The mighty Datsun 1200 is an iconic car that is easily recognised throughout the world. They are highly desirable among enthusiasts and if you come across one in good condition for a good price you’d better snap it up straight away or you might lose it. Daniel Pusey had his first Datsun 1200 when he was seventeen but it was destroyed by a horrific hail storm. One of Daniel’s mates bought the car you see here to use as a daily driver but as soon as Daniel laid eyes on it he just had to have it. It took a year of nagging and begging before Daniel finally sealed the deal during a late night round of brewskies. He paid the fifteen hundred price right there and then and went home with an original car that had only 45000 miles on the clock.
Like the Evo you see here, Dom’s taste evolved into what was the start of big things for the triple diamond brand. - Photoshoot by Just Dave www.dragphotos.com.au
Rick Farnell HK Holden Drag ute - Sometimes it takes vision to see the potential of a car. In the case of the ’68 HK Holden ute you see here, it’s doubtful that even the owner, Rick Farnell, would have completely envisioned the eventual product. In fact, when Rick first bought the car, powered by a 186 red motor, for just $700 in 1999, his plan was to build a tough streeter for the dual purpose of cruising and drag racing.
