GreenD21 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Barry Brown has asked me to help him list his custom built 1973 Datsun Cannonball 510 for sale. You may know Barry Brown from Nissan Sport Mag, he's the owner and builder of the Bonneville Datsun 620. Specs according to Barry: 360 Punched and Stroked to 390 Brock Yates Challenger 388HP plus 125 Nitrous 12 gallon fuel cell 3:56 gears Independent 180 Rear End 280Z Front and Rear Brake Swap Adjustable Struts Leather Seats from Brock Yates Challenger Rack and Pinion Steering Motor built by Cotton Owens More pics of restoration can be found here... http://riterrestorat.../challenge.html Barry is selling because he wants to fund his trip to Bonneville. He has some new and awesome parts on the 620 that he wants to put to the test. And the other reason...he's building a gasser. If you have any questions Barry will be happy to field them. Call 585-750-6333 for more info. I have seen this car in person and it is simply incredible! One of the most unique Datsun 510s you ever lay your eyes on but not just that, it has Brock Yates history written all over it. Wiki Cannonball Run for more info on Yates and his Challenger. Asking price has been dropped to $13,500. Thanks for looking! Link to comment

GreenD21 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 It has Brock Yates Cannonball Challenger engine inside of it. The car itself was never in the actual race or the movie. The engine is from the original race. Link to comment

GreenD21 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'd do pretty well with some kidneys to sell on the black market (depends how much beer has passed through them though), too bad I am not the owner of the car so you'll offer him your kidneys. Link to comment

AZhitman Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Which year Cannonball did it run in? It wasn't in the movie None of the cars from the event were in the movie, and vice-versa. Movies are fake. Races are real. ;) Oh, and bump for a great car. Can vouch for seller and his cars. Top-notch! Link to comment
KC Phirus Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's pretty, Does it function? this thing looks like it needs to get really really dirty. Link to comment
GreenD21 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Barry might have a pic of the burn out he did with it at the end of his shop's street, double black lines. I'll have to ask. PS: Thanks for the vouch Greg! Link to comment
KC Phirus Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Eh that's not hard to believe. That's just a really heavy front end. Seems a little form > function but it's awesome nonetheless! GLWS Link to comment
drew510 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't know why, but I am digging it. It is so wrong, but so right at the same time. Link to comment
AZhitman Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I don't know why, but I am digging it. It is so wrong, but so right at the same time. Me too! This thing just SCREAMS 70's coolness. Link to comment
