I read that there were 33,000 M715s produced in 3 years. Does anybody have an idea how many remain in the U.S. today, in operable condition?

I would say thats like asking how many M35's are out there. So many M715 went to the forestry service and different fire departments also to the Korean army and other country's. M715 still pop up every now and then in Government actions there is really no telling. Plus Off roaders also loved them for the axles. My dad picked up a M725 about three or four years ago that was still being used by a government agency.

Maybe a high ranking law enforcment type could find out. A few months ago, here in Wa, a police officer was murdered by a man driving a white Datsun B210. Within hours all the local news outlets were reporting that only 5 white 210's were on current record in the entire state.

On a side note.....datsunaholic was NOT the shooter! I met him this past weekend at a rally. Seems like a great guy!

Check out www.M715zone.com . They maintain a great registry.

You could find out how many are registered, either on regular registration or collector(historic/antique/etc) plates, but that won't show how many were on municipal "Exempt" plates, as they aren't "in the system". My CUCV's VIN wasn't in the computer even though it had municipal plates for over 10 years. And the Historical plates won't be a true number if someone destroyed one and never reported it, as most historical plates aren't renewed year-to-year.

According to my Datsun support group, everyone who had a '80-82 210 was getting a visit from Law enforcement while the search was going on. I know a lady who has one of the "4 white 210s". As it turned out the car was registered as being Blue, as that's what color it was before the shooter repainted it.

I would say there are still a bunch out there. I have had over thirty of them in the last several years. Here are the ones I have and have had.
