Junkyard Find: 1977 Datsun 810 Station Wagon

18 - 1977 Datsun 810 Wagon Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee MartinThe Datsun 810 wagon was a fairly common sight on the streets of Northern California during the Middle and Late Malaise Eras, sort of the semi-sporty wagon choice for families who wanted a family hauler with a bit of 280Z in its genes. The Datsun 810 became the Datsun Maxima by the early 1980s and the Nissan Maxima by 1984, and all of the rear-drive members of this family have become rare finds these days. We've seen this '82 Maxima and this '78 810 wagon so far in this series; those two cars and today's 810 were all shot during trips to California wrecking yards. I don't know if they even existed outside of a 50-mile radius from San Francisco.
