My New Car...

[oscar32]

Hey all,

I'll get some pics up in the next day or two, but I'm now the very very proud owner of a Nissan 200B... Well, Datsun/Nissan.... sounds better as a Nissan though.

So, whats under the hood? Well, shes actually stock as a rock, and has as total of 67500 kms, and thats no typo. Even has the stocker hubcaps and everything works. No cracks in the dash - its like going back to about 1982. Was going to use it as a runabout, but its kinda too nice for that.

Am actually considering selling it on, there must be somone who want one of these things in good nick. ??

Either way, I'll be looking for a GTR soon.

yeah my runabout is a Nissan / Datsun 720 ute completly stock as had a perfect dash till i kicked it. It even had the stock radio and speakers in.

[oscar32]

Yeah, same deal here. EVERYTHING is immaculate, its just silly. It'll make a good cheap runabout

What year and colour is it? I almost want to buy it off you right now, but alas no money! I have a soft spot for the old 200Bs, my first car. Got pics?

Yeah how much?

[race_snooze]

I had a 200b auto about 5 or 6 years ago, the thing was a beast and in perfect condintion (except the cracked valve once that was fixed she woould cherp into 2nd) paid $200 for it.

[oscar32]

I paid $1500 with 8 months rego, newish tyres, parts (including a boss kit which I had a wheel for) and a full tank of feul

Given the condition, I was happy enough with that, all the other runabouts I was looking at were the $3500 - $4000 range.

So, its a 1980 200B GX, with brown cloth and white paint. 4 speed manual. Been in the one family for ever, (since new) never had a young driver I don't think. Only issue is the glovebox is cracked and stuck shut - was going to find one at a wreckers.

Its got a full history, and yeah. I can't imagine finding another one like it. I'll give it a wash over the weekend and post some pics up for ya's Even the hubcaps (which I took straight off!) only have one with minor gutter rash, the others are all perfect.

Stupid
