- I drove six hours north to Manteca California attend a Datsun Car and truck swap meet / show called Datslocos and a pinball festival . Many classic Datsun’s showed up including 510, 610 , B-210, 520 , 620 trucks and a Mazda REPU rotary powered truck!
The next Datslocos event will be held once again in Manteca California at the old JC Penny parking lot on 9/30/23 in case anyone watching wants to attend. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks, bloke! I enjoyed strolling around the car park with you. A very, very nice show, well filmed and produced.
Thank you my friend. I am going to be honest with you when I shot this video I did not think many people would be interested in it overall. I enjoyed the show but just shot this video for fun not expecting many people to watch or comment on it. It’s unbelievable how many people have watched and commented on it! 😁😁✌️✌️
Dad had a 620 L'il Hustler. Loved that truck.
Awesome thanks for sharing and watching my video!
Awesome looking show. Thanks for sharing with us👍👍👍
You’re welcome!!! I hope to attend another one like this in the future.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE VINTAGE JDM CARS AND TRUCKS!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video men 👍 love datsun 510 ❤ my first car a 1971 510 2 doors last whit me 25 years. 😢 i miss 510✌️
The RHD JDM DATSUN SUNNY TRUCK PUT A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE,WASABI CARS WOULD BE PROUD
Well I am glad that truck made you smile!!! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
we used to race datsun 2000s in d production at mid-ohio and nelsons ledges back in the 70's. you wouldn't believe all the parts we used to leave out for the trash haulers. we used to buy up rusty roadsters and strip them for their hard parts. U20 motors and the old 71A 5-speed OD transmissions.
Wow , thanks for sharing this with us. Those parts alone that were discarded would be very valuable these days!!! It would be fun if we could go back in time and watch one of these vintage races! Thanks for visiting today. Rob
we had roadster guys come by and just load up their trucks with the body parts. we couldn't really get much if anything for the parts cuz nearly all the local roadsters were rust-buckets.@@gaspumprob
only were you had people who would spend $$$$ on their cars. clean roadsters were rare back in ohio where they used salt on the roads@@gaspumprob
Beautiful rides. Long live the OG Skyline!
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment!!!
they used to scrap them in the JDM all the time- sometimes at less than 30K. skylines were never imported to north america. the front clips were usually available and they were dirt cheap.
@tommurphy4307 What is the front clip?
Woah!!! OK, now this was a fun video to watch!! And you got parts for your truck finally 🙆♂️
That must have really been a fun event. I'm learning more about the Datsun brand thanks to you.
Thank you !!!! It was a fun event and I am also learning more about the different Datsun models. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful vintage Datsuns. In the 70s the B210 was just everywhere and quite ugly. No one would preserve that thing.
Yes I agree!!!
nice stuff dude. my parents had a 1973 Datsun 180b sss bluebird, uk spec. was awesome, wish i had that car now.
Awesome thanks for visiting my channel!!! Rob
Cool, greetings from Old Datsun Indonesia 🇮🇩
Wow we are far from each other but regardless we enjoy good classic Datsun vehicles!!
where they had 510s with A-series tractor motors in them.
Awesome video with all those classic Datsuns 👌
Glad you like them!
Correction: Manufacturing dates for the 510 ran from late 68 to 1972. Datsun made another 510 run at the market in late 76 but but i was not nothing like the original icinoc Datsun 510. My history of the 510's runs deep in my life. It started for me in 79. I bought a used 69. Next i bought a 1972. Triple SSS parts were everywhere. Brock Yates and John Morton were done racing the 510 far by my late teens and the swap meets were ful of parts. Age 17 to 25 in southern California was my stint owning and building the 1st gen 510's. I dearly miss those days. They are days that are just to difficult now. There are no parts like there use to be. You may think there are plenty of parts avaliable buy absolutely nothing like my early 1979 introduction to the 510. In the late 70's early 80's they would fall in your lap. Can you imagine. It was a glorious time.
Thank you for sharing your 510 history and stories. The good old days are long gone but you never know where a container full of 510
parts could be hidden. 😁
@@gaspumprob My apologies for my grammer. Information is correct however i have cancer and the chemo causes spelling difficulties. I know what I am trying to write. It just doesn't always come out that great. I extremely enjoyed your video as I said. A entire rush of memories returned. Thank you
@@jimhiscott2918 No problem at all . I appreciate you leaving a comment. I understood everything you wrote. I think it is great that the video brings back memories. Thanks for the compliment on my video.
@@jimhiscott2918 I am very sorry you have cancer. I will pray that you will have a full recovery. Take care
remember how fun it was getting stuff for your dime in the junkyards? we used to practically live at the junkyards near the mexican border. all-Z auto wrecking was a fun place, too.
My first car was a Datsun 1200 coupe (had i known then what I know now). I have a soft spot, you can say for Datsun (yes I know the reasons and history)... frankly Datsun is a far better name musically than Nissan but, Datsun was a part of peoples lifes... like mine.
