This Datsun 210 was once loved and used by West Coast Chopper's Jesse James, but life wasn't always sunny for this Japanese classic. Internet gossip has it that Jesse grew tired of the 210 and traded it in for a newer (but still used) Von D-type covered in custom paint but many more miles and a rebuilt title.
Find this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for sale in Austin, TX currently bidding for $7,300 on ebay with 1 day to go sold by ebay seller "Pope-of-Welding."
The Datsun 210 was a frugal 2-door from Japan, called the Nissan Sunny in Japanese showrooms. The B210 generation (1973-1983) arrived at a time when its 1.4 liter inline-4 cylinder putting out 80 horsepower was welcome when filling the tank at the gas station. As an added bonus, the front-engine rear drive chassis 210 tips the scales at only 2100 lbs so performance wasn't that bad.
The Honey Bee package was a graphics/cosmetic option specific to North America that really didn't add much more than a sleepy bumble bee to the fenders, but today are considered cool and sell for much more than a standard 210.
