I thinking of getting this 78 Datsun B210 here in FL.. I spoke to the seller and Im trying to arrange a way to pick it up. What do you guys think. Has a weber on it and has all the a/c parts but non functional as of now. It is an Automatic though but I dont mind that.

I personally preferred the 1200, but the B210 was a pretty reliable beast.  It is certainly not a speed demon, especially with an auto.

210 with 2.2 turbo swap ?

Well I found a 76 Datsun B210 with no rust but no a/c. paint fadded but a lot cheaper than the 78 and a lot closer to me. the pluses, its a manual and a hatchback as well which I perfer.. Intereior is in good shape. Heres a pic...

Hey very easy conversion to drop an L series engine in with a 610 front cross-member as the B210 was also sold as a PB210 in Japan this one was like mine the ex Sheka Mehta works Datsun  PB210 they are talking about in the link.

 

Search on the topic of L series into 120Y or B210 and you will find all the information you need using mostly stock Nissan parts, there is a dedicated section on Datsun1200.com for B210's and most members are from either Australia or the US they are a fun toy when done well.

It would be great with an L20 in it. I sure don't miss setting up the timing chain on those however

HA!!!!! Found one in AZ but still have to ship it. Its a 1978 Datsun B210 GX. Got a good deal on it and paid for it already. Its got factory A/C in it as well. Not sure if it works. No rust but a few dents here and there. Interior decent but missing a few small things which Ive been already on the hunt for and found some as well. heres some pics of what I have and I wlll post more as soon as I get it in a couple weeks.

Congrats!

I had a 210 and a 310, nice reliable little cars for the time. Keep them away from salt, dont even let them see a salt shaker.

Got the b210 all running now and got me some honeycomb hubcaps. Not tooo shabby. Hopeflly sometime next year get the body work and a paint job done for this. Really like the way she drives. Also have to see if I can get the a/c working... Yes thats right she equipped with factory a/c... heres pics

 

I owned one of those

Oh, it's great. Here's the Datsun I picked up recently.

Wow really nice datsun.... No offense to my brat but Im really diggin this datsun and the way she drives.....

But, can you haul garbage to the dump in it? Can you sit in the back under the stars?  heheheh

I had a B210 in college, but it looked different than yours (it was light blue tho). I think it might have been a newer model. As I recall, it was a great car. I don't remember what I did with it though. I like the honeycomb hubcaps. So Koool. 

Ok Got my B210 all pretty and painted!!!
