omega Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Obviously I'm new to ratsun, but I've been in love with the 510 ever since I became obsessed with cars (Around 16-17). My past cars have been 2006 Evo IX and 2010 E92 M3. My current car is a 2013 Evo X and a 1993 Civic Si that I daily. To be honest, now is the perfect time for me to get a 510. I want to buy one that's a fix er upper and do all the work myself. The problem is it seems to be hard to find a 510 that's priced accordingly. The only one I found was on ebay and was wondering if you guys can give me your opinion on it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Solid-1973-Datsun-510-4-door-w-L20b-engine-on-the-East-Coast-/121140954220?forcev4exp=true#ht_500wt_1182 Just wondering if you guys can also point me in the direction of websites/forums where I can find a 510 (4 door preferably) for sale. Thanks Ratsun! Quote Link to comment

SupDoc Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I would say $4,000 might be reasonable in this current market. Quote Link to comment

omega Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 http://medford.craigslist.org/cto/3905718785.html Here is one I found in Oregon. Needs some work though. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I wouldn't pay over $4500 for it.... Keep waiting. There have been some better ones on eBay in the recent past for around $6000. Decide if you want a 2dr, 4dr, or wagon, and concentrate on that. If you don't already know, the wagon has different suspension. Datsunrider71 had thoughts of selling his: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/56345-need-guidance/ I'm not sure why I can't Personal Message you, but you may try to P.M. justplainjoe. He's in the Kansas City area and thinking about selling out. See what he has. http://community.ratsun.net/user/11893-justplainjoe/ Quote Link to comment
omega Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 How do you PM? I don't see a messaging icon for anyone? Maybe because i'm new? And I for sure want a 2dr or 4dr. Doesn't matter which. I don't want a wagon though. Quote Link to comment
