I've wanted one of these for as long as I can remember. in my opinion this has more of an interesting body shape than say the 510. it looks more like a Japanese mini muscle car especially the fast back version.
the words "original" and "survivor" come to mind here. no china-knockoff retro wheels, empty bumper support sockets and stance mods on this little guy... yet.
i credit/blame the inherent ugliness (fanboys will say it adds to the quirky charm) of all post-510 Datsuns for their lack of appeal to the common bandwaggoner. if you really think about it, Nissan didn't model their disgusting IDX concept after the 510 so much as they did this thing with its odd angles and weird roofline. they dropped the ball making a faux-flared Nismo concept when they could have made a new honey bee.
Best of OPC.

Love these old vitamin cars!
The last time I saw a B210 was about 1999. They rotted so badly up here in Ohio.
my sh*tluck coffee mug just got cracked. i need to see if shad can get me another one.
No lie, those black Cragar Soft 8s actually look really good on it.
