Datsun 120Y/180B/200B/280C-300C

Not too many years ago, kids who got a licence also very often got a Datsun. Today, the numbers of decent 1970s cars have thinned and even 120Ys in reasonable condition have climbed past $5000.

A coupe in excellent order can sell at double that price. Bigger and once a family favourite, the 180B was also a rust magnet and many thousands went to the crusher before their time. Good sedan/wagon versions now typically cost around $10,000, although you might find a good 200B or even a Stanza for less. Two door 180/200B Hardtops are desirable but expensive: a 180B SSS at auction topping $22,000. Six-cylinder 280/300C sedans in the $5000-8000 range offer a lot of car for little money, however the Hardtops can make $20,000.
