Datsun 180B

FROM

$1,540

Nissan Australia rebadged the Japanese Bluebird 610 Series as the 180B, built in Australia for the local market from 1972.

The racy two-door SSS as well as the volume-selling four-door sedan and wagon were powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.

All are rear-wheel drive, with a choice four-speed manual or three-speed auto transmission. It was on sale until 1977.

The line-up currently starts at $1,540 for the 180B GX and ranges through to $3,630 for the range-topping 180B SSS.

Datsun 180B FAQs

Moving up

IT'S time time you moved up to something more modern. The Bluebird is fine and won't cost a fortune to fix. Run the 180B on PULP or 98 octane unleaded.

Datsun for a good home

IT'S hard to put a value on an old car. So much depends on finding a buyer who wants one. Find an enthusiast and you'll do better than by selling it on the open market. Assuming yours is in very good condition, you could expect to get $1500-$2000. You could try the Nissan Car Club of Australia, ph: 9513 0414.
