I usually post my Dattos up here too since this is a pretty rad community and Im still a sucker for a nice hatch lol

Throwing out a feeler.... 6k/trade/trade+cash - located in the Portland, OR area.

This is a very rare 710 coupe, there are only 2 or 3 others on the road
and this one is by far the nicest one on the west coast and prob the US.
I have yet to find a nicer coupe.

Its been completely brought back from the dead with lots of rare factory parts and after market parts.
it was a bare naked shell when I got it.

The coupe still needs a few things completed,
its 99% there but quite frankly I just dont feel like doing it.
you will need a trailer.

Iv done a lot of builds this year and Im over playing with one.
would rather move on to something new I can get excited about again,
intead of having the coupe just sit.

Car is completely rust free
Floors/trunk/ect. all completely stripped and sealed in POR15
Fresh body/paint
Rare 1974 only, Coupe only "smiley" bumpers
Very rare factory tach
Corbeau seats
Nardi woodgrain steering wheel
DZ push button start set up (look it up on youtube)
Clean interior
280zx front struts on coilovers
280zx front brakes
Fresh built L20B
Electronic ignition
Custom cast intake for 4 bolt carbs
4 bolt round top Z car SU duel carbs
Shaved and ceramic coated exhaust manifold
Close ratio dogleg 5 speed
Brand new made in Japan Exedy clutch kit
Brand new IR alt
Brand new battery
New tires
Appliance mesh wheels
NOS 1973 Toyota Celica fender mirrors

and plenty more Im forgetting along with a bunch of spare parts.

needs a battery, clutch slave/alternator installed (have them, brand new, just dont have the motivation to do it)

its also smog exempt.

beautiful and incredibly rare classic Datsun, but Im just kind of bored and unmotivated. Time to move on to the next one.

Im open to a lot of trades, just want something I can drive right now.
Kinda sick of working on projects for a while lulz
 I banged out 10 customer builds in 9 months and am burnt out.

open to strait trades of equal value or trades/cash

PM some info on the SE

thanks man. its not a perfect show car but its more restored then most datsuns out there period.
(the aim for the build was building a nice clean fun daily that will last another 40 years)
and I can make the claim that it is the nicest 710 coupe on the west coast and prob the US (have yet to see any out east)

it was an empty shell with nothing but part of the dash and the bumpers.
I had to source every single last part for it other then that... which was a real bitch hahaha
but now its 100% complete and has some extras.
