BARN FIND DATSUN! Sitting For 2 Decades! Will It RUN & DRIVE? -- RSG 

Those are AWESOME cars!! Rear Wheel drive and light as a feather!!

30:22 Us big guys and small cars. amirite? Great channel, I like the relaxed no BS drama work and you got yourself a sub! Looking forward to the derby vid.

👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! This was definitely one of the easiest first starts I have ever watched. Seems that it really wants to live. I love nearly everything that is green. I absolutely like this car (and not only because it's green). On our former family property once was a Datsun/Nissan dealer and shop. Therefore I know pretty well, how good the engines, gearboxes respectively drive trains had been. Rust was the worst enemy of course. This car wants to live and it is definitely a good daily driver, even nowadays. Not much fuel consumption and very manageable technology. Tires are cheap too. I really hope, that there will be a second part or even a series about this cute car. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.

Those were pretty popular back then. You saw a lot of those, Corollas and VW Rabbits. There was a package on the B210 called the "Honey Bee" which i think was an attempt to add interest to the most stripped-down, economical B210.

Japanese engineering at it's best! 40+ MPG all day long! I had a 74 4 door B210 in High School, awesome on gas, back in 78-79 when gas went from 48 cents to over $1 a gallon. I worked at a full service gas station making $1 an hour as well. Good old days, reclining seats and drive in movies, many babies were made that way!🤣🤣🤣

This thing is awesome we love these old Toyotas and Hondas from the '80s!

I knew she'd go! Datsuns always go. My mother had an '81. When it acted up, she'd smack it with a hammer and it would go. Wicked little car.

Cheap bushings will fix the shifter flop

My dad has the sedan nonhatchback 78 b210. I'm planning on restoring it. (Sat since 2000~)

I'd rather have the Datsun vs a Torino anyways

Another from no nonsense know how… this was a pretty cool deal. Can you retitle it as a driver now or how does that work… I know PA can be a TOTAL PITA about this stuff

LUV LUV LUV SUPER NICE C AR HAD SAME THING IN 1986 THEY RUN REALLY GOOD & LAST FOREVER

Why don’t all of the mechanics on RU-vid have remote starter switches, buy one or make one

I want to buy that car from you. I had a 78 B210 GX in dark blue. Just loved that car.

This was my first car and although I tried, I could not kill it. It’d be great to see a full restoration.

80 hp is actually perfect for most new drivers. My first car actually was a 73 gran torino fastback.

I had a 78 b120 GX Plus for about a year in 1988. It was the same green and in rough shape from previous owners. I used i to drive to work in the Idaho desert and would get 50+ mph. It was a fun car to drive and it cruised at 70 mph nice and straight. It had a 5 speed manual with 1st gear located "in and down" with reverse "in and up" where 1st was on most normal transmissions. I remember accidently shifting to R at a stop lights a few times waiting to go. Such a fun car to wrap up the revs and shift.

They had 6 round tail lights here in my country they were called datsun 140Z/ 160Z/180Z coupe

Funny my Datsun B210 is a 5speed manual and has a buzzing sound when you put it in reverse. I didnt hear urs buzzing when in reverse

Good runners drove one to work for years will run at high RPM dependably it was also green those hub caps used to have black inlay

Id love to see this restored. So hard to find these anymore.

I had a D-B210 I. Loved that car . I got 36 mpg when I owned it. Great car.

Glad you got it running & driving. I'm still searching for a B210 myself. Thanks for posting

How I wish I still had my ‘77 B210 hatchback, brown exterior, brown carpet and beige seats… California emissions, so I got 45-50 mpg. I sold it in @ 1982 as I moved close to downtown Minneapolis in 1981, and it was mostly just parked at the curb. Loved the lines and ‘those taillights’!

I miss my 77 hatch I’d love another

Glad to see it running and driving. I love the Datsun B210's. I've had five of them. They are great little cars and reliable. The only complaint I have with them if the driveshaft berrin goes out you have to replace the driveshaft. That blue light on the dash is a rear window defogger. I had a friend that special ordered hers back in 1978. It was a 1978 GX model with automatic. It was the light rust color with light brown vinyl interior. It had the same stripes as the one you have but they were a different color than yours. You are very lucky to find that car. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Happy motoring in it.

A B210 is magic. Learn so much on that simple car. A 14 engine can double horsepower with a good but radical cam and cars but would need compression using flat top pistons and shaved heads to about 10.1 compression . More bettet😆 Have fun. Wiki Datsun 1200. Same family. And 80 or so 310 had IC distributor. 2 wires . One to coil jeg the other to ignition plus

My neighbors had one just like it, BRIGHT metallic green with tan interior (and carpet); they must've liked it because after having a baby they replaced it with an '81 Datsun 210 SL wagon (that one was white with blue interior).

I'm sure a lot of people know Nissan used the name Datsun to sound more American to new buyers here. In the 1980s I managed a tiny car rental agency in Maui and I maintained 12 of these cars among other cars. They were pretty gutless but very reliable

I learned to drive in that very same model back in 1978, then when I came to the states, I bought one in good shape in the 1980s, I should had kept it, those things run forever and they are easy to work on and repair.

Hello from the no nonsense know how page. I saw that he gave you a shout out... Thought I'd come check out your page.

Wow, sold at Key Pontiac-Datsun-Yamaha-SkiDoo (later on Key Pontiac- Nissan) on Rt 512 (owned by the Gulick family). They had that Key logo all the way up till the dealership closed. My father was a service adviser for over 20 years there and my first "real job was there as a quicklube tech and this car kinda stirs the feels a bit knowing my dad may have even scheduled service on it back when. Key is now gone, Its now one of the star auto malls Please Let me know if you want to let it go, i will be interested. or if you want parts i have lots. I am glad you dont wanna wreck it if you want one to wreck ill trade you my 1975 2 door Sedan B210. I have it all stripped down was planning on rebuilding it. I fit in these just fine :) Im in Allentown

Sweet, unique little car. I like it.

The GX have a high competition head. You need the 63A dogleg and you'd have a ripper

Owned a B210 fastback like this yrs ago. Good little car.

Yeah, best bet is to disconnect the fuel line & let the pump push out all the old crap into a jug (and not your carb).

The peacock on fuel line looked closed

I would daily this car!

I wonder if that isn't the engine that is a popular replacement for the Bug EyE Sprite and MG Midgets? of the 60's

These Datsuns are sweet. So easy to work on. I got a 79 210 B310 and it didn’t run when I got it either. When I did get it running it just purred lol. Did an auto to manual swap as well

I will buy it if you want to sell it!!

Are you ready to sell? If you are what do you got to have for it.

I would like to have that car as a winter beater.

We are Driven.
