1970 Datsun 1000 Ute – Fully Built Old School Street Ute
Very regretful sale.
If you know Datsuns, you know how hard it is to find a clean 1000 ute — let alone one that’s been built properly with this much character.
This isn’t your average thrown together project. It’s a properly sorted old-school street ute with a tough naturally aspirated setup, heaps of money spent, and attention to detail throughout.
Perfect cruiser, show car, promo car, weekend toy, or old-school JDM/Aussie collector piece.
Engine / Performance
* A14 engine conversion
* A12 cylinder head conversion for higher compression setup
* Built to maximise naturally aspirated power and responsiveness
* Twin Dellorto carburettors professionally tuned
* Strong old-school carb sound and throttle response
* Custom fuel system setup
* Brand new fuel pump
* Brand new fuel lines throughout
Interior / Cabin
* Entire interior redone
* Brand new carpet throughout
* Stage 1 & Stage 2 sound deadening completed
* Momo Mod 88 steering wheel
* Aftermarket RPM gauge with programmable shift light set at 4,000 RPM
* Very clean old-school cabin feel
Audio
* Full sound system installed
* Subwoofer + tweeters
* Sound system hits hard and sounds unreal
Exterior / Body
* Tough lowered stance
* Fake tubbed rear look for aggressive appearance
* Aftermarket XY mirrors fitted and colour matched
* Clean bright yellow paint that gets attention everywhere
* 17 inch chrome wheel setup suits the car perfectly
* Genuine head-turner — people constantly stop and ask about it
Other
* Approx. 18,224km shown
* Classic registration
* Extremely rare to find in this condition
* Old-school Japanese ute market keeps getting stronger
* Starts, drives, sounds and presents tough
Honest Notes
This is still an old classic car, so please don’t expect a brand new showroom vehicle.
The body presents well overall, but like most older builds it does have some imperfections including:
* small paint cracks
* a few paint bubbles
* minor marks/chips
* age-related imperfections around some edges and panels
None of it takes away from the overall look of the ute, and it still presents tough and gets attention everywhere it goes. I’d rather be upfront and honest so serious buyers know exactly what they’re looking at.
This ute has the perfect mix of:
* old-school Japanese style
* Aussie street ute attitude
* naturally aspirated simplicity
* and clean custom touches
You could take it to shows, weekend cruises, Cars & Coffee, or use it as a business/showpiece promo vehicle.
You genuinely do not see many Datsun 1000 utes around anymore — especially built like this.
Only selling due to moving onto other projects.
No swaps. No time wasters. Serious buyers only.
You will not find another one with this style, sound, and presence easily.
