Datsun 510 anyone?

MrAdams · 06-17-2009, 12:37 PM

Ok I was going to post in the FS wanted section but it doesn't post across the boards... SO!! I was curious.
Does anyone out there have a 1969-1973 Datsun 510 2 door with a manual trans?
I have been looking for a while and most are already fixed up and people are asking over $5000 complete. I am looking for a project car to build now that I have a little bit of time on my hands. If anyone knows of one or has one for sale or just wants it out of their hands please shoot me a PM

Here's what I'm kinda looking for....

maybe not in that good of shape of course but just for the people that don't know what I'm talking about.
Thanks all

Seen this car in person..absolutely gorgeous and brutely fast.

SupremeDTM · 06-17-2009, 09:49 PM

ive always wanted to build one. prices always fluctuate, sometimes u can get real lucky.

Hoothout · 06-17-2009, 11:01 PM

kinda looks like an e30, hmmm haha

YellowFinger · 06-18-2009, 01:26 AM

e30 is better..just go for one

BillLee · 06-18-2009, 09:29 AM

seen a couple of those around in the local junkyard. they looked like they were in good condition too.

Perpetrator · 06-18-2009, 09:48 AM

for years I'll randomly look for a 510 to hopefully score. they're hard to find in the condition you want. most are either fully race-built, or are incomplete hack jobs. good luck....def a beautiful classic.

My wife, then G/f at that time had the 4 door version...

All I can say it had the most expensive brakes to overhaul and replace. Most of the parts you could only get from Datsun, I use to do my mustang brakes for under $100 at the time and that Damn thing cost me $400. I told the G/F I'll do your brakes no problem. Had to marry her to make sure I got my money back...

I hope it is a different story today.

haha cool story. hope you got your moneys worth. I think it's a different story now considering there is no Datsun really. most parts are available at like car parts stores. but I would put Wilwood brakes on it anyways.
