B210GX Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Im not real sure of the year, it an early one. It has the arrow lights on the fenders. (68 69?) Car is very straight!!! Roof rack. It's been in a wrecking yard for over 20 YEARS.. the only thing missing so far .... needs an engine. all the emblems are still there even. could use a hood and a W/S. First time I talked to the yard owner he did not want to sell complete. stopped in on my way back from picking up a trans for my KA swap. figured I would see what he wanted for the Wagon rear.. well I asked if he was ready to sell whole yet. well I will be the proud owner of a wagon real soon. only pic that I still have 2 Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nice... Rare find :) Quote Link to comment
Labdork Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I bought a white wagon from a wrecking yard in Florence, CO one time. Straight bumpers, factory tach. It was a solid enough rig that after a DGV replacement, I used it to tow my 2dr from San Antonio TX to Portland OR. Saved the tach and bumpers, then sold it for $200 more that I paid for it! Gone are the days.... Good luck with your score!! Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Looks to be a 68. Nice find :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Has the older bumper, which is promising. Watch the rot(?) around the rear window, wagon hatches are hard to come by (as I'm sure you know by now haha) Quote Link to comment
H5WAGON Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Good thing that wrecking yard isn't that busy :thumbup: Should have metal hatch vents. :ninja: 1 Quote Link to comment
BadWagon Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Neat! mine was rescued from a wrecking yard too! Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Wow, I thought the days of finding a straight 68 dime in a junkyard were long gone. Drag it home as fast as you can before he changes his mind. That car has some rare parts on it. Quote Link to comment

Nice to know they haven't all been crushed. --carter It does not have a name.. that I know of anyway, its an hour south of me. I'll keep it a secret till this weekend :) Anyone know the width of a 610 wagon rear? H160 or H190? I believe its a 73 , he has one of these as well. Although its beat to shit! no windshield but I think the rest of the glass is good. Quote Link to comment

B210GX Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Stoppedback in Yesterday, while looking at onother yard. since it was warm and dry enough I figured I crawl around a bit.

I still can not get over how straight this car is.. calling in the morning. taking a trailer down if he aswers his phone.. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Man, you've been dragging this out since January??? That would be in my driveway by now. If you don't get on the ball I'm going to start searching google earth for junkyards south of Selah... :) 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 bet it get dented up trying to tow it out. Yeah what Hobbes said!!!!!!!! whats the hold up. I know owner dont call back. Typical Datsun guy. thats the way it is 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Looks to be a 68. Nice find :thumbup: '68 bumper, can't see the wipers. Probably is though. 73's had the h165. 74-76 had the h190. Through July '73 with the L18 motor were 3.889 H-165B rear ends. For some reason all 710 were H-165. Quote Link to comment

So my guess is the rest of the car is a 68. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 the lack of rear side markers suggest the same thing. 69 got the roundies then 70 on had the rectangle. Quote Link to comment

Lonestar Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Nice score man, you've found a very clean 68 wagon! Those wheels should fit no problem, they are just 14's right? Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 14 x 7's in the rear.. 5.5 up front. I have a full set of 7 inch wide Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 bet it get dented up trying to tow it out. Yes it did. F#$$# idiot pulled it into the damn Gate. It got the rear bumper, which in turn got the Quarter panel. It WILL survive You Jinxed it Banzai Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Happens every time. People selling old forgotten Datsuns don't give a shit. They never gave a shit. Never will. Glad you scored this wagon. What a find! Quote Link to comment
