A 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX, found in a Colorado self-service wrecking yard. It's a coupe! It's a wagon! It's a convertible! Sort of.
The Nissan Pulsar first appeared in the United States as the 1979 Datsun 310, then came back four years later in hatchback and coupe form. The Pulsar hatchbacks got dropped here for 1984, leaving just the Pulsar NX . For the 1987 model year, the N13 Pulsar showed up in American Nissan dealerships, and it was a fascinating little car. Here's one of those second-generation Pulsar NXs, found in a Denver-area yard recently.
By far the coolest feature of the 1987-1990 Pulsar NX was the swappable rear body attachments. This car has the coupe piece, but it also came with a wagon-shaped"Sportbak" attachment as well. You could leave the attachment off completely and get a quasi-convertible, though this was more fun when you removed the the T-top roof panels.
The engine is a fuel-injected version of the 1.6-liter SOHC straight-four that went into the base '87 Sentra, rated at 70 horsepower and 94 pound-feet. It came with factory air conditioning . That Fujitsu TEN AM/FM/cassette radio appears to be either aftermarket or swapped from a different car. It would have been ideal for listening to the unforgettable popular music of the era.
