71DIMER Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 ITEM/CONDITION: Well it’s sad but the day has come that I need to further thin out my fleet of cars so reluctantly I’m selling my 1968 Datsun 510 Wagon. It’s been a great ride since the day I got it, always turning heads and getting compliments. This thing is all stock and all original (except for grills/wheels) and has all the charm a 43 year old car comes with. It starts up each and every time, idles smoothly, and shifts fine. About the only think I know it needs is to have the part of the transmission tunnel we had to cut to get the new 5 speed shifter in place welded back up. I think I have the piece we cut out to use as the template or just weld that part up. Oh and the headliner has began splitting just above the drivers side. Besides that it has the typical dings, chips, etc you’re bound to find on any car this age! Paint color is original but not the original paint. Not too bad, it does clean up and shines easy enough as shown in the pictures below. It is lowered on shortened struts with lowering springs and 2" lowering blocks on the rear. I’m sure you can see all my ‘build up’ pics on my thread but really what it boils down to is what it looks like now. Here’s a list of what it has and some pictures to show you what it looks like. CAR BASICS: - L16 (swapped in late last year) with stock dual SU carbs and air filter housing - 5 speed transmission (no grinds, and low RPM’s on the highway) - All turquoise interior was replaced to all black (seats and door panels) - Carpet kit in seat area and cargo area - Roof rack that runs nearly the full length of the roof - Misc. emblems I’ve purchased for it but haven’t put on it (like fender emblem). - Will come with stock 1968 Grille (If you want the Bluebird grille it'll be an extra $100) - It will come with stock steel wheels (If you want the Watanabe wheels pictures it'll be an extra $200) Some of the things that make the 1968 model rare: -Flat speedometer -Suicide wiper motion -CB style Antenna on drivers side -Rear cargo hatch free of license plate lights -License plate light on rear bumper -Original dealer license plate frame -Original California black plates -Rare dealership option locking gas cap with 2 keys -Unique 1 year only grille design -Arrowhead front fender marker lights PRICE: Well I tossed the idea around and figuring I just want to reduce the number of cars I’m paying registration/insurance that I don’t really use anymore, I’m going to ask what I think is a fair price. Hopefully you guys agree and are interested or know someone interested. $1600 obo LOCATION: Nor Cal Southbay Most recent pictures: Older pics: 2 Link to comment

qwik510 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 If it is not an april fools joke, consider it sold. Where can I send the cash today? The wheels and the grill are worth the asking price so Happy April fools Day! The fact that you waited to post until exactly midnight makes me think this is a planned April fools joke too.
