eBay Auction of the Day: 1970 Nissan Bluebird SSS Coupe
Datsun's 510 may have been considered sporty in its heyday, but American consumers were never truly able to see the car in its most powerful form - sold elsewhere around the globe as the Nissan Bluebird SSS. If you're still sulking about that, fret not - a pristine 1970 example is up for grabs on eBay Motors.
If the fender-mounted mirrors didn't give it away, this was an original Japanese-market car, so you'll have to practice your left-handed shift technique. You'll have an extra gear to practice with, too; the owner's swapped in a five-speed gearbox, as well as fitting a larger sway bar and modified springs in the name of speed and steering.
With only 35,000 miles on the odometer, this Bluebird is in remarkable condition, sporting the original mono AM setup and seat covers. If you're truly worried about originality, the OEM transmission and suspension parts are provided, allowing the SSS to be returned to stock with little work. That said, we think the car still looks stock, and that five-speed helps squeeze the most from that 100-horsepower 1.6-liter I-4. This SSS would be a fun ride as-is.

I saw a picture of a 1971 Isuzu 117 coupe, which closely resembles this Nissan. I must confess they are quite handsome.
Anyone see the coverage of the 1970s Celica in this month's Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car?
