ViperGT Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Im looking at my neighbors 1970 datsun roadster. The interior is quite nice. It has a bolt in roll bar. Everything else is stock, paint is pretty good, original not faded but some sanding was done by the emblems. Everything is there and i got it to chug with a couple sprits of staring fluid. Not registered. He wants $2500. Are 1970's desirable? i know you guys cant judge with out pictures so i willl post them as soon as i can. Just sold my honda accord for 13.5k i really want a 510 so i was planning on flipping this mabey for 4 or 5? My mom also wants it so im not sure. Will have pics posted soon... Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Buy it. Don't flip it. For that price, it's a keeper. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Buy it. Don't flip it. For that price, it's a keeper. Listen to FlatCat. Also post pictures and tell us where you're located. East coast vs. West coast does matter. Quote Link to comment
ViperGT Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 There is still a bunch of junk on top, gotta help clean it all up this weekend, so the pictures aren't super good but you'll get an idea. And im on the west coast in Long Beach. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 That thing is a survivor. Cali car! Garaged! Dash pad! Everything about this points to awesome! (NOTE: See what pictures can do?) Is it a 2000 or 1600? Is there a title? Don't hesitate. Get that thing quickly! Quote Link to comment
ViperGT Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Buy it. Don't flip it. For that price, it's a keeper. Also there are roadsters on craigs list for cheap but there not in this condition... Running and registered for 1k but kinda junky on craigs list. The reason i want to flip it is because i dont want to ruin a car that has potential to be almost like new, whatever i get is going to end up almost unstreetable. Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Are you the guy ZFighter said was building a 500hp Dime? Wanted to put a Skyline rear in it? Just trying to get a picture in my mind. Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Get it, you won't regret it! As a 1970, that is the 5 main bearing metric 1600cc engine. A very good one, and can be built up as a 2 liter stroker if you have the time and inclination to do so. Very desirable as is, so don't be in a hurry to do anything drastic to it.

ViperGT Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Finally pulled it out.. couple dings oh well... sorry about blur new phone and forgot to take off the clear protective crap. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Is it yours yet? I was just thinking... Turn your dime into a mild build(500+hp is ridiculously illogical). That will save you some money to mildly build this thing too. Just but the thing already and do work! This could be one stellar little car. It's already in pristine shape for not being restored. 1 Quote Link to comment
