[@WDDetailing]

What do you guys think? Did I make a good purchase and how much do you think it's worth? Don't forget to like and subscribe!

[@dillanmistry]

Very good purchase

[@GarrisonWallin]

AMAZING video!! I think the car is worth around $2500.

[@simonevans2491]

Not really, worth about £50, scrap.!!!

[@dillanmistry]

@@simonevans2491 even if it is worth £50, it’s worth million’s sentimentally

[@simonevans2491]

Too serious dude 😇

[@gulvergwalia2047]

That’s really nice of Brent to buy the car just for our entertainment. These guys are the nicest and most warm-hearted detailers on KZbin.

[@ezekielmalasmas670]

We have a good time with WD So awesome and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ nice ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@OsbornTramain]

Boy, this is great....Okay, first, I've been trying to find one for years.....I'm looking for a white one. As a kid growing up, I use to ride around in one, my Dad bought one new in 1968, we had it for 3 or 4 years. Your car looks amazing original. Like the body side moldings are still on the car. Even the cover and hole is in place for the jack stand.......so many of these get rust and repainted and Morons bondo over the jack stand hole......you've got a nice one to build on......that even looks like original paint! And the interior door panels are all great too...... Thing to note, they do rust, but your rust isn't bad at all. The neat thing is it's original, the hub caps, the steel wheels, the little clips to hold the cover on the car. The engine bay is all original, no conversion to something else....I'm thinking it's worth about 7 to 9 grand. If you get it running, possibly more, it looks like it could run....if it ran...10 or 11 k for sure. Fully Restored, the go from 30 to 40K

[@altabanks4402]

She cleaned up really good 👍😊❤

[@gamerzbrother]

i'm from sweden and have been watching your youtube videos for almost 4 years and i love your youtube videos very much 😊😊👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@finaltouchautodetailingllc]

You guys did an amazing job! This will give someone a great platform for a very awesome and unique project car.

[@jamesearlchadwick5550]

Great job bro I rate you 5 star plus 1000

[@carrestore]

good job👍👍👍

[@mzandmz1]

Why is it you don’t detail the chrome very well. I noticed on a lot of your jobs. S.O.S. Pads will shine chrome and remove most of the surface rust. To me that’s what “”DETAIL “ means.

[@GavinJLang]

love it! wish i were closer

[@PabloPerez-ed9gp]

Nice🙂

[@eranvk]

Amazing work 👏 I love it!

[@kooliekleanz1542]

Great !

[@bneems33]

I love how you guys always detail awesome cars. All of your competitors constantly do the same types of cars. You guys stand out and that’s why I always love and enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@WDDetailing]

Hey thank you! We always try to find the most interesting cars we can for our viewers.

[@tailsdblack463]

Ok owning one of these will be sweet.

[@simonevans2491]

Never cease to impress me with your enthusiasm and standard of work. I watch all your work from Wales in the UK, cheers Simon.

[@karson1214]

Oh man, this is basically my dream! Would be very very nice to find a 70s Datsun Z to clean it up and make it mine

[@Wesley_C]

You guys have keep found of these cars to clean up, fantastic job.

[@joshsantos8702]

Good job fellas. Some steel wool would have done wonders for that chrome bumper and chrome trim pieces. Definitely give it a try it will improve the overall look of the vehicle. Wont remove the years of pitting but will definitely remove the brown staining

[@BobPegram]

Use 000 or 0000 steel wool if you use steel wool. The visible rust on the chrome will go. Then seal the chrome somehow so it doesn't reappear immediately.

[@NicholasBoyle42]

Is whoever bought the car going to give you updates on what they do with it? Would be great to see it once they do the other body work and mechanical repairs as it came up looking awesome after just a detail. Keep up the great work guys. Cheers from Australia.

[@newreviewpro]

hello brother a hug from Brazil. Good work

[@hansjorgkarcher9504]

That’s a nice little car! Well done bros 💪

[@SW20NGUYEN]

Currently working on a '69 Datsun 2000 Roadster with my friend and his uncle, nice to see a recent video about one of these cars.

[@justhimo2728]

GooD job 👏 my friend

[@edwarddunk2731]

I hope whoever buys the car will keep you updated on the restoration. 👍

[@carolmccorry3053]

I wish you had polished the chrome? Nice little car

[@mrc4912]

Had one for a couple years and it was more fun than a barrel of monkeys: It was fun to drive and provided the sports car experience on a budget. That 1600 engine with 96HP was lively enough to make for a spirited drive. Enjoy yours and have fun. As for value, I'd guess that one in concours condition could be worth 15-18K and even a "roach" should be worth a few grand. IMO, only...

