Silvester

I'm extremely fortunate to be out here doing what I'm doing!

Pics!

Here is a picture of the undercarriage, looks like a standard 620 platform.

And she's a driver! Looks perfect next to my V520

:D

Well, I'm moving indefinitely. If I move on somewhere else this will be shipped to my garage in Southern California. I'm traveling with a surfboard, a bicycle, my fishing gear and some Clothes. The thread is about this cool car though!!

Yes I said it, just when i sold all my belongings to move to Costa Rica, including my 2 datsun 620's, and my 69' 510 wagon, this Datsun was presented to me by fluke. I recently found a room to rent in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica, being offered by the lessee (Misty). This room was being subleased to a gentleman named Kevin. Kevin was moving out and his room became available to rent. Kevin was leaving Costa Rica to start his journey in another part of the world (much like i'm doing). The lessee texted me this morning saying " oh by the way, my previous tenant (Kevin) is selling his 1966 datsun 510, are you interested?" Keep in mind, this lady has no idea who I am and knows nothing of me owning Datsuns. First I was like: :confused: :confused: :confused: 66 510? Let me see this thing. When i saw the pictures: :rofl: :rofl: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:. I purchased it sight unseen. I wont see it until the new year but here are some pics!

Should I shell it and bring it to canny? What do you think boys and girls?

Above, please restore that to the original color!!! Those polished slot mags are tits

Saw a beautiful 510 4 door just now driving down the 101 in central California near Santa margarita. It was original orange too

wtf!!! Lol too funny.

Yup. That's where i found it.

Yes these will all be kept original and stored indoors. Not to worry.

Before i go into details, Ill give you some pictures of how i found her, just to wet your whistle. Dipping the tip, per se. My Datsun addiction has been more rampant than ever. Couple months ago I picked up this this nasty clean 510 wagon: And as of two weeks ago i'm the proud owner of another 78' 620 DLX 5 spd. with dealer A/C. As some of you know i already have one identical to this new one, year and all. Unfortunately I got her with a slight tick, thinking it was valve clearance issues. Out of nowhere this loud tick turned into an even louder clatter. I quickly shut it down and dissembled the motor to find Cyl. 1 intake valve seat fell out. Not to worry, a nice head rebuild and the truck runs like a sewing machine. Drove it 100 miles to the IE Datsun meet last weekend. Here is how she sits today: Enjoy!