Thank you for sharing this . It is like a first love. The memory is never forgotten.
AC/DC!!!!
Hello, nice video and good Datsun
Hello - thank you 😊
Enjoyed!!! 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Have a great day!
Didn’t see a single 1000. I had a 69 2dr for many years and would love another. Likely unaffordable. Love your truck!
Thanks for watching and the complement on my truck.
@@gaspumprob your welcome, I really enjoyed that b10, I flip through old PM magazines and always see the advertising for your truck! 1695$.
Oh I thought I'd go back and take a look at this one again. Watch another time. My wife even watched it and said a couple of them we're nice. She talked about her dad had an old Datsun pickup. Of course it wasn't all that old when he had it back in the day. Apparently he really liked it and that's saying a lot for Union guy. It's safe to say he's a real donkey 🫏🫏🐴. He can laugh. Anyway I like the little wagon. Felt bad about the guy who got hit by another person running a red light. I'd forgotten you've got the door latches and front bumper for your pickup. When you showed it on that trailer being pulled it almost looks like it had a windshield in it. Pretty cool how these all painted up nice colors and what have you talking about the engine the details. And they put that 4.3 in a little pickup. Good grief how would you keep it on the ground. You need to have your pilot's license 🪪. Hey my wife said the engine look kind of big for the truck. I am not busting the guy for doing it. We used to put small block V8 into Vegas. that's when I was a kid when I was just a little bit older shall we say please put in 460s into Penn Station wagons and sometimes the runabouts. But I would say that little pickup with a 4.3 would be faster than anything we did with the vega. Thanks for bringing back some memories greatly appreciate it. 👍👍
Thanks for revisiting this video. Oh yes I remember the days of the V-8 Vega and the V-8 swapped Pintos . As long as the Pinto gas tank did not blow life was pretty good back then! Thanks for sharing and tell your wife I am honored that she watched my Datsun video 🥳🥳🥳😟
@@gaspumprob I told her she and she giggled. I can remember when Datsun became Nissan in our country. The unified the brand across the world under one name
actually, they were already badged as nissans in most markets.@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525
that was really mostly just media hype perpetuated by general motors since their vega sales were tanking and they had no answer for the pintos.@@gaspumprob
Great video Rob, anything early Datsun in Australia is very pricey. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Thanks Robert. I heard that from someone else as well. I guess not as many were imported into Australia compared to the USA. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Have a great day
Nice video men!!!!!
Thank you for visiting my channel!! Rob
The old show in Oregon called Datsun Driving Canby Fun had so many roadsters i took a lot of my old obscure datsuns to that show also seen many datsuns you don't see.
I like all of them!!!! Vintage Japanese vehicles are amazing! Thanks for commenting. Rob
@gaspumprob There is a second Datslocos show in October in the same place one of the members has a prestine white roadster haven't seen it at the show lately. I'm going to try to take one of mine if not fix my 87 Nissan Van and drive it down there.
Awesome 😎 I will check the dates
really? how many '68 510 2-door cars did you see there?
Hi rob good to see you got some parts . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Thanks Peter, Parts are very difficult to find for that truck . Appreciate you watching. I have some gas pump and junkyard content coming soon.
@@gaspumprob great to hear about new videos
Thanks I enjoy having a good mix of content if possible.
That looked like an awesome car show. Shame about the orange wagon that got hit. One of my older siblings had a 510 2 door in that same color and I used to take it on drives around the neighborhood. That was a fun car.
It was an amazing show!!! 510s are cool! Thanks for watching
The orange 73 Datsun 610 sedan is my friends car he uses it as a daily driver/Cruiser. The 610 sits on air bags i actually got to drive it to the show. The damage in the rear is from a lady rear ending it.
This is so cool that you have discovered my video. I wanted to ask your about the car but he was busy chatting with a friend. I didn’t want to interrupt them. I figured it got damaged racing . Appreciate you watching and commenting. Please share this video with other Datsun enthusiasts. Rob in Goleta California
I can’t find a decent 510 near me… looks like you found them.
Where do you live? I found a couple 510 complete wagons in a salvage yard near Phoenix Arizona last month.
I’m in Arkansas. I found a 1960 Datsun 1200 pickup here while I was looking for a 510. I almost bought it but it was a lot of work. I’m trying to finish my 1950 Mercury now. And strangely, I just go into pinball again. I have an old Bally’s Bow and Arrow machine now. I never thought about pinball swap meets. So I guess I’ll have to carve out some time to go one next year.
@@hem1kat We share a lot of interests ! I played many games on a Bow and Arrow growing up. Now I have over thirty games in my collection. So much fun! My 64 Datsun truck remains with a locked up engine and no front windshield available. Appreciate you visiting and sharing. Keep up the great work on your 50 mercury!
rob- when we get 510s at the yards in otay mesa- they are usually stripped to the bone within a week!@@gaspumprob
rob- you might try jim or clark at jim wolf tech in el cajon- hes redone a couple of 320s. he might be able to point you in the right direction.@@gaspumprob
Nice...I still have my Datsun 240Z in mint shape from 1980, and a Datsun ST truck 4 speed, and a Datsun B-210. Also, it has to be Datsun....not Nissan.
