Tigerbomb Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 So, right now I am hunting for a 510. I'm at my starting stage. Like everybody here once was. Except mabie The510Keeper. I'm convinced that guy was birthed from the trunk of a 69' bluebird, but that is a whole different matter. This thread i think might be a fun one. Because i can't post a project or what did i do to my dime today, i want to take you guys on a ride of what i've seen while looking at 510s and all that good stuff. So each morning, i start with this. I got tired of searching each Craigslist county in california/oregon manually so now, when i open my browser in the morning, i have a option to open 22 tabs with it pointing to 'Datsun 510' in the auto search. I've found some good dimes, but the better ones, or even decent ones are in LA which is $6-$7000 for a rust bucket. Pure sadness. Left a note on a 510 locally letting the guy know i'm interested in buying if he is selling. No word yet. Hopefully i get a call back. Thats all i got for now. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Good luck on your hunt, I'm glad I got the ones I got way back. I just got this one up and running today. It felt good to drive one again. Most of mine have been setting up for one reason or another. 2 Quote Link to comment

Colbino Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Are you only searching through CL ads? I'm sure all of us here can help you with your search, as we too search for 510's daily - regardless if we plan to buy or not. I take it you've already reached out to thekeeper for one? He was selling and sold a dime this last weekend. What's your price range? Best, C 1 Quote Link to comment
