*****************
That's right. I bought a new 521 pickup back in the year 1973. It was a year old model made for Calif. Apparently it did not sell there, so it was shipped to South Dakota where I bought it. I ended up selling it under preassure to a relative for $200. What a bad choice.
Also I bought a new 1979 Datsun 810 coupe in 1980. I still own that baby which is still going strong.
Nowadays I'm working on a Datsun 620 pickup. I wanted another 521 but they are scarce as hens teeth.
Oh yes, I'm a newbie here as I joined your ranks yesterday.

Not only did I forget the Stanza, but like you, I also own a 1987 D21 KC. So far I still have enough building to keep 'em out of the weather.

Sounds like a nice stable there. I just wish I knew how to hook up the emissions crap on the truck so I could get it back on the road...

Welcome to NICO! 
We also happen to have a 620 in our stable. What are the plans for yours? You putting it back to stock or swap?

To Nissangirl:
Plans for the 620 are undecided so far. Am leaning toward putting it back to stock. Winter is creeping up fast here in the Dakotas and I don't have a heated floor. Of course many parts could be taken off and done in a vertical position.

Convert to 4WD and make it your winter daily driver.
