Sorry, didnt know where to post, but figured this area would know best what it is. its a ****ty cell phone pic but its the best i had.

i looked it up the best i could remember and i think its a datsun 210 but couldnt find any solid pics of exact tails. its something GT-5. either the b110, b210 or possibly another. guessing its a mid to late 70s car

 

Yeah dude It def has to be a Datsun, it has that classic body-style of on at least. I'm not very scooled in my Datsun knowledge. Looks like late 60s/early 70s body to me Cool car though, were did you get to see this thing?

 

Here it is: (VERY POPULAR CAR IN MY DAYS)


Exported as the Datsun 120Y and Datsun B-210 (in North America), the third generation (1973–1978) Sunny was extremely popular as it debuted during the gas crisis of the 1970s. It continued to be the fuel-economy leader in North America and one of the least expensive cars available. At the time body styling was popular with buyers. The American model's safety bumpers actually were said to "improve" the styling. One name in particular used for the American market 120Y was the "Datsun Honeybee". Although regular production in Japan as well as sales in most countries ended with the 1978 model year, the B210 series continued to be produced by Nissan South Africa through 1980.

The 1978 B-210 (American model) with 5-speed transmission was rated by the EPA at 50mpg highway fuel economy.

The 120Y was sharply criticized by magazines such as Wheels of Australia, which felt that it offered no true improvement on its predecessor, not surprising given that the B110 platform was carried over, but used a slightly revised A12 engine. Like some Nissans of this period, it tended to be overstyled.

The related Sunny Excellents continued as PB210 models, fitted with a 1.4-litre L14 engine. In 1976 Nissan changed the Sunny Excellent from a distinct vehicle model (PB210) to simply a trim-level option for the regular B210, now fitted with 1.6-liter L16 engine.[6]

Six bodystyles were offered: 4-door sedan (saloon), 2-door sedan, 3-door coupe, 3-door wagon, 5-door wagon and 3-door van. The coupe still retained fastback styling, but now featured a full hatchback door rather than the small boot lid of the previous generation Sunny. In Australia these same bodies were known simply as the Four Door Sedan, the Two Door Sedan & the Coupe. In North America, the wagon was not offered.

Road & Track was somewhat critical of the B-210 in their 1975 test [citation needed]. They criticized the "modest performance" of the "peppy" engine, but were impressed with its 27 mpg fuel economy. B210 pricing started at US$2849 that year.

US-market models were fitted with these A-series engines (years given are model years:

1974: A13 engine, 1.3 L (1288 cc) OHV I4
1975-1978: A14 engine, 1.4 L (1397 cc) OHV I4, various horsepower ratings from 65-85hp
In most markets, the B210 line featured as the only engine option a re-designed A12 engine. However, in the South African market they also featured L14 and L16 engine options, as well as special edition of B210 coupe badged as a 140Z and a 160Z. The 140Z and 160Z featured twin SU carburetors and a 5-speed transmission.

 

looks like a copy paste job but thanks for the knowledge. wikipedia wasnt much help, and i couldnt get a decent tail shot on google images. i saw it on US 101 in CA somewhere in the middle of the central coast. thats definitely it. i was so surprised cuz i just saw a huge nissan decal and race decals and nismo and ****, and automatically assumed it might be an old skyline. too bad.

 

Are you sure thats it? The rear window looks extremely different.

 

Almost looks like a 510.

 

the windows and size dont really match.....unless different model....
BUT IT IS A DATSUN!!!

 

It's not a 510. The 510 coupe looked like a sedan just missing doors.

 

Datsun 1200 Coupe, B110 Series. Use the wiki, its like the first picture
