That left front apron indicates it's had a good shunt in it's life. Still, anything with side draft Webers is something everyone should own at least once.

According to the seller, you don’t have to do much to get this Datsun 1200 ready for vintage racing. We assume that means just add fuel and go.
In fact, don’t worry about tires. There’s a new set of Hoosiers already mounted on Panasport wheels, too.
The Datsun comes with “SCCA, MCSCC & VSCDA log books and driver IMRRC documentation from 1976, with SCCA National Runoffs history, including 1972 SCCA B(L)110 coupe/sedan D1-1 homologation form.”
Find this 1973 Datsun 1200 from Knoxville, Tennessee, on Facebook Marketplace, with an asking price of $13,900.

These cars use really thin sheet metal. It doesn't take much to bend them, especially in that area.
Mine is tweaked there simple from winching on the trailer wrong.
I've thought about mounting a camber plate that way before but I think this is the first time I've seen anyone actually try it...
In reply to GameboyRMH :
Doing the camber plates that way was a common thing on 1200s
Yes, a 1200 car is on my bucket list and they are extremely rare around these parts. I have never seen one around Charlotte, but used to see plenty of them in the San Francisco Bay Area back in the 1980's but my brother and I were too infatuated with 510s and Roadsters to take much notice. Too bad so many Datsuns rusted out over time and are NLA.
In reply to DavyZ :
They rust ferociously.
Thankfully I live in a dry desert.
1200s seem to the forgotten Datsun. There is a sedan here locally that the owners are allegedly willing to part with but the last time I asked they said no........maybe I need to ask again.
I remember seeing a lot of 1200s in drag videos from Down Under. Lots of love for the "dattos" there.
I know someone who has a bunch of GX parts along with the sedan version of the 1200, a true rare egg.

GX parts!?? That's like shouting free beer........
Hah, I figured that would get your attention. A small part of me is debating whether to make him an offer on everything.
