Junkyard Find: 1981 Datsun 200SX Coupe

We've seen a couple of the S110's successor, the S12, in this series: this '86 200SX and this '86 200SX Turbo, and that's it. Late last week, I spotted this faded but unrusty two-tone '81 at a Northern California wrecking yard.

Anyway, I've got at least four of the things in my hoard at this point.

The US-market ads for this car were a little boring, but such was not the case in Japan. 01 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 02 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 03 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 05 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 06 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 07 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 08 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 09 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 14 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 16 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 17 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 18 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 19 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 20 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 21 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 22 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 23 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 24 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 25 - 1981 Datsun 200SX Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee Martin
