1983 Datsun 720 review from North America
"A reliable, fast truck for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the clutch at 130,000 miles.
Replaced the emergency brake cable at 134,000 miles.
It has bad valve guides, so it burns a little oil when it's cold, but who cares?
I went through 2 bench seats in it.
General comments?
It's been a great truck for me.
It thinks it's bigger than it actually is.
Hauled 2,000 pounds and towed a 5th-wheel!!!
I would definitely buy another one if I could.
