freetheoranges Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hi, long time. I am looking for a running Datsun 510 Wagon or Sedan 2DR or 4DR no worries. Straight body pref., dash with working gauges and a legit wiring harness. I want the L motor. I am in Sonoma County California, Looking for a California car. I work as an auto parts courier and I need a better ride. Please let me know what you have available, where, and $$. I have looked for a long time then had a reliable vehicle and not looked and now I'm looking again. I look forward to not being disappointed! Link to comment
uieluck Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Being from Denver.. I don't even understand this post? Hell, 95% 510's that are left are in CA or OR, WA. What's so hard about finding a 510! Geeesh, I could understand this post if you lived in North Dakota or something. But really, CA! Come on, I've made two trips out to CA to get cars. Go drive down the street, look to the left, look to the right,, oops there's one, now go buy it. 5 Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Heh, I am not as forward as that. I have seen one on my weekly job tucked in a shop and maybe another parked by the college but that's it. I thought I'd put it out there. Check my join date, give me some credit.. bruh! EDIT: What connections do you have out here in the bay area? A barn find in a barn waiting for someone to wash it off and drive it? Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks, koback, I use crazedlist in firefox under all of craigslist california because that is the territory I want to span. It seems as always I will need to wait my turn although I grabbed a wait in line ticket long ago and nothing came up.. Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I talked to Forrest the guy who has the site hectorschopshop and I found out he has owned so many 510's it makes my mind orgasm in thought about the endless possibilities he must have taken and sought out over his adventures with the Datsun 510. I love the body style so much, and adore the L motor. I have loved them for a long time. I heart the BRE scheme. Link to comment
koback68 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just make shur and have the cash on hand or in house and be ready to be first caller. If i did it again would spend the max i could .because all the goodies your going to want add up fast. the 5 speed the lsd-coilovers-camber plates you get the idea better the last guy spent the bux on the stuff that its hard to recupe Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 There are a lot of 510s out there some complete some not. We have 9 projects here but we usually have to make then run to sell them. Once one of our projects are a daily driver I can't hold on to it. Most of your search will boil down to $$$$$$, the more u spend the better of a car you get. You have not included a budget in your post, people with cars for 10k might not respond. My wife and I have 3 runners right now, 2 SSS Coupes and a 69 2 door. Here is a pic of the 69 2 door clean title and great runner with a L motor $4800. it will be ready to drive home n 2 weeks. been trying to get rid of this car for awhile, but without puttin gin the hours and materials nobody wanted it 1 Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Younger generations want a car that they hadn't heard about previously...since they Now know they "exist". Totally , except I've known they exist for some time. My previous vehicle a 64 Rambler American, I didn't know they existed, but love the body style. I actually bought my Rambler because I couldn't find a 510 and the body styles were similarly sexy. Link to comment