[@KentRigby]

Wow! You had to go into the Way Back Machine for that one. Very cool car.

[@ralphiel5166]

I would love to buy that from you, but i just started working on my 1964. It's a really nice project car. I wish can save all of them.

[@MarioDoesDetails]

Love the detailing content! Inspires me so much to keep improving my own content! all love!!!

[@aaronwilson8768]

The car and I are both the same age were antiques LOL By the way I don't think I would watch A Channel Of You shoveling snow although you have a great heart

[@zenamoore6733]

You really do an excellent job Like it’s unbelievable Please just try to stay positive no matter what

[@KobeandMichaelJordan]

At least you get snow I live in West Virginia/ Ohio and never get snow

[@dillanmistry]

Doesn’t it feel great to own a classic? You have no time limit to clean it and you can enjoy and drive it if possible

[@serakatkowski2004]

Hi WD Detailing I love your channel and I love all of your car detailing videos and I think i you made a great purchase:)

[@johnjurasek5259]

If it was me I would keep it and take my time restoring it.

[@vengeance1701]

With that shoveling technique, you'll wreck your shoulder:P

[@simonevans2491]

Really, it's a design we'll b4 it's time, great.

[@haileyellis1322]

Loved the intro on this 😍, great video

[@dexon107]

Datsun-thatsun= mind-blowing

[@kingfisherphil]

Love the car, never seen in UK, should be a desireable motorcar!

[@SrColon309]

What an attractive and special car you ask how much it is worth I live in York Pennsylvania and this week they sold one in the same conditions as that one with the difference that it was walking for $3500 dollars but that will depend on who is in love with the car

[@birdssurfshed]

In California it would be a parts vehicle $500-1000 tops

[@Garnett.]

It’s so satisfying to see these cars getting washed they look brand new.

[@TristanYZY]

Did not expect that the car had 3 tail lights

[@adamcran9859]

Brilliant purchase mate you should get $1500

[@seattlesimplelife2931]

Hi... I want it....Please 😫 😩 😢 😍

[@claucom1969]

Sería un interesante juguete para restaurar, un proyecto que seguro tomaría su tiempo pero el auto es bastante simpático y lo merece.

[@arny9464]

Sí, definitivamente

[@justinmagana9630]

This was my first car ever man i do not miss it 😂 if you need help getting part numbers for rear brakes or anything let me know also the r16 has same motor as h22 fork lift so you can get gaskets etc etc from the h22

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

That missin' "U" is driving my OCD crazy... 😔

[@michaelkaceycountryman2735]

It's really worth what somebody's willing to pay. Knowing how much it cost to repair all of that stuff you would have to really love these cars because once you're done you're going to have way too much in it to ever resell it.

[@michaeldawkins3758]

Hey guys, I must say that this is a great car you got on your hands, and I am curious to see what the next owner will do with it...I can see the potential in this car, whatever happens, it is definitely a summer car.

[@bigstyx]

I had a Dotson 1969 1600 now there is two styles of 1969 roaders both 1600s there was also a 2000 so they’re not exactly the same when you buy parts. You gotta make sure you get the right one. Mine had 27000 original mileage on it and it looked like it came out of the showroom.

[@armindoalves551]

Thanks bro, insane transformation

[@b888cky]

Use steel wool on chrome. Nice video. :)

[@anonymousperson6188]

With what you said in the video, I think it needs a miracle. I suggest you pray for it. Would RJ happen to like the band Kutless...? Look at the lead singer and then look at RJ...🙏

[@denkitney8865]

You guys are amazing! I realy enjoy watching what you can do. Quick question, how do YOU guys clean seat belts? I can not find an easy way!

[@CCM911]

Another fun video. But the engine is an inline four, not a flat four. A flat four would be an old Subaru or VW bug engine. Keep up the great work guys!!

[@bziguy]

I used to race against the 1600’s and could win with my AH 100-6 but the 2000 hit the track and the extra 50 HP and the independent suspension did me in! I had to slide the corners and the 2000 just powered right through them!

[@BrettJ2010]

I can't remember what you had said in the last video, is the Sterling for sale or are you just waiting for the owner to pick it up?

[@stuartkynoch7289]

LOL big piece of ice. I'm in Canada...whatever! ;)

[@traviswarehime5796]

Amazing transformation! Did you guys get any ice up there? We got close to a half an in here in Cambridge

[@ROXSTARCorvette4371]

Once again, an outstanding job. The car is somewhat rare and kinda cute but value wise, it would be tough to put a price on it. Are there any Datsun/Nissan clubs in your area that would have an interest in such a car?

[@diverdave4056]

come on now ... remove the rust off the bumper - hub caps n trim !

