[DATSUNS HOME]

This wagon has been in my family since brand new. My grandpa's brother bought it in 1977 from the dealer.

When he died in 1996 the car was put away for 4 yrs. and the came to me. I restored it completely, with new floor panels and fully painted it in polyurethane. We bored the original A-12 engine to accept 76 mm A14 pistons, so its 1272 cc's now. The head was slightly shaved (3 mm), ported and polished and has the bigger A-14 intake and exhaust valves. It also has headers and a 2" exhaust system and a 5-spd dogleg tranny
instead of the original 4-spd. I also installed disc brakes up front -since all wagons came equipped with all around drums. The interior was completely redone, and I installed a MOMO Race steering wheel that looks really nice.
