The 1971 Datsun 1600 Pickup---internally designated as part of the Datsun 521 generation---is a highly sought-after vintage compact mini-truck. Renowned for its 'flat-deck' styling and car-like driving dynamics, this vehicle played a pivotal role in establishing the compact truck segment in North America. Pristine surviving models, such as the famous 'Sweet Pea' truck, have even been formally acquired for Nissan's Heritage Collection. The North American variant of the 1971 model stood out from previous iterations by incorporating a larger, more reliable powertrain: - Engine: 1.6-liter Inline-4 (The legendary overhead-cam Nissan L16). - Power Output: Approximately 96 horsepower. - Transmission: 4-speed manual all-synchromesh gearbox. - Chassis Code: 521 Variant. - Payload Capacity: Marketed as a half-ton utility truck. - Fuel Economy: Exceptionally efficient for its era, averaging around 26 MPG. Introduced as a successor to the 520 series, the 521 variant featured a distinct facelift. It moved away from curved lines toward a flattened hood, updated grille, and straight-sided bed. Often marketed in advertisements under the 'Li'l Hustler' moniker, it quickly won over consumers who needed light hauling capabilities without the massive footprint or fuel consumption of domestic full-sized trucks. This rare Datsun 1600 pickup has been a part of the Duncan Imports collection and is in outstanding condition. With only 58,000 original miles, everything on this truck is original, exactly how it left the showroom, with the exception of a new battery. The original owner drove this truck 6 miles back and forth to work every day, for over 30 years. The original Wally Tucker Datsun, Inc., sales slip comes with the vehicle, as does the original key fob, original owner's manual, and even the two little keys that lock and unlock the antenna.
