FS: '81 Datsun 810 Maxima in Kansas City $350.00

The time has come. I have enjoyed this car for 13 years. Before that, my Grandfather bought it new.

Garaged most of its life with 144K miles. No wrecks. All original. Runs good.















But don't get too excited. It is rusty. The copper color hides the rust.
It also leaks oil from a few places. I add a quart every week. I feel this car could drive to California with no issues, but I would be scared the oil would run out unless I stopped every hour to check. Maybe not, but I wouldn't chance it.

This car has NEVER let me down. Amazing reliability.
It has a lot of odd things not working like the drivers inside door handle, the sunroof, the speedometer and AC.

Windows all work, and everything mechanically seems fine. Starts first time, every time with a micro-second of cranking time. Good exhaust, tires, battery & heater. New brakes. I always took exceptional care of this car. Regular wash and wax. Burns no oil. In fact, whenever I change the oil, I am amazed how golden the used oil always is. Never black.
The interior is clean. No cracks or rips anywhere. Great sounding factory stereo still amazes me.

I would keep it, but I just bought a '91 Legend Coupe....a car I always wanted. I drive this Datsun daily, but I must let it go. I am selling cheap in hopes that someone here can use it. Maybe for parts? Maybe to drive? But I think it is too rusty to spend any money on the engine oil leaks repairs.

I can be emailed at kcdesoto1@hotmail.com if you are interested or need more photos. I would hate to see this car go to the junkyard. Do not ask me for parts...I do not have time or space to part this out. Robert.
Some photos from today......

Hurry...before the junkman cometh.

 

This is an awesome first car for my teenage daughter.....I'm in Houston, tx how soon do you need to sell this?

 

I would like it gone in February. Next week I plan to list it on CL for the slum of the earth to devour.

 

If this was Diesel I would fly today to pick it up.

 

i might buy this from you

 

Wow this seems like a great potential project! Even I can get this with my student budget, if only I were in KS. Bump man, awesome car

 

You cant go wrong buying a car for near it's scrap value. This should sell quick.

 

24hrs of lemons anyone?

 

Update:

I got few replies from a few vintage forums, so today I listed it on my local Craigslist for $200 more ($550) and it sold in one hour for full price. I immediately got about 30 phone calls and 20 emails. I already miss that car.
