You know what has virtually disappeared within the American Car Scene? Sensible, cheap, and reliable 2-Door Sporty Japanese Coupes and I wonder how that happened. Does everything have to be a High-Riding SUV or Crossover thingy? Do you have to have gigantic cars just to drive yourself to work? Do you have to have the latest Euro-Prick machine to impress your family and (really not) your friends? Well, let’s go back to 1983, when Nissan introduced this very unusual looking, wedge shaped, 2-door sport coupe to America, and this one is a time capsule…


According to the listing on eBay:

1983 Datsun Pulsar NX. This is the first year of production for the 2 door coupe. This is all original down to the fuel filter. 41,000 original miles.(CHECK THE AUTOCHECK REPORT) A true time capsule from 1983. A true collectors piece. Guaranteed to never find one like it.
Originally bought in Sacramento at Florin Road Datsun. The car still has its original license plates along with the Datsun dealership license plate frames from 1983.

The original owner rarely drove the car. Just back and forth to church and weekend errands. Kept in her garage its whole life, there is no sun damage to the interior or even the back of the rear seat were the sun beats down through the rear window. The interior is really clean. No rips or tears on any of the seats, door panels, carpets or headliner. It shows near new! Original radio that still sounds great. Sunroof flips up easily and it does have the sun cover for it. (in the truck picture) All instruments work including heater, tachometer, odometer and speedometer. (Only the clock is in-op)

The exterior is all original with all of its original decals still intact. Paint still shines very well. Original hubcaps are all still in great shape. No accidents. Very clean underneath as well. Brand new tires. The motor runs very well. Everything is original even the fuel filter. I replaced the timing belt, which was original, due to the age of it. Original spark plug wires, radiator, hoses, fuel lines, everything. Its amazing to see. Trunk carpet is very clean. No stains or rips. Even has its original spare tire that has never been mounted to the car. It still has its original stick on the rim for installation procedures.

Original radio in working condition. All original interior. No rips or tears. Very clean interior and exterior.
All original decals. Smooth running motor and transmission. THERE IS NO A/C. The car was ordered without it.
PLEASE LOOK AT THE AUTOCHECK REPORT. THE MILES ARE ORIGINAL!!!!! You can see that the miles were recorded just about every two years when it was smogged.

With about eight hours to go until the listing ends (as of this writing) the top bid so far is $2,500, with an unmet reserve. This car should really go for a price that’s quite a bit higher than that, but what do you think? Take a look at thr listing, and share your thoughts… [sc:ebay itemid=”231450411726″ linktext=”1983 Nissan Pulsar NX Two Door 510 Z ” ]
