bjjrev Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Would you bring this 510 back to life?? I found a 72 510 4 door sedan at the local pull a part... in south louisiana! In California there are tons of cars but down here its slim pickings! Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I would rock it 1 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Seems pretty picked over, though :( Quote Link to comment
dr.feltersnatch Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 depends on your budget. if your looking for a cheap driver no. if your looking to spend some bucks and build a car yes. 1 Quote Link to comment
bjjrev Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Im looking for a long term rebuild project. It's def is picked over... been there for a year. I also dont have any friends or family on the west coast. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 It will still run ,drive, stop without any interior at all.. Hoods are already pretty hashed so hood pin holes can't hurt them any.. After market oil/temp gauges and alot of deliveries from Rockauto for brake parts.. BOOM it's rollin down the road. The one problem i can see is the windshield is really cracked but if local police are lenient maybe. I still run a TomTom for my speedo ,, and my speedo reads correctly now. I would add it to my stash if it was me. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Well you're going to have to pay for the car, deal with a wrecking yard title, then pay for every single piece that's missing or damaged. This is by no means a deal if you're looking for a nice clean daily by the time you're done. Quote Link to comment
bjjrev Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I daily a subaru STi... this would be a lightweight toy! But I do like my cars clean. Looking for a 3.0 510... its just rare to find one at all down here. Id also rather the 2door sedan. So im guessing ill need to travel... the next project will either be a dime or an ae86 corolla.

bjjrev Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 That's what I was thinking. I grew up in junk yards and always wanted to take something that the world said was junk and save it. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Keep looking. Keep this in mind for body parts. Better that you grind up five like this to get one on the road. Quote Link to comment
bjjrev Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Anyone have a 3.0 510? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Haha Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 That windshield has a rising sun crack 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Better that you build one so you learn something about them. Quote Link to comment
bjjrev Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thanks for the advice guys! Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 windshield wiper holes look like 68' but dash says 70+ i would grab it for the scrap price or less Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 windshield wiper holes look like 68' but dash says 70+ The cowl on a 68 is tiny. That one stretches out to near the fenders... It's 70+ for sure. Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The cowl on a 68 is tiny. That one stretches out to near the fenders... It's 70+ for sure. Yep, Dash lay out and is left of gauges would suggest this too. My thought, snag it for a parts car. Find one that's better shape running, use/swap parts. It really depends on what the rockers and floor boards look like. If the shell is solid, turn into a 1/4 mile car. Quote Link to comment
The Taterhead Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 If it's at pull-a-part you can hang it up, they won't sell it anyway. I've tried to buy a 510 from them here in B'ham, it's against policy. I even tried to buy the car in pieces, still a no. If it's at a privately owned jy you might have a chance. That eyebrow trim looks perfect. & I could use the fenders. I'd say get it anyway. What's the worst that'll happen… Quote Link to comment
bjjrev Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 It is at a pull a part... :( im offshore now but when I get back I can check on it and see if they are still there and can get them for you. 1 Quote Link to comment
