It's definitely a 79. Bulletproof little car, should be good for another 100k miles.

Need more pics, but given the severe rust (common), it's worth $500 (less if it doesn't run).

Get a can of "start your engines" and pour it in the tank. The gas has probably gone bad. Other than that the normal, check for spark & fuel. It should be a good little car for you. Brad

We need lots of pictures and details in order to be able to help you. The rust is bad but I have seen worse and considering you got it for free, you're not out anything yet. Figure out how extensive the rust is though before you start pouring any money into it. If it's bad, you own a parts car.

I've owned several of these cars. If it hasn't been too badly abused, you could easily get 200,000 to 300,000 miles out of it.

Just FYI...the 1979 B310 Sunny was badged as a Datsun 210 in N.A.
