That Datsun 310 had an absolute top shaking speed of about 65.
The Datsun B210, the above described "econobox" ended up being passed around and I ended up with it. I think it topped out around 80, maybe 85. It cruised nicely around 70 mph at 39 mpg! Not bad for a car built in 1977!
The Datsun B210 had a 1.6 liter, 70 hp, carbureted engine. If the tires had been replaced with 60 psi tires, and the engine replaced with a 1 liter OHC FI engine, I bet the thing would get better than 50 mpg. It was very aerodynamic.
Mine was dark blue.
