79 was mine. I bought my first Datsun during the summer of 1993 for 400$, I was 12 years old and had a really successful lawncare and landscape business, and I bought a 1980 Datsun 720 longbox with the l20b. It had a blown headgasket. I fixed that truck with my dad and he drove it until I turned 14 and got my license. Quote Link to comment

arizonajones Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 What was the Datsun that got you into Datsuns? I'll start: I just got my first Datsun and I'm loving working on it. It's a 1980 720 King Cab pickup. Last year of the L20B. I've owned it a whopping 6 weeks... I've been a VW guy most of my life but I could see this starting a new obsession. 1 Quote Link to comment
