I’m not sure I put this in the right place but here goes. A good friend of mine has a 1970 or 1971 Datsun pick-up in her garage that she needs to sell. I eyeballed it as best I could and it appears to be in great shape. It's a 4x4 with a good body and is complete as far as I can tell. The motor is out and in the bed along with other parts (previous owner was going to rebuild motor). I know it’s hard to speculate without seeing it but if I could get a ballpark or range of what it might be worth I would appreciate it. I’m told vehicle has a title (not in owners name) so a title search might be necessary. Either way it would be a great project or excellent parts source.
Thx for any help you can provide!

If you have the year right, it's a 521, but They never came as a 4x4. In fact, the 620 was never offered as a 4x4 from the factory. They were commisioned conversions. It's possible that the 521 could have been a similar conversion, but without good pics, I don't know that we could give you a definitive answer. Datsunaholic would know, or be able to tell you if you get some pics. I've never been a 4x4 guy, so I just don't pay attention to them. Sorry.
With the motor out, it will be worth more as parts, but certainly a lot more work try to piece it out. I don't know that it would be worth enough extra to make it worth it. If it's all complete and in decent shape, I'd say about $750...maybe a $1000 to the right buyer, but more likely, it's a bit beat so you're probably looking at $350-500 sold all together. Granted this is a complete guess without pics. If you had it running and driving, you'd probably be looking at $1500-2000....maybe more do to it's uniqueness. As always, if you're willing to ship, ebay would be the way to go.
I've only ever seen maybe 2 521's converted to 4x4...and that may even be one of them. Pretty hard to give value...there's nothing out there to compare it to.
