Found On The Streets: Somewhere in Virginia...

On my roadtrip back from Rally West Virginia I spotted this rare Datsun.  I do believe it is a Datsun 620.  Not sure what year but they were made from 1972-1979 and brought many innovations to the table over its time including the first long bed, extended cab, disk brakes and electric ignition.

Supposedly they were very reliable and rust resistant, which in conjunction with its location in the South, explains its current existence.

I talked briefly to the driver who said he bought it for $100 and put a Ford 9 inch under the rear and some POS 4 cyl under the hood...so its not a true 100% Datsun anymore, but its still a cool little truck...
