Names for various flavors of the Nissan Sunny got very confusing during the 1970s and 1980s. Starting in the 1978 model year, the front-wheel-drive replacement for the B210— known as the B310 within Nissan— kept the "210″ name in the United States (meanwhile, you could also buy "510s" that were actually A10 Violets), later evolving into the car that became the Sentra. These were cheap but reliable (for the time) misery boxes, competing with the likes of the Chrysler Omnirizon, and so very few of them escaped The Crusher when they started wearing out in the early 1990s. Here's a rare example that I found in Southern California in January.
The Datsun name had just a few years to go at this point.
I can't tell the A12 engine from the A14 at a glance; either way, this thing delivers well under 75 horsepower.
Pretty typical late-70s econobox interior. At least this car has a manual transmission.
