Datsuns? In Hot Rod Magazine? In 1976? No way!

August 24, 2015 by Greg

Yes way. In February 1976, Hot Rod Magazine (which we ALL read and enjoyed) did a feature on not one, but THREE Datsun models from 1976… and modded them to boot!

The team at Creative Car Craft in El Segundo, California took a Datsun B210 sedan, a 620 Lil’ Hustler long bed pickup, and a 280Z and completely reworked the drivetrain, interior, and suspension.

We thought you’d really enjoy reading the article – it’s interesting to see what techniques were used then vs. now, as well as the driving impressions of the cars!
