Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ok after a month long search & with the help of a good friend I have purchased a 72 510 wagon. The car is 7 hours north of me so my good friend went to check it out for me & took pics/test drove it & wow it's in good shape! Original paint,never been lowered, nice interior, all electrical works, runs good & doesnt get hot. Got a sweet deal on it too that couldnt be passed up. Ill be flying up next week to pick it up & drive it home which is a 7-8 hour drive. On a kinda sad note i had to sell my 320 to pay for the wagon but it'll be worth it, i know the 320 WILL be in good hands. Ok a few pics & a video or 2 guys, enjoy.... Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 A factory lime...Looks great. Keep us updated on it's new life. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 RAD PAC! Sad for the 320, but TOTALLY PSYCHED to see you get a beautiful blank canvas like this! And hell, you've had trucks for a while, nice to change it up once and a while. LOVE that color! Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hey Mark, welcome to the goon squad:cool: Nice wagon. Stock or ratsun style? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well seeing as it's in good shape makes me not want to modify this car that much. I like the original look alot. The car even has the stock hub caps but i may still pick up a set of 13 inch rims i have a lead on. Id really like to get a roof rack at some point,did Datsun make a factory one?

datrod Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I've seen a few at the swapmeet in eaglerock. I'll keep my eyes open. I don't think they were factory. Might have been dealer installed. Not really sure. I like the look of the rack. I took mine off when I painted it but I didn't like the look without it. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Very nice find. Too bad you had to sell the 320, but i like the dime better anyways. By the looks of the battery holdown in the pics, you might want to take a fresh bungee cord with you for the drive:lol:. Fix it correctly when you get home though, unless you want to do that in there driveway. For the wheels you mentioned. I would consider going to atleast a 14" wheel. Just seems that some of the 13" tires sizes and quality tires are fading away. Jason Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Dude that thing is clean!!!! Nice find! I kept moving a stock wagoon roof rack around for years but ended up tossing it :( If only I knew someone would want it someday.... I say slam it on the stock rims! The only problem is that solid axle... I'm excited to see you fix her up :D Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Dammitt Jeff i coulda used that rack..HaHa. Anybody notice it's an auto? Id like to eventually swap in a Z 5 speed. Same principle as the truck trans. swaps....if it's a long tail get a long tail etc..? Anything off the wall i should know & what parts woudl be needed? BTW i ahve a grinder & a welder, i can modify anything :D Quote Link to comment
Datsun4u Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Great find! Keep that color, I love it. :( Sorry to hear about the 320. Soooo who bought the 320? Is he or she going to be seen here on Ratsun? Sorry Pac, but you are going to tell us the whole story one way or another. Quote Link to comment

pl521sss Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hahaha you bastard:fu: Did you pick the 68 510 also? :D Well, it looks like a 68 510 just in front of that wagon. Is he selling that too? Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Nice dime.Reminds me of mine when I got it,unmolested and stock.It is nice to drive a car rather than a mini truck for a change.The mini trucks were killing my back.The auto on the floor is cool for converting to manual.Mine is a column shift and has a different shroud.I dont mind the auto.It just needs a bunch more power to make it fun.Thats why I got a z24 to play with.
