Datsun 1200

20

This isn’t my car anymore . But I used to own and raced it a couple of years ago at Waterford Hills a small road coarse north of Detroit Mi . This was absolutely the most frustrating and absolutely most fun car I have ever raced . I really wish I still had it . This car was built back in the early 80’s as an SCCA GT-5 racecar and was built from the Datsun Competition B-Sedan blueprints . It’s a partial tube chassis/tub car with fiberglass hood , fenders , doors and trunk lid . Engine was the A-series 1200 with twin 44mm Mikuni carbs . This engine would pull 8900 rpm all day long . Did I mention I wished that I still had this car ? www.waterfordhills.com

Dad used to race a 77 200sx in ITB. The experience seemed similar to yours. Incredibly frustrating and run at the same time.

Looks like it's in SoCal now. That's the Streets of Willow track behind Willow Springs. I like the flares.

I love these older cars like this! This one has always been one of my favorites.

I race a 510 in HP. The 1200's are one of the coolest Datsuns there is.

Supposedly this car was sold to a person in France. Bye Bye little car.
