Topic: Datsun 510s

So ive been looking for a datsun 510 on and off for about a year and can't seem to find one to even go look at.  I would like a 2door manual in fixable condition but would be interested in any door trans combo as long as its fixable.  I've check the 510 forums, craigslist, ebay etc but no luck.  I know they are hard to find in the midwest and wouldnt mind travling a little to get one.

Anyone have a magic location or forum, website where i can find one?  Is it a pipe dream to try an find one in the midwest?

Im not looking to use it as a Lemons car, just a nice driver with a few light mods.

Re: Datsun 510s

Datsuns rust so bad I wouldn't want one from the midwest even if i did find one there.

I happened to find a 510 in the background of an ad on craigslist for a corvair. He was cleaning out 500 cars from his dads property and only listed the cars that weren't "scrap." I bought a 65 chevy C20, and he basically threw in the 510 for free. 4 door, fairly solid car.

It's just yard art at the moment, But better in my yard than the shredder.

Had I been thinking, there were about 5 others I should have saved from there. Top of the list was a Rust free 69 Econoline. There were only about 40 cars left by the time we got there, Apparently he already sent 2 510s to the shredder. He only thought the muscle cars were worth something, which were the first to get sold.

Nice yard art, I figured searchtempest out and I'm finding more 510s but they are all far away.  Your right about wanting one from the midwest, they are just not around anymore.  Your car looks decent in the photo, hard to tell the extent of the rust looks like its a good start to a project.  Is it a manual or auto?

I may need to scrape this idea until I find my self out west and can find one to ship/drive back to IL.

Re: Datsun 510s

Yeah;  Datsun 510's and Midwest just don't go together. Cars of that era, especially Japanese cars came pre-rusted.  The salt air on the boat over gets it started and all you need to do is drive it in the rain/snow and your can get rust through in less than 5 years.  I haven't seen a street legal one, other then at car show in 20-25 years!  I've seen a few on the race track however.

Thanks!

Spank, I'm sorry I missed your email last week.  It went to my junk folder, its fixed now.

Re: Datsun 510s

I'm still looking for a 510 if anyone knows of one for sale or sitting somewhere.  The closest I came to getting one was from Idaho but the shipping was more then the car.

mgbgt89 I sent you an email, hows that 510 yard art doing?  Ready to sell it?

Re: Datsun 510s

My friend didn't take the 510  mentioned.  sorry

If its clean enough to fix I would be interested.  Does it have a title?  does it have floor pans or are the rusted out?  how much are you looking to sell it for and where are you located?  You can email me if thats easier gsxr_600@hotmail.com

Sir Thomas, thanks for the email I saw that one
