Sweet & Simple: 1965 Datsun 320 Pick-Up

This 1965 Datsun 320 (chassis L320011764D) is described as a one-owner California truck, though the seller doesn’t seem to be including themselves in the count. The truck looks unusually good inside and out, and the ad says that paint finish is original and “restored.” Mechanicals sound to be very good as well, the seller claiming a strong running engine that exhibits no smoke, leaks, or strange noises when running. Find it here on eBay in Palm Springs, California for $11k. Beige suits the little truck’s utilitarian vibe, and the seller reports that finish is both original and restored–perhaps they’re referring to a correction process. There’s some paint wearing visible around the rear of the bed, which would seem to suggest this might be the case. Brightwork looks good, and original glass appears to be undamaged. New Hanook whitewalls are mounted over the stock steel wheels. The interior looks pretty tidy, with a crack-free dash, clean vinyl floors, and and good looking fabrics. The seats and door trim panels have been reupholstered in a tasteful two-tone scheme, and there’s new carpeted floor mats, though their color doesn’t quite match the other tones. All lights and gauges are reported to be working. Note the emergency brake handle mounted on the floor between the seat and driver’s door. An 1189cc four cylinder provides about 60 HP through the 4-speed, floor shifted transmission. Both the engine and tranny are said to have undergone a rebuild at some point, but a timeframe isn’t given. Other new parts mentioned include hoses, belts, radiator, and battery. New brakes, wheel cylinders, and a clutch have also been installed. The odometer shows just shy of 114k miles.
