This may seem silly but I forget to tell you what it may need. One of the things it may need down the line is gear synchros for 2nd and 3rd gear. I have gotten so used to the way it drives that I simply forgot that they occasionally grind going into gear. I have significantly lowered the price to reflect this. This has not been a problem for me despite driving it virtually every day for almost two years. I just haven't gotten around to it. Does not pop out of gear or stick in gear! Shifts and drives smoothly 99% of the time. Could also use a carb adjustment. I have driven this truck up and down and everywhere. It has never broken down or given me any trouble whatsoever. Undoubtedly the most faithful vintage Datsun I have every owned! This truck is my pride, love and joy. I have put painstaking attention to detail to make sure that everything remained original and period correct. This truck has been washed and detailed every 1-2 weeks since I have owned it. She gets more love and attention than anything else in my life. Why am I selling her? I have always been a 620 guy in my heart of hearts. So I know that there is a dude out there who loves 720's more than I do. This one is for you. You will not likely come across a black on black 1980 720 in this condition. Please call or text anytime with inquiries or questions.
