Bob3 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well I finally got a GOON! It's a 1968 510 Wagon from Arizona. It is (from what I've seen so far) totally rust free!!! I drove 1852 miles and spent $650 to go get a $400 car! Here are some pics . . . More to come! Bob :D 1 Quote Link to comment

That is the Acura NSX that my buddy Jeff & I race. A pic of a pic of me racing the car a few years ago. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah Bob! Great find! That looks exactly like the one I know of in Nebraska...only without the front damage and with a little rust...it's also 400 bucks and is a 1968. Seems like thats a great car for the money man! I like the idea of having no rust to deal with, and since it has been in that JY for a while...I am guessing that you won't find any either! Rust sucks! Nice starting point for sure! Looking forward to seeing more! :cool: Quote Link to comment

72wagun Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Your 520 build is one of my favorite threads, and 510 wagons are my favorite Datsuns, so I can't wait to see what you end up doing. You kinda set the bar high with the 520. Are you planning something similar , or just a cool street car? Quote Link to comment
turbojunker Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I spy GRM stickers on the NSX. Nice. I'm wearing my $2008 Challenge shirt right now. :lol: Quote Link to comment
Yakuza Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Man...I cant wait to see this...im sure its going to be as NICE as the truck.... Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Last night I put The Opposition on the scales. It has No battery & No seats, everything else is there. L/F 515 R/F 480 L/R 435 R/R 463 1893 lbs total! It's 105 lbs lighter than the MX520 ! ! ! Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I call the 1968 Goon "The Opposition" . . . explanation below . . . Here's the story. I drive to Phoenix to get the wagon. I get it all loaded up and I'm excited. I drive 926 miles home and I don't get one single thumbs up! :thumbup: NOT ONE! :blink: I think the thousands of people we passed along the way were opposed to extending their opposable thumb appendages. So . . . it came to me, this thing is The Opposition. I thought you should know what I've named this bad boy! Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Great name Bob! Down here in the the south, i get lots of thumbs up for my b210, but my 620 is a different story. It seems to ignite rage in all the Ford truck owners around town. They seem to think they are the only ones who can drive an old pickup. I swear just drive down my street and before you know it primered ford f100's start peeling out and showing how tough they are! So i feel like "the opposition" in my truck! i cant wait to see what you do with the wagon, i also have always wanted one. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 People are usually (expletive)lame and as a general rule have no idea what something really "cool" looks like <_< . I effing LOVE this thing man! I would like to see their faces when you blow by them when its all done. Hahaha! Looking forward to see it grow and dominate...just like The Opposition should right? I love the name too. I wish I could think of something that cool for my truck. :blink: Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I like your stories! Thats lighter than the specs from the manufacturer, right? Quote Link to comment
JDM510 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 hope this turns out something like the 520 Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 maybe its because of the dent on the front... they would have given a thumbs up if it was more straight :) Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 name='Bob3' date='31 January 2010 - 05:38 PM' timestamp='1264988323' post='261226'] You might need some seat covers and a fresh bottle of Armor All there Bob. Nice looking start your your next beauty. Like everyone else.....can't wait. Quote Link to comment
