2022 Market Review - Datsun Bluebird/1200/1600/Sunny

Everyone seems fine with paying big money for Datsun 1600s and the prices of excellent, authentic sedans remain above $30,000.

The shock comes though when similar amounts are asked for good examples of the cute 1200 coupe, one of which was recently offered at $35,000. Sedans and wagons (1000 and 1200) are still around and not too expensive, however demand for 1200 pickups (utes) remains strong and some sell at more than $20,000.

There are benefits to salvaging and restoring low-priced survivors though, with a lot being modified and boosting the prospects of stock examples.

Early Bluebirds are historically significant cars and low values hard to understand, especially when Sunnys and Stanzas are pushing past $10,000.