[@jeffreyrobert9460]

No Jescar Powerlock+ before the Collinite 845?

[@lostboy4712]

you can really clean up that rusty pitted chrome if you polish it with a wadded up piece of aluminum foil and clean water. I wouldnt do it on a show car but for the barn finds it will really bring it back and get rid of the brown staining

[@MrWill73]

Great channel guys! New to your channel and the results you get is really nice to see! Just a suggestion, if you guys come across a car that the paint can really come out flawless, it would be great to see a deep dive and see how you guys make it look great! Like your interior dives. Thanks!👍👍👍

[@mzandmz1]

Simple # 00 steel wool on those rusty chrome bumpers or “ SOS PADS” would had done wonders at polishing up and removing most of that surface rust. Kinda what they call “ Detailing “

[@jesussavescars807]

Also what foam cannon do you use I need that same one

[@mariomcmichael3230]

awesome job guys love to see Ohio guys represent on the detailing side I'm in Columbus (O-H!!) just got into detailing myself not too long ago hard to do right now haha just dug my car out too

[@lbjgh]

Great job on tidying up that Barn find. Without more information on the drivetrain and frame condition I don't know about price. It's too bad I live in Canada as I have a fistful of cash for a cool car like that.

[@jsb1945]

Hey guys, why you don’t keep it ? It would be nice if you put it again on the road and make it the car of the shop !

[@matthewsullivan5576]

I suggest if you want to snow shovel you need a snow blower. Makes snow removal faster and its easier on your back.

[@onekick]

Just fix it for yourself! Everyone needs a classic car in there life

[@bailey2368]

Ever heard the exspression "Polishing a Turd" ?

[@gregkrueger331]

“Jay-zeus”🤣

[@rosedad4995]

Love watching these videos but never really understood the point of detailing a car beyond simply washing it that clearly needs a complete restoration.

[@dlenderman11]

Nice job guys! I believe you could possibly get between $3-4k for all the work that needs to be done but the car is only going to be worth what someone is willing to pay for it!

[@drwisniewski]

Are you using an electric pressure washer? If so, how do you get so much foam from the cannon?

[@ronpanozzo5213]

I would like to get my hands on the car, I can make you an offer?

[@hanoiboy9839]

Wondering how much they will offer you?

[@relsoc]

I love your guys’ videos and look forward to your new videos each Friday. You guys clean up some nasty cars! I wanna know one thing, who has to clean out the shop vac? That thing has to be a bio hazard! Lol

[@brucedk2181]

There are two listed on eBay right now just like this

[@namenotavailable11]

The problem with that car is that, what you will spend to get it restored will exceed the value of a restored Datsun 1600 Roadster. It's really a car for someone who likes to restore this type of car, and not the money it will cost. Needs new frame, body parts, top, maybe engine and trans? If someone gave you $2500. I would take it and run like hell.

[@anonymous_bot_bot]

Could be a nice earner, gives people a better idea of how much needs replaced and even how far they want to go with a project when the car is super cleaned.

[@mrclassic2284]

I think you should donate that thing to like a tech school.

[@tonycomer1415]

Did this car ever get fixed?

[@billtaglia2865]

That’s your shop? I thought you detailed some of your cars in a parking garage. I couldn’t understand why, but that’s what it looked like.

[@billtaglia2865]

You probably had a full load for your washing machine for all the microfiber towels you used.

[@raphaelszok8561]

Nissan 400 gonna be for sale this month.

[@danlincoln8987]

You guys should just go all the way with this thing put the floor board in do everything necessary, It's too cool not to

[@monturrahman878]

In bad shape once parts and labour spent getting to reasonable condition so i would say $2000

[@Onemore59]

Its a gorgeous money pit. 20?30 thousand to get it like brand new again? So many things wrong with it. It needs torn down completely and gone over completely. It looks like everything is still there. That might be good. Two or three years of work? My heart would Love to have it but my Head says no way.

[@BobPegram]

It's an inline 4 not a flat 4. Was the 2 liter version also an inline 4 or a 6?

[@wanderinggentile]

Inline 4, about 96 horsepower IIRC.

[@instigatedeye5941]

Could probably get 12,000.00 for that car if you sold it in California, people would pay that purely because it's complete, and not to mention, anything that's a Datsun, or a pre-smog, instantly doubles the price tag here.

[@peterjlindley]

If it needs a frame swap I would think the value would be between $2000 and $2500.

[@villaindeku6016]

You should just restore it and keep it

[@TheTMontgomery]

Would love to see the restoration Why not do it profits might be greater

[@mattjohnson6058]

Wait a minute, who's car is that 🤔 Why's R.J doin all the work 😂😂
