510Finn Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Hi, I'm currently in the market for a 510 wagon or 4 door with an engine swap (KA, SR, VQ). I must be relatively complete drivable condition is preferred, engine running is desired but not a must, and No major damage or rust. It cannot be chopped up or modified with flares or sunroof. Please contact me if you have seen or have one for sale. I have a budget of around 5k. Edited May 31, 2009 by 510Finn Link to comment

qwik510 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 How about this one? http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=12287 Up for sale is a 1969 Datsun 510 4 door. I am helping my friend (Lou) sell it as I have more time to respond to emails and questions. All info is from the owner, Lou. The car is from Fall River, Massachusetts. The original owner bought it new but didn't drive it much due to her age. She passed away and her son took the car but he was too large to drive it comfortably so he sold it to Lou. Lou currently has a sweet 2 door 510 and is a 510 lover and was a Datsun Mechanic in the 1970s. He knows 510s. This car is extremely nice and well-preserved car is in its original stock condition. It has an automatic transmission and a factory vinyl top. The mileage is 139,000 miles and it has been well cared for and garaged and properly maintained its entire life. The body is very straight with no dents. There are a few scratches but this is typical for age of the repaint. It was repainted about 12 years ago in a nicer, brighter color than the original. The car is being sold because it is not being used. Lou bought the car for his wife to drive it but it just sits in the garage longing for someone to take it out and enjoy the ride. This is a solid car that deserves to be kept in stock condition. However, it would also be an excellent starting point for a nice project. It is being offer at $5500 or best serious cash offer. No tire kickers, low-ballers or scammers please. The car is currently in New Hampshire. We have a great transport company that can bring it to you at your expense. Don’t miss out on this sweet 510. Cars in this condition don’t come along too often, especially on the east coast. Email qwik510@aol.com for more info. Link to comment

510Finn Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 saw this onehttp://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/1189557248.html I called the seller and left a voice message to call me, still haven't heard back from him. Link to comment
510Finn Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thats cleaner than any car I've ever owned. Very true, but it doesn't meet my requirement and also it's in NH. Link to comment
qwik510 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Very true, but it doesn't meet my requirement and also it's in NH. You can have it shipped and do your own swap. Link to comment
510Finn Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 You can have it shipped and do your own swap. Thanks, but it will be over my budget. Link to comment
xlr8r Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 If you can up your budget to $15K you can have the only VQ swapped Dime there is. :D http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=11015 I don't want to come across as a jerk but honestly $5K isn't going to get you anywhere near the drivers seat of a VQ swapped 510, maybe an SR swapped one that is half done (http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=9936), but $5K can get you a KA swapped Dime.

I don't want to come across as a jerk but honestly $5K isn't going to get you anywhere near the drivers seat of a VQ swapped 510, maybe an SR swapped one that is half done (http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=9936), but $5K can get you a KA swapped Dime. I've seen some very nice clean dimes for around 6k, not a KA or SR swapped one, but this one is a Rayjay turbo L20B - http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/1198175575.html I would consider this, but it's a 2dr, and I really wanted a 4dr or a goon. This one looks like a winner. Edited June 5, 2009 by 510Finn Link to comment

510Finn Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I want that turbo kit but the guy wont part with it If I were the guy selling it, I probably wouldn't part with it either. Keep it with the car and atleast keep it with the engine. How rare is that turbo setup anyway? Link to comment
510Finn Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I saw this '70 4DR on CL sacto, maybe WagDatto can take a look at it? http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/1205444607.html I would be interested in this, but I still think he's asking a bit much for it... maybe not? Link to comment
inline4 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 did you jump on the 3k one in berkeley? Link to comment
510Finn Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 did you jump on the 3k one in berkeley? I called the guy 'Matt' twice and left VM with my cell phone and I said I am interested. Never heard back from him. I think he took the car off the market, his ad was also removed from CL. Link to comment
