1981 Datsun 720 review from North America
"Neat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain went south and radiator plus hoses. motor is still going strong and won't give up it just won't die I have hauled 1/2 cord of wood and 2 street bikes at the same time when timing chain broke and it still kept driving to get me home. seats lack a lot there just plain bad. since buying I have put on 10k miles and the tranny mounts are broken and it smackes around, but keeps going its unreal.
General comments?
This damn thing keeps going and won't give up I hate it, but like it at the same time. i have never been stranded, but the time the throttle cable broke on the freeway doing 70mph.
