We weren’t aware of the fact that somebody had opened the gates of Datsun Hell, but this is the only reasonable explanation for the appearance of the creature we have before us.
We are talking about a 1965 Datsun 410... monster truck. The body was mounted on a 1978 Datsun truck chassis, being powered by a 2.0-liter four-banger that works with a four-speed manual tranny.

This Datsun has four-wheel drive, with a two-speed transfer case, so whenever you feel troubled, you can switch to low gear and enjoy the pleasure of the non-assisted steering and brakes. Among the vehicle’s details, we find the tow bar for flat towing. And, according to the guy who made this, the car “is an amazingly rust free vehicle considering it is a ’65 Datsun”

Oh yes, we forgot to mention this. The Datsun monster truck is up for grans on Craigslist, with only US$ 3,500 separating you from this automotive sin, which can be found in Delta, Baltimore.

The seller even has a sugar coating for the whole thing “Offers will be considered and only trades interested in are sand rail or dune buggy type vehicles. Come see it in person and fall in love with it. Everywhere you drive this thing people want to stop and look and take pictures.”
