My first Datsun

[Mop]

Just picked this up this past weekend. 1973 620 4spd. Needs some work but, I couldn't be more excited. It's been one of my dream cars/trucks for years and finally one popped up on Craigslist pretty close to me and I went for it. Only 76k. Runs and shifts very nicely. Needs typical bodywork but frame is very nice. Plans are to lower it a little and maybe find some nice rims (though I do actually like the original dish caps). Very excited to finally have on of these.

Thanks. I will get more pictures as soon as I can. This picture is showing off the good side, though. Drivers side got all the rot.

Here's a few more shots.

 

 The drivers side is the worst as far as the body goes but, hey, what would you expect from a NH truck?

 

Local parts store tail lights (was thinking of removing the 'this car climbed Mt. Washington' sticker but, if you think about it, a Datsun climbing Mount Washington is quite the accomplishment)








 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 I found this very interesting. My friend has a '70 521 with the same motor/transmission. His plate says it makes 95 or 96 hp. I guess they put individual hp numbers for each motor?

 This is really cool. Warranty booklet with the card that belonged to the (now deceased) original owner.

Have updated in a little while. Replaced the drivers rocker.
