    "Little Miss Sunshine" 1972 Datsun 510 - 4/19 Dropping in KA

    I first fell in love with Datsuns when my friend Tyler bought a '72 510 named "Little Miss Sunshine." From the time I pushed it onto the trailer to when we finished putting the car back together overnight during spring break I enjoyed working on the car. Sadly he traded it away for a Sentra 200sx, and then for multiple cars after that. Finally the new owner of "Little Miss Sunshine" posted on craigslist, and I knew it was destiny for me to buy her back and bring it home. If everything goes well I'll have the money tomorrow and picking her up on Saturday. Here's a picture of her....





    the interior is in MINT CONDITION!

    I never saw the third (or the second) Transformer movie. But this thing is freaking sweet, and it runs great!

    Re: "Little Miss Sunshine" 1972 Datsun 510

    These pics are epic on a computer screen!! Little Miss Sunshine has a lot of character to her for sure! I have to say my favorite thing on your new car is the seriously JDM gas cap cover (I'm stealing that idea for my wagon ) haha

    And I see how mint your interior is! At first I was like but then I was like I have no interior at the with the Spitty so that's no good, but probably just as well since british cars leak so much!

    I really can't wait to meet Little Miss Sunshine, she just looks so cheery. And I'm serious about having a "Not a Subaru Meet" hahahaha

    HOLY CRAP! It's even Sunshine Yellow! That's awesome, except for the car getting a bad rep as "a collector's item." All I need is the hot GF who is not Megan Fox and I'll be set. lol

    I like the Datsun in the movie with that lip. When I saw the car in the movie I thought "I want one of those."

    Way ahead of you Dead. I made an account back when my friend had the car early this year. When I get some progress done I'll make a build thread. There's a lot of useful information on the website just like here on SL-i.

    Right now it has a L20B and a "dogleg" 5 speed transmission out of an 80s pickup.

    HAHA!!! That would rip the car apart! And those swaps are about $8K... I have seen a few with SR's, KA's, and also CA's. You would be cutting firewalls with an RB...

    Would be cool though!
