Re: 1969 Datsun 1600 Bluebird SSS 2dr Coupe

[Richard Clough]

There are some 1600(P510) SSS 2 door coupes in Aus.  A few were privately imported new from Japan.  A friend owned one in the late 1970's, originally imported by a local Datsun dealer for personal use.  I have seen recent pictures of it on the net.  510 2 door coupes have many different upper panels and glass from the front screen back, but share doors with the 2 door sedan.  You can import them from the US for about 7-9K landed here (depends on their condition)   The last of the US coupes had that full width style of rear tail light assembly.  Personally I think this styling detracted from the rear body panel design.     There was one recent Japanese import coupe sold in Melbourne early last year for around $7000, I thought hard about buying it, but it was in need of body restoration (rust repairs).    In the US there are many 2 door sedans. These are basically 4 door 510 with the B pillar fitted 100mm further to the rear, longer front doors, and a longer rear quarter panel.  The roof panel and both screens are the same as a 4 door.  You can't confuse these with a coupe, they have an identical sihouette to a 4 door sedan.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Benstead Car Co.
