Had a straight 6 with 6 1 barrel carburetors.

Wait, you can stop right there- you just earned yourself a H5.

I think it was a Datsun b210 4 door, manual transmission.

It was bug ugly, and I had to work on it a lot. But it was kinda like a pinto, show it some love and it keeps on going.

I actually like those.  I think they came with a little A12 or A13 engine (I can't remember) that just sipped fuel.  My favorite are the fastback coupes with three windows down the side of the car.

I don't know, if I kinda squinted out one eye my car kinda looked like a poor mans Saab.

I will say, I also had a Datsun Maxima that was a fricken tank, I wouldn't be surprised if that thing was not at least donating parts to running cars..

An early one with the inline six?  Yeah, those things were tanks.

I loved my B210. That car was built to run. I joined the Army in 86, I gave the car away with over 200K miles. Change the oil regularly and the plugs once in awhile and they just keep going and going.
