The car is finished in Datsun Red/Orange (110) and features chrome bumpers with override bars, rear window louvers, and a driver’s side chrome mirror. The seller states that the driver’s side front fender was repaired, and the paint on that panel is now faded. Rust is present around a rear dog leg, and additional corrosion is noted on the rear decklid and below the battery tray.
Steel 14” wheels wear factory covers and are mounted with Cooper Trendsetter tires installed under current ownership. The brake system was overhauled by the seller with rebuilt calipers and a replacement master cylinder, pads, rotors, shoes, wheel cylinders, and lines. Additional work is said to have included replacement of the sway bar end links as well as the front shocks, ball joints, bearings, and tie rods. The rear shocks are said to need replacement.
The seats and door panels are trimmed in white vinyl upholstery while contrasting black carpets line the floors. Equipment includes a center console armrest, a locking glovebox, a wood shift knob, and a Hitachi AM/FM radio. The driver’s seat is torn, interior panels are discolored, the headliner is sagging, and interior plastics panels are said to be brittle. The air conditioning components have been removed, though the compressor and condenser brackets are included in the sale.
A faux-wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 11k miles.
The 2.4-liter inline-four was factory rated at 150 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque and was rebuilt during current ownership. The dual round-top SU carburetors were reportedly refurbished by Z Therapy, and additional work is said to have included replacement of the following components:
Pistons, rings, and bearings
Seals and gaskets
Rocker arms and shims
Timing set
Yoes Racing cam/rocker oiler
Turbo oil pump
Refreshed distributor with electronic ignition
Ignition coil
Heater hoses, heater control valve, and radiator hoses
Re-cored copper radiator
Thermostat and thermostat housing
Battery, tray, and hold-down
Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, which is said to have received a replacement clutch, resurfaced flywheel, and refreshed clutch cylinders during current ownership.
