- 1977 Datsun B210 Junkyard Find. So for those that were wondering if I had made a video on this little gem of car, here she is in all her glory. This 77 Datsun b210 hatchback had this eye catching color to her that just drew me in. Well that and the fact that its just a cool looking little hatchback. I refer to these little imports as " unsubscribe specials " because every time I drop a video on one, a few subs decide to head out 😆. Oh well cant please them all.

We had that cold weather this past weekend. I stopped by my garage to put something away and I couldn't wait to get back into the car. It was like a raw November day in April. That recall sticker was supposed to be stuck to the door jamb or under the hood to show compliance with the recall, but apparently, it was handed to the owner and they just put it in the glove box. LOL. I think it was issued in 1983 based on the "83V" number at the front (with V being for voluntary).
Yep, that's the VIN. It is H for 1.4L A14 engine, L for left hand drive, B210 for the model/chassis type and the rest is the production sequence. Same as a US made car of this vintage, dash VIN and door jamb VIN and they seem to match. Yes, those are for the seat belts. GM cars had them too. That big yellow/orange thing in the trunk is one of the original wheel chocks that came with the car, for when you need to change a flat.
This one is a bit rare---it has AC. Looks like it says "Trim Line"? Might have been a dealer installed graphics package. The 1970s were all about stripes....
Thank you so much for showing the datsun. I haven't seen one in decades. Thank you. Be safe.
👍
Haven't seen one of these since I was a kid! Around here by time they were 7-8 years old, totally rusted out. Cool to see one though. 😎👍
Ahh ! back by popular demand ! thanks for going back to that Datsun brother ! that was a sweet little 4 banger back in the day, love that dash. That's definitely a rare find.
👍
I liked this car, and the datsun pickup. My uncle put a 5.0 in his datsun pickup years ago!
Aw man! He did a video on it! Yeah good stuff haven't seen one of those on the road in over 20 years! Good ole Datsun! They weren't much for power but they were super reliable .
👍
I grabbed one about same shape cause the unibody was solid and used some road signs on the inside, quick and simple ... pulled the engine and transmission, dropped a 350 chevy with automatic.. plate across the front for front mount and a piece of 2 x 4 steel for rear mount with a chevy rear chopped quick and easy, big bang welds in the pit, simple wiring as everything you need it already there. Used datsun radiator and fired it up... got some two inch wide flat stock and made a x under it so you could still get trans out should you need to... my engine came out of seventies small pickup and used rear end out of car. No special brakes or other, just saved everything. I welded two flat pieces on frame to bolt the rear crossmember. I loved those shifters as it was adaptable for shift on that 350 auto transmission. Everything done in three days as cleaning took the most time, if they run then kids will patch holes and I had it up for sale I guess before I knew it and had offers to build it and sell. No paint or patch short of what i did first thing. I blew it up spinning wheels till tires pop.
Thanks again for keeping the videos coming...
👍
If this was in the UK that would fetch a fair few bucks! We don't have scrap yards here anymore, so when an old car like this pops up they don't hang around for long. In fact, most of the old cars in these yards would find a home here.
Don’t listen to the haters. Anything old is cool and I appreciate seeing this stuff. Those headlights might be original, how many 43 year old Ford and Chevys still have theirs ? Thanks for posting
👍
Telling you. Mini tub with a titan V8 just to keep it ricey😁 keep the original paint.
Whoa, I haven't seen one of those in years. Last registered in 1998, wow!!! The latest I seen one was the early to mid 90's. idk
I had a 78 back in 1985 with an auto, got about 40 mpg but felt like it was Steve Austin's aircraft on the runway at 60 mph. Broke the tires loose in the rain once on a corner. It was my half sisters from California so at age 8 it saw it's first Wisconsin winter, was rusted by age 15. There was an electronic button under the gas pedal to get it into passing gear, maybe for the Amish buggy if you had balls.
Down here we called them 120y.
Nice car.
Those headlight switches are worth getting,
I’ll take it. Mine is rusted out but runs still runs!
I sold got tommy Thomas Datsun Mercedes in Panama City Florida in 1977. These cars sold new for about $3k. They came stripped down. The dealership would sometimes go ahead and put in a radio, rear louvrres and maybe stripes, but the customer could pick all that out or buy it straight. None of them came with air but they made a unit for it that could be added on for $400.00. Now our basic commission usually ran about $45.00 on these, but the more accessory items we could add the bigger our commission so we’d try to load these up. Thomas also owned the Chevy dealership do we had GMAC financial services we could go through and we’d get a commission off that too. Most I ever made off a B210 was less than $100,00, the Z cars sold for less than 4K. By comparison I could sell a Mercedes D300 and make $175.00 before add ones. Datsun of course is Nissan. They were great little cars too.
