EddieDropkick Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 At the moment I've been search for about a month on Craigslist for a good "daily driver" wagon or coupe. The 510 is my dream car and I want to buy one now while I still got the opertunity to do so. At the moment I live in Long Beach, CA and I am willing to drive there to check it out and pay in cash for it. I dont mind the paint just hopefully the interior had some love from it's past owners.

qwik510 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Welcome. Good luck with the search. The PL510 was made from 68-73. Then no 510s were made until Datsun reintroduced the HL510 in 1978. 1 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 At the moment I've been search for about a month on Craigslist for a good "daily driver" wagon or coupe. FYI, the coupe was only available in RHD and not sold in the US, so they are quite rare and expensive to buy here in the US. A 2dr or 4dr sedan would be much more reasonably priced. :thumbup: 1 Link to comment
EddieDropkick Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Oh much obliged. So the 2 dr or 4dr sedan would be more reasonably priced thanks for the rad info. Link to comment
racerx Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 you have to seacrh longer than that, it took me about 6 mos. to find a decent one. Be patient...the closer you are to your ideal car the better. Also you don't want a 78 Datsun 510, in Cali., they have to be smogged...that is 75 and below don't have to be smogged. don't just go on Craigslist, try UFO site, dime quaterly, 510 realm, go to import shows, try Craigslist everywhere, Ebay, this site...spread your net wide and be patient. 1 Link to comment
