DATSLOCOS - DATSUN CLASSICS IN CALIFORNIA

I attended a all Datsun car show and swap meet (Datslocos) in California and I was pleasantly surprised at how many classic vintage Datsuns showed up at this event. This video covers at all from Datsun LS swaps to classic Datsun 510s , Z Cars, Trucks , and a couple of rare Nissan Skylines.
I hope you enjoy the Datsun video and share it with your friends.

Thank you BigAl I appreciate the shoutout and appreciation for all who served us . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Glad you like the 510s as well!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

I like the little blue station wagon at the beginning. And also the skyline that is a rare car.

[@gaspumprob]

I also like both of those models because they are less mainstream Japanese. Thanks for visiting and commenting!

Those cars remind me of Mazda's similar body style.

Yes I agree! RX-2 RX-3. Thanks for watching and commenting! You wrote the first comment!

The ls swap is fine with me. People who love these little Datsuns well their car hobbies like the rest of us. They can build it to their liking. Now I heard somebody actually read it somewhere where somebody condemned somebody else. This guy could have picked and saved one of countless American cars that ended up being crushed. But he chose a little pickup truck. I believe it was a Datsun. And it's quite rare more so than a lot of American manufactured cars. So that guy saved a little bit of History rare history.

[@gaspumprob]

I also know this gentleman who you mentioned . I think he was at a junkyard that was about to shut down due to the property being sold off . Sometimes one has to make one choice of what to save. I bet that man struggled a bit with so many to choose between.

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

@@gaspumprob yeah my luck would be that's it been 50 Oldsmobile there they had perfect bumpers on it. And it got crushed. That would be my luck

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

I just really get a kick out some of these cars how they have the ignition switch on the left hand side of the steering wheel.

[@gaspumprob]

Isn’t that interesting!!!! Very different seems backwards.

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

@@gaspumprob seems like it but Ford and in the internationals did it up through the early fifties. I wonder what those guys back then would think about the ignition switch in the columns?

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

Add Nissan skylines are extremely rare. I've got one that's pretty rare not a skyline but it actually only looks like a Datsun . That one's actually toyota. But the Datsun 510 I have is preserve okay 👍

[@gaspumprob]

You have caught my attention. Whatever Toyota model you have that is rare I would love to feature it on my channel someday if possible? How can I contact you? Are you on Facebook? Thanks

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

@@gaspumprob no I don't do Facebook all I do is youtube. And it is rare back it's only important like 8 months or 18 months something like that. I think it's called a Karina. Not to be confused with the corona. Which I have four or five of them. It has a hemi 4 cylinder. Will there be any cousins involved? 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

I like dachshunds. But I really kind of like Chihuahuas better. 🤣🤣🤣

[@gaspumprob]

That is interesting and funny what you wrote I actually prefer Chihuahuas over to Dash hounds myself!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@gaspumprob how about the regal beagle? There's actually three of them that spin off 📴 and are still left in the country. You know from three company. Joyce DeWitt, Marianne, Jaclyn Smith. I guess I got off the subject a little bit 🤣🤣🤣

Datsun, I even own a 40 year old + Datsun.

[@gaspumprob]

Nice 👍 I am smiling because I remember watching your channel and noticed you saved both American and Japanese vehicles! I even remember seeing a first generation Mazda RX-7 in your yard! If anyone is reading this go check out CAROLDDISCOVER channel for a variety of interesting cars, trucks, airplanes, gas stations, signs, etc

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

@@gaspumprob but thanks for the plug. Send me I want to buy that rx7? I wonder who could have bought that old Datsun truck? Have not showed my mom Mitsubishi truck or Isuzu truck?

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

Datsun along with Honda and other makes for that were imported help wake up or automotive manufacturers a little bit. Unfortunately they didn't wake up enough. What happened was hey The Big Three they can make whatever and we will just have to buy it. But then with the gas embargo and reduction supply and increased costs low gas mileage cars became more desirable. So how many families were able to live a little more comfortably because their fathers squeeze themselves into a little Datsun b210 or something?

[@gaspumprob]

This is very true!!!!! Many of these models were manufactured with economy ,affordability , and value in mind. The 510 was not considered a sports car it was considered a compact economy car. The 1600 and 2000 roadster was the Datsun sports car .

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

@@gaspumprob I've seen a couple of them come up for sale recently. I know back when I was around 20, they brought a lot of money 💰💰. A friend of my dad's back then had two of them and some guy drove all the way out from California. Although I think you only bought one and the other one I think well I think it went to Topeka Kansas. Can you imagine somebody driving halfway or more across the country just pick up an old car? Or maybe just no sign from a gas ⛽⛽ station. 🤣

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

We have to remember how important these cars are to our nation's history. Share the made in japan. And I'll leave the money drain out of it. Now under the brand name of Nissan they're made in I believe Mississippi but they're still made in the United States a lot of them

[@gaspumprob]

Yes I agree part of American history, Japanese car culture and American car culture.

I was wondering the same thing!

[@davidhepp1903]

Why no 620s?

[@gaspumprob]

Only saw maybe one or two . Sorry I didn’t capture them on video.

[@ronpanozzo5213]

One problem all the LS swaps 👎🏿

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

Old people used to complain about playing small block Chevy 350 into Ford's. It's all good. But I will admit I would prefer to have the original make of the car matches original make of the engine. Now you can put a later model Nissan engine into a Datsun

[@gaspumprob]

Many can argue both sides of what you wrote. I personally don’t have a problem with it because like the 260 owner said “ it was a roller of a roller no engine, transmission, wiring etc” I think it was the perfect candidate to make it his own and he is enjoying it. The rolling shell could be sitting somewhere still . I do appreciate your feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. Your opinion is appreciated . Personally I might build a Datsun with a rotary engine swap not LS swap in the future . What is your opinion of a rotary swap instead of a LS swap? Thanks

[@fcon1enduro]

yawn ......

[@gaspumprob]

Maybe I should yawn with you? What would you like to view? Please give me your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you for at least clicking on my video and sharing your yawn response haha 😂

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

You don't like dachshunds? Or Datsun? I understand. You don't really like this video because it had a lot of technical points that I never knew. A little rare? But it's getting 600 horsepower! That equals out to 150 horses per cylinder. How does that ever get boring!
