The 1200 Coupe is the one with fastbackᵂ styling.
Contents |
[edit]
Overview
Datsun 1200 coupeᵂ is implemented as a fastback body. It is not a hatchback, but has a small trunk (boot) lid, which opens directly into the passenger compartment.
Aggressive fastback styling, Italian influenced interior.
1200 Sports Coupe
The 1200 Sports Coupe sneaks through city traffic, then streaks along the highway — all at up to 30 miles per gallon.
Engineering basics include a high-cam engine and 4-speed stick shift. There's a fold-down back seat for storage. Safety front disc brakes, reclining front buckets, whitewall and deluxe wheel covers round out the package.
from: A Gallery of Datsun Originals brochure
Coupe was never available in STD trim, so it has the upper scale fitments such as round gauges.
Fastback has a small trunk (it is not a hatchback/liftback)
Coupes take especially well to custom touches
In USA, coupe outsold 2-dr Sedan by more than two to one
- 2-dr Coupe: 89,541
- 2-dr Sedan: 43,761
[edit]
So what's the difference between a 2-dr 'sedan' and a 2-dr 'coupe'?'
2-doors Explained
2-dr Coupe | 2-dr Sedan
Material Differences
Coupe is same as all other 1200s from the cowl forward — the same hood, fender and bumpers are used by the Coupe, sedan, wagon and early 1200 trucks. The grille is unique to the coupe, although it fits on a sedan so the grille is only a cosmetic difference.
Aft of the firewall, all is different:
- Windshield is lower
- Doors are longer (matching the 2-door sedan), and folding seats are standard
- Rear Seat folds down in order to lengthen cargo area
- Fuel tank is under the trunk (sedan tank is behind seat)
- Rear shocks are staggered for superior control (same as truck/van)
- Taillights are long rectangle, somehow looking more timeless than the sedan versions
- Rear bumper is unique (number plate fits under bumper)
In USA, coupes invariably came with GL-type hubcaps, though DX-type were optional.

Compared to Sedan
Aside from the fastback body style, the Coupe is different from the 2-door Sedan in many subtle ways, including these:
- Shocks mounted at angle
-
- Sporty plastic Grille instead of formal stainless grille
- Folding rear seat
- Blackout side window trim
-
- B-pillar trim (Sedan has no trim)
-
- Trim was painted black on all coupe along with black door window frames.
-
- Coupes were not available in STD trim. Therefore, all coupes came with round gauge dash. STD sedans came with rectangular gauge dash
- Coupe Seats: sporty. Sedan seats: plush
- Doors have lower height in a coupe, windshield angle different. Uses a different windshield
- Coupes came with GL Hubcaps, 2-dr sedans DX caps
- Unique taillights
- Rear license plate is below bumper, necessitating a unique bumper
- Full interior Door Cards
