Pick a car, any car, and there is someone who loves it, regardless of conventional wisdom or popular opinion. And our automotive lives are richer and fuller because of this. Case in point, this 1976 Datsun B210 for sale on Hemmings.com. Once positioned as an affordable fuel-miser, it's exactly the kind of car that typically gets used up and disappears from the collective consciousness. But not this one, as it turns out. From the seller's description: All original, extremely solid, retains all factory equipment from new, Original window sticker, Runs and drives great, feels strong with no hesitations, rattles, squeaks, or fading inside. Not very many of these little datsuns left in this condition. $13,500

I have one of these! Want to buy it?

Everytime I see one, I am tempted.

Are you serious? Mileage? Location? You can PM me.

I remember those and those turtle shell hubcaps ,LOL

[Captain Peter Blood]

Great car.

[mylife]

agree

We did that with a Pinto runabout with the 2.0 engine. Shaved head, NE code high compression pistons, custom ground cam, redialed timing sprocket, homemade exhaust, a custom intake manifold that had a rack of Kawasaki 1000 bike side drafts with port and needle work done, and a pressure plate with stiffer springs. It was pretty fast and would outrun almost everything in our little town.

My ex bought that after our divorce. Bee and all.

Id druther have the Kawasaki KZ1000

did 130 mph on one of those with 2 people

[doorgunner69]

Yeah, but admitting to owning a Datsun was like doing that with a Yugo or Trabant.

Changing their name to Nissan did not help much.

[Openurmind]

Lol, I had a KZ900 up until about a year ago and tend to agree, they were fast bikes for the era. Many drag bikes were built with those as a base.

1968 Ford Cortina

Did that come in a 2-door? I think it did.

[Parmy]

I had a black, 1971 510. Best snow car I ever drove. Loved it.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Does it have to be 95-96? What if it is 98-99?

[Bikkuri]

That was my first car (blue).

[Mr.Unique]

I like the older style, but would consider a newer one.
