The Datsun family is growing
With any luck, there will be two Datsuns in my garage tonight. If all goes as planned, I will be driving home a 1971 521 w/ 34,000 original miles. Looks like I'll need to join the Ratsun boards now as well. She's a real looker.

That is cool. My Grandfather had a '71 in that same color, when I was a kid. He used to take me fishing in it. Good times. Enjoy it!

I bought it. The four drum brakes are scary. My older Roadster feels like a race car now, but man is this truck cool!

Re: The Datsun family is growing
A few pics after I got it home. My mind is melting over all the things I want/need to work on.
The funny part about Datsuns: you can get two of them, plus one normal car, into a 2 car garage.
