1984 Datsun Nissan 810 Maxima 5-speed

Not quite as cool as a 1969 Datsun 510 but still very fun to drive, esp. with the 5-speed!
Most people these days, even many Nissan fanboys, do not realize that THIS was the
1st generation of the Nissan / Datsun Maxima. Rear Wheel Drive, Independent Rear
Suspension, powered by a fuel injected variant of the same basic inline-six motor that
was used in the 1970s Z-cars. (Datsun 240Z) This was truly a "four door sports car",
unlike those FWD over-sized Altimas they call a Maxima these days.
