The Story
As documented on the original window sticker this car was delivered to Munson Datsuns located in Marion, IN. From the information gathered this car is a rare color combination of Racing Green and brown. It was allocated to the dealership for achieving sales volume. The owner of the dealership James R. Munson decided to keep the car for his son Ronald J. Munson. He told Ronald he would give it to him as graduation gift. It was displayed in the showroom until he graduated.
The exterior is in great original condition especially considering the car is almost 50 years old. It retains all the original sheet metal and paint. The original paint was tested and verified with an electric paint meter. The front windshield has an original inspection sticker from 1980. All of the exterior trim, rubber seals, drivers mirror, door handles, headlights, front bumper, taillights, rear bumper and emblems are also in excellent original condition. The car sits on the original wheels and the hub caps are in excellent condition. The wheels are wrapped with brand new Vredestein Sprint Classic 175 HR 14 tires that were ordered from Coker Tires by MS CLASSIC CARS. A set of vintage Western Wheel Turbine 14” wheels with Dunlop Sport A2 195-70-14 tires are included. These were the wheels and tires that were used on the car for many years. This car looks better than most cars that have been restored!
The original interior is in absolutely spectacular condition especially considering the car is almost 50 years old. It still retains the original factory plastic on the rear panels and seat belt holders. It also still has some of the original factory plastic behind the door arm rests. Everything in the interior is in working order such as the headlights, turn signals, horn, wipers, gauges, dash reading light, glove box light, cigarette lighter, rear window defroster, heat, power antenna and radio with signal seeking. This interior is untouched and in showroom condition!
The engine compartment is in great original condition especially considering the car is almost 50 years old. This engine compartment has never been touched cosmetically other than a good cleaning. All the original paint on the firewall, inner fenders, radiator support and under the hood is beautiful. The car is powered by the original matching numbers 2.4L Inline 6cyl engine that was factory rated with 150HP.
