Legendary and amazing vehicles (see Nissan) Made up until the 80's.
Most renowned datsuns include Zcars and Datsun
510's, Zcars from 68 to 78 most specifically (240, 260, 280z,
280zx) and the Datsun
510 from '68 to 73, in 2 door, 4 door, and 5 door stationwagon.
Datsun 510 definition would include a small, boxy economy car that with little money, effort and creativity, can whip almost every street-rod honda for about the price of a carbon fiber rear wing.
Zcars came with 6cylinder motors almost identical in nature to the 510's 4 cylinder 1.
6L engine.
Fivetens (510's) came with fully independent suspensions and front disc brakes, rear wheel drive, and are a common car for auto crossing and
road racing.
