Can anyone provide more info on the range of options available for selection, on new Autstralian and Japanese Datsun 1600's from the factory?

I know of the following (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong);

These are for the GL?

- Clock option for the dash
- Tacho option
- Push button to activate high beams on indicator stalk
- Glovebox lock
- 5 way ignition barrel
- Reclining seats for the front
- Radio
- Heater unit
- Head rests

What were the differences between the Standard and GL?

I think the GL was an exercise in Badge Engineering. different hubcaps and a GL badge from memory

All the above options were probably only available on the GL.

I would kill to see an option card...

The original white 72 GL i used to own had grey plastics on the glovebox and instrument panels instead of the usual black. It also had a fancy seat material pattern, not plain like the standard models. The steering wheel was leather bound and there were chrome mouldings that ran along the feature line of the body and doors. Lots of differences if you sit down and compare the two...

my 510 hasn't got a stereo or even head rests from factory
was they a optional extra?
no bumper stops either?
but ha a little portable radio does the trick just fine


cruisey

Cigarette lighter was optional
passengers door rear view mirror
under sill Chrome trim
column shift or floor shift
front bench seat to make it a 6 seater
arm rests on doors


other options that I assume are from Imports & not Australian assembled
under dash airconditioning
chrome surrounds on roof drainage rails
square Fog lamps embedded into Grill
Engine bay lamp
window wind deflectors
fender mounted rear view mirrors
orange fog lamps where highbeams go
center console

Over-riders on the bumper bars?
