FS/FT: 70 510 2 Door $7500 OBO

[lucaskers]

Hi All,

 

I've decided to sell my 1970 2 door. It reads 51,000 miles, but is probably 151,000. I'm located in Mountain View, CA. It has been a great car to me and my daily for over a year, but it's time to move on. I want to get an off-smog z so I'm looking for cash or a trade. If the z is really nice I can put cash on top.

 

Here's the run down.

 

The engine is a LZ23 built by Troy Ermish mated to a dogleg 5 speed that shifts great. The engine has less than 2,000 miles on it! When he did the engine he also completely rebuilt the head. It has new guides, 1mm overside intake valves, new exhaust valves, and an isky stage 3 cam with upgraded springs and retainers. The carbs are dual 44 mikunis also from Troy. Intake is matched to the head. I have a receipt for all the work. I replaced the flywheel with a DP racing lightweight aluminum and replaced the clutch at the same. A bunch of other stuff under the hood is brand new too: water pump, oil pump, starter, plugs, wires, MSDblaster 2 coil, 'blackbox' distributor, DP racing steering box brace, and some other stuff I am sure I am forgetting. The radiator is a VW with dual electric fans.

 

It has 280zx struts and brakes in the front and tokiko blues and (I think) 200sx discs in the rear. E-brake is relocated on the floor between the seats. I installed a b210 brake booster when I bought it. It has aftermarket springs though I am not sure the spring weight.Sway bars front and back though I'm not sure of the size. It also has a slotted rear crossmember. It's sitting on Rota RBs that i think are 13x7 though they might be 13x8. Sumitomo 215/50/13 tires which still have a ton of life left.

 

The body is all rust free. The previous owner had it stripped down to bare metal and fixed everything a few years before I bought it. The car has bubble flares, shaved side markers, shaved vents, a shaved rear, and BMW ellipsoid headlights with HIDs. The light color is white, no blue. The paint is in good shape with some really small chips here and there.

 

The interior was done around the same time as the body and is fantastic. The only issue is the left bolster on the drivers seat has a small chunk torn out and is worn a little soft. The seats are out of a 90s integra I think. It has new weatherstripping on the front and back windows, the doors, and the trunk. New window felt and squeegees. Sound deadening on the floor and doors. Battery is relocated in the rear. The tach, oil pressure, temp, and voltage gauges are all aftermarket. Momo steering wheel that is pretty worn out. Comes with 4 point harnesses. Wink mirror. The car also has an aftermarket painless wiring harness.

 

Now for the bad. Like a lot of 510s the drivers side door sags a bit. I have new replacement bushings I just haven't put them in. The heater was removed when I bought it and I have never been bothered enough to install one myself (this is California). The front left strut is going out. Not so bad, but enough for me to notice. The car has a small dent on the right rear. The gas gauge stopped working a few months ago. Probably a simple fix, but it never bothered me so I haven't looked into it. Finally, the headlights don't always fire the first time. The ballasts and bulbs have lifetime warranties, but it is such a minuscule thing I wouldn't even bother. Like any car this old it has it's quirks, but I listed them all here so you know.

 

I have an extra set of 15x7 0 offset Panasports and a Datsport fully adjustable rear crossmember that will go with the car if the price is right or I'll sell them separately.

 

I think I covered just about everything, but feel free to ask questions. I'm asking $7,500 OBO. Feel free to send offers, but I'm not in a big hurry to sell. I check my email all the time, lucaskers@gmail.com, or feel free to call or text, 650-796-4354. Please don't waste my time if you're not a serious buyer. No test drives unless you have money to purchase the car right then and there. I am serious about this. I only have this one picture right now, but will get some more this weekend. This is an old picture. The car now has wiper blades and ellipsoid headlights.

 

This is a great car that runs superb. I get a lot of looks and compliments. This car has been my daily for over a year and has treated me great.

 

Thanks for looking,

Lucas

Well it has been raining all weekend, but I still washed her and snapped some pictures. People were looking at me funny at the car wash!

 

 

Tear in driver side bolster that I mentioned

 

Back seat. (crappy photo I know)

 

 

Engine compartment. I just swapped the distributor for a black box so the wiring is a little messy.
