- Stanzas tend to disappear into the background a bit (okay, a lot), yet this first-year 1982 3-door hatchback stood out today as we walked by it, reminding that there was a time when a Datsun was also badged as a Nissan, sold by Datsun, and advertised seemingly both ways, as a Datsun and/or a Nissan. Very rarely seen nowadays especially in this format (the 5-door seemed the most popular), this 1982 Stanza is in excellent condition considering its age. While actually NOT Nissan's first FWD offering (that would be the 1970s Cherry and F10 models which I forgot about in the video!) this though tried to take the fight to the Camry and Accord, successfully at first, but then those two overtook it. The Stanza eventually became the Altima and just like Datsuns carried the Nissan name as well for a while (like this one did), the first Altima in 1993 actually had a little Stanza logo on it as well.

that interior is beautiful, i love the red gradient on the seats. ive got two stanza wagons and would love a first gen hatchback. two doors are the least common of them all
The wagons are really cool, there was an '86 at this yard recently, sadly no video of it though. Yes the seats are neat on this one, they could have just went bland overall red but spiced it up a bit. I can't recall the last 2-door I've seen of these. Thanks for watching!
That is in pretty good condition, makes you wonder why its there, most of that era here were North south engine thank for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thanks for the video. A very interesting car indeed. Here in Russia we mostly know it as JDM Nissan Violet though - most of hatchbacks were sporty spec with black or brown interior (no crimson colors).
people in colorado really love to throw away such rare 80s/90s/70s gems a lot. Id have happily bought that and saved it. Im headed there tommorow so ill see it up close!
Please try to rescue it. I remember seeing it on a facebook car page in 2023. It wasn't painted red by the 5 year old who last had possession of it.
Man I wish I didn't see this. I remember when the car was still alive last year somebody took a photo of it that I saved (before it was vandalized with red paint). I'm sad and angry at the same time these are very very rare. Got one myself and will never sell it.
You knew this particular car? You're right though, I don't recall the last time I saw a 3door, although the last couple of 5doors I've seen were also in junkyards. All were red inside too...hmm.
Yes the same car. I can send you a pic of it in the parking lot of a home depot if you want. 82-84 was the 2 door hatch years '84 being the rarest. Mine is a 1984.@@jimmythejunkyarddawg
No I believe you, just surprised you knew the car and then saw it here as well! They're good cars, surely underrated. Congrats on the 40th B-day for your car! And thanks for watching!
Thanks man i've got a bunch of Nissans from this era they are my life.@@jimmythejunkyarddawg