Very cool!
What month of the year you guys have the show I would like to go
Hello, You just missed the September 30th show. Look up Datslocos on Facebook or website for future shows. I’m not sure when the next meeting is. Appreciate you watching the video. Rob
Man you're burning up the screen on my phone with that one at the end yet lock on the brakes so you can come to stop! 🤣🤣
Okay pinball wizard. I watched It all the way through. You know that station wagon for $4,500. I think I know where there's one at that's running for $850. Anyway a lot of neat things that they done with those little cars. I bet you those cars are quick. They're no longer rice burners. They're minute Rice burners 🤣🪣! A little Mazda rotary pick up I've seen a few of them in my lifetime but nothing recently. And so you picked up the engine type that you were wanted on the rotary? Save classic cars and doesn't matter where they're made.
Yes skidded to the end!!!! The engine is what I was looking for 13B rotary. I am still curious if you have a 12A or a 13B in your RX-7 . If it’s a 13B I am definitely interested in buying it from you as long as it’s not locked up with rust . Please let me know about that Datsun wagon for $850.00 Depending on rust that would be a fantastic deal ! I saw a lot of engine swapped Datsuns at the show. I bet several are fast. Especially the turbo charged ones. Thank for leaving multiple comments!
@@gaspumprob oh you're welcome on the comments. I think maybe everybody's off on the number of comments are getting. Yeah I mean when you see that Nissan engine and something from 1960. It's going to move it down the road. I think they called it the Rocky mountain race. I don't know if you watch his channel but his name is Chad and he south of adventures made-from-scratch Silas. He has a vintage junkyard and he's involved in this race and although it may not be a big thing it does look interesting. They convene on Kearney Nebraska and then from there they go to basically Denver and then we'll see where the race continues. Maybe they call it a race but it's more like a sightseeing trip. Seems like you're familiar Kearney Nebraska
Is this an annual show?
Yes it is every January. I hope you can make it someday. Well worth the effort.
Probably the nicest 320 pickup is here in Tucson...it was a barn find and is flawless.. pm me for pics . I'm looking for a Datsun 1200 myself to rebuild my highschool car.
Awesome 👏!!! Appreciate you visiting my channel to watch this video today.
there are some around san diego county, too, but a lot of them have stolen and taken to mexico
consider a sunny excellent as they can be had cheaply and can use the
L-series motor instead of the little tractor motors the 1200 used.
Wasn't there also a Mitsubishi pickup that is similar? czcams.com/video/dH11MrEgbHA/video.html
not to mention the chevy luvs and the ford couriers...
Next swap date
I will provide it soon! Thank you for watching
Жду Datsun 100a
Thank you for watching and 100a very nice!
When is next meet
Thanks for watching. As far as I know it will be in May again - same location Manteca California.
that would be a great road trip for me- hwy 101 all the way up from san diego (i live in alpine). i would have to drive my sentra with our ridiculous fuel costs.
Great video. But just think instead of saving 1000 imports if each one of them had saved a good American muscle car how many more muscle cars made of American iron Would be on the road!
Okay Rob you tell them I'm not a hater 😠! But I'm actually torrent back and a haters face 😈! Remember when you first got that little Datsun truck and one comment from a woman I believe was why did you get that foreign piece of junk and you could save one of so many American classics!?!?!?
I'm going to say probably 15 years ago I saw a couple of those Datsun convertibles and the guy that I hooked him up with them, has always been so appreciative of that. Always like to have a pet those mirrors out there about three-quarters up from the windshield on the front fenders. Well I'll finish watching the video and leave another comment so you can defeat that monster known as the CZcams algorithm!!! Nose really worried about you being there you made it home safe from that event right? I'm a so many of those vintage dachshund around I know Godzilla had to show up and be hungry 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️. You know the old black-and-white movies
Hahahaha Let me start at the end of your comment because that made me laugh the most. Yes I watched the old black and white Godzilla movies growing up and I remember the Datsuns and the Japanese people running like crazy to get away from being crushed! Total chaos!!! I also remember that negative comment on the truck and why did I choose to save that one! I remember you stuck up for me . It would be even greater if 1,000 imports were saved along with 5000 more American muscle cars! 💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇯🇵
@@gaspumprob 👍 yup but what is gone is gone. I'm curious they just going to put in some housing development there or what? At the salvage yard they crushed out
@@gaspumprob have you thought about breaking that pinball segment into a short or 2 . May broaden your base and you obviously have an interest in pinball.
@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 I made one short already out if it . Remember Elton John song? It did not get much attention so I decided to put this at the end of the video to see if anyone in the car community might comment on it.
@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 Yes I believe apartments. 🥲🥲🥲🥲
If you take a look at de lady datsun to the world...
Thank you Tommy . Appreciate you visiting my channel
Before Datsun was used for little dogs.
Yes 🙌
