Walperstyle Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Some of you that know me know my dad passed away in August of Lung Cancer. Well, I've been going through a lot of his pictures of his life. I felt these needed to be shared. Chilliwack Datsun, 1970's and you think truck conversions are new... that mini is a tow truck dually! Bands sell cars! Dad built this dune buggy (to the right) Race 510 3 Quote Link to comment
Walperstyle Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I dont know about today, but She's hot! (Import Model 70's) Sweet loaded 510 A 510 borrowed by dad often. Perks of the job. The showroom Pic of my dad 4 Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 thx for sharing, a true flash back in time, lovin all the vehicles...tom Quote Link to comment
Walperstyle Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 This is my beast. Not as cool as your guys old stuff. I wish I could find a good 510 in Canada. Most them are small piles of red dust. You can find more updates on KA-T.org in the next year. Aiming for 500hp...2 year build happening outside of the car. Quote Link to comment

dennis Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 great pictures. Check out the old KFC sign on the last pic of the Import Model. Tedman took some pics of a 510 meet at the Nissan HQ back in 84 or 85 and I was in the background of one of them when I was 14. Quote Link to comment

Walperstyle Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 lol thanks guys. Dad was not a huge datsun fan. But he did always tell me how on any twisty road he would destroy camaro's and cudas. He just hated how they all rusted out and ended up piles of dust. At least here in Canada, thats what they all did. Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thank You for the pictures.:rolleyes: :unsure: :cool: Quote Link to comment
johny5 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 WOW thanks for the pics , I was living in that town in the late 70s and remember that dealership , my mom took her 620 there for service and got the truck back with a cracked windshield , a few years later she bought her 81 king cab there too Quote Link to comment
deadflo Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Very Cool Pictures! I remember that early 70's era well, it's really a blast to see pics of Datsuns from that time. I can identify with those band members! I'm about that age. Looks like series 2 Z's, 72 or so? Wonder what the story was on that green Z with the steel wheels? Private car owned by a salesguy? I like the headlight covers! Also like seeing a parking lot, full of cars from that time frame. VW Beetles and a bus, a Barracuda, 62 Chev,and all the BRAND NEW Datsuns! Quote Link to comment
