Nissan Australia rebadged the Japanese Bluebird 610 Series as the 180B, built in Australia for the local market from 1972.
The racy two-door SSS as well as the volume-selling four-door sedan and wagon were powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
All are rear-wheel drive, with a choice four-speed manual or three-speed auto transmission. It was on sale until 1977.
The line-up currently starts at POA for the 180B SSS and ranges through to POA for the range-topping 180B SSS.