It looks to be a pretty fair project car, doesn't look like it was crashed.
Thx for doing a video on it and if you did it because I asked thx as well I saw one of these in a yard here but in a brown colour
👍
Buy it brother !!!
They wont sell them once they go into the yard for parts
Knew you wouldn’t let us down Benny!
👍
awesome
👍
Bummer, sombody would really want this car. My grandfather had one.
Like the Olds some good parts as well as some rust..
Datsun, I sure remember these growing up. Then later but forget what year was Changed to Nissan.
I shared one that had a 5 speed with my two brothers. She was fast I think top speed I get to 130 mph. Fun
The 4 banger is still there but it looks some parts off of it have been pirated....
Woow is very nice.
my first car
Not a huge import fan, but I've always thought these were cool, haven't seen one in years. I'm surprised that more of them aren't hopped up, I remember when monster garage was on Jesse James put a z car motor in one.
Rust rust rust
Man I'll have to find this
I had 1 in 1983 it wasn't fast at all but fun as hell. It was blue and had a manual transmission love that car till it started rusting apart it wasn't even that old instead of rusting really bad
Auto was slower
77 b210 datsun loved those cars growing up 5 bucks in the tank u can cruz all day import car but it still ride
Those days could come back if ⛽ prices keep dropping
In which city is it in?
It was in Elm Mott Tx but they crushed it a good while back
I have a 78 B210 and a team that races it in the 24 Hours of Lemons! We destroyed the transmission in the last race and we are just finishing up a motor and trans swap with an eco tech we bought from a friend. So happy to see a Datsun and someone excited about it!

good video sadly my first car 74 mustang II 88 hp weighed about 1k more LOL
That rust is nothing. The quarters on my buddies B210 were rusted up to the windows by 1988. This one isn’t too bad, if a hood can be found.
Don't see then any more don't miss either if I want to see junk imports I'll just drive around town
Let’s LS swap it !!!! 😁
Wouldn't fit in there lol
If I had the chance I would put in a modern v6 and make it a baja or a mad max car.
Looks like Trim-line on the stripes
👍
Where is this at
BYOT in Elm Mott TX
@@ClassicRideSociety thank you
Bro I had a 78 Datsun b210 5-speed
I've a seen a couple of pop up for sale here pretty cheap.
I have one just like it only in great condition. I could use a few parts off or it. I’m sure it’s gone by now
I have a datsun 120y its the same car but its called 120y in norway and its a 2door sedan
Dunno why people hate videos on these, many imports are classics! Looks like a Sparkomatic aftermarket radio, the company is well known for making 8 track to cassette adapters for those who wanted to listen to cassette!
Too bad she's crusty mostly on the inside, 70s and 80s imports are very collectible and worth just as much if not more than American cars of the same era. California is where Datsuns are most abundant, I'm surprised this one's in Texas! Nice to see you wearing gloves though!😎👍
And now you can't even find any gloves
@@ClassicRideSociety The timing tho. You start wearing gloves the moment when they disappear. You can't match that! 😂
Probably not more than a few hundred of these left.Most rusted into oblivion years ago
It says Trim Line
👍
Love the vids man!
👍
Got any new content coming up?
@@claudemartinez6589 yea I got a few more junkyard find videos coming up
Like the channel, hard to like this one tho. More A bodies please.
Got a 67 chevelle video coming up
If you read this think you can get me the dash and seats?
While that car is still there, I don't pull or ship parts. But if you're local, its at BYOT AUTO SALVAGE in Elm Mott TX
@@ClassicRideSociety dang I’m in Utah, I’ve got a 78 b210gx but I need seats and the top part of the dash. Maybe one day I’ll make it out there. So cool to see one other than mine in the states not many around.
I remember my aunt had a blue one in the late 80s. Good memories
what is so good about owning a rice burner.no matter the year or the flavor of the day!?
had one of these in lime green 15 yrs ago tried to drive it from vegas to ohio -went thru the texas panhandle and hurricane force winds actually made the timing chain skip a few teeth .oklahoma hp pullerd me over for going too slow -35 in a 70 i think abandoned it near the garth brooks giant water tower or ? -what a piece of shit lol
Now that was nice little adventure you embarked on
so buy t from the yard,and take her home and restore her! since its Asian/Japanese would not want it even as a restored turn key kinda car!!NO RICE 4 ME!!!
The yard won't sell them once they put them out for parts
Only a idiot put a nice Datsun B210 on junkyard! 😡😡😡😡
People loved those cars because they were cheap, ran forever and got great gas mileage. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Texas car---that's how rusty they got without road salt. The bodies dissolved in just a few years up north
