Listed for sale is my ultra rare, left hand drive, 1971' Datsun U521 pick-up. If you know Datsuns, you know how hard these are to come by; I don't know of another U521 in the states. Purchased as an all original survivor, this truck was restored in 2013 (in Costa Rica) and then imported to, California as of July 2016. This was my daily driver when I lived in Central America.
This Datsun received a rotisserie restoration
-Body was put onto a rotisserie, stripped, and painted.
-Chassis stripped and painted
-All rubber except ΒΌ pop-out windows have been replaced (glass and trim all original).
-Interior reupholstered
-Engine, transmission, and driveshaft, have all been rebuilt
-new OEM carburetor
-Much more.
Overall this Datsun is in exceptional condition, given its age, and where it's from. Although not perfect, it's still a phenomenal vehicle. If I were to rate the exterior, I would give it a modest 8/10, and the interior would also get a modest 8/10, I would give the drive train a solid 9/10. Fortunately this Datsun is from an arid region in Costa Rica, which is one of the reasons why it's still around today.
This truck starts right up, runs cool in the summer, is extremely reliable, and could be taken anywhere! I would however recommend changing King Pins and giving it an alignment. A new radio can be installed if you choose, as the cubby is empty.
This Datsun is a great weekend car, beach cruiser, or hobby car. Being that it's so unique, it could even be used as a great marketing tool for the right company.
Board,racks, and cooler not included.
Price is negotiable at $17,000 or considering a 240Z of equal value.
