studioceja Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've been keeping an eye out for a decent shape 610 coupe in Southern California. Every once in a while you see one come up but most of the time they are in bad shape. Here is in example. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/5183994863.html Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 That thing looks really straight. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 uh yeah looks to be a great place to start and bonus even a '73 seems like you want an original, turnkey 610 coupe like your 710 4dr? not gonna happen... Quote Link to comment

I spoke with the guy, Sent me additional photos and tells me that he has all parts/trim and interior but its taken apart at the moment. The price seems right but check out the rust around the windshield, looks like holes throughout. http://s189.photobucket.com/user/Studioceja1/embed/slideshow/1973%20Datsun%20610" Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 That is a decent shape L18 610. If you're looking for perfect move on. If looking for $1,500 perfect forget about it. Quote Link to comment
studioceja Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks. I'm going to try and get out to see it over the weekend. Quote Link to comment
kelowg Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thats a smokin deal,even with a little rust. A 510 in same shape would b what 4k maybe more. Auto trans sucks,but if it was near me, it would b for the wife to drive. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Auto are a better buy because it's impossible to drive the shit out of the car with one. Well, not impossible, but try it and you soon get tired of it and just drive it. Automatics..... the answer to preventing/avoiding 6K clutch dumps and drifter wannabees. Aside from the body, this car will be in better shape than a 4 speed car. The original buyer wasn't interested is having fun with this car and subsequent buyers probably saw it as cheap transportation, certainly not as a fun car. It's an empty canvas for you to paint on.... Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Some pretty good body cancer in those additional pics. Price is okay considering that. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'd jump on that. Quote Link to comment
WTFaNG Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Meh. Rust hole above the windshields means glass gotta come out. Which means you'll need a replacement. Took me three months and $$$ for the front windshield. Maybe the 4dr front windshield might work if you have it cut down. But in not 100% sure on that. Since I probably picked up the only windshield in America. I'd pick that up only to sit on it and wait for another 610 to popup Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Sedan/wagon windshield are same. Coupe is different. Removing glass doesn't mean replacing it, as long as you're careful. Quote Link to comment

Might be might not be, either way it's in the metal channel and repairable. Does not require a new windshield for this. Micro the 610s are glued in aren't they? like the 710s? My 710 had several holes but only the top pass side actually leaked. Welded up, painted and the glass glued in... like new. The chrome trim used Camaro clips to hold them. Quote Link to comment

WTFaNG Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 All the more power to you if you can cut those glass out without cracking them Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ive done it all you need is a friend a razor blade and a guitar string Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Probably would be easy with some toaster wire, speaker cable, and a car battery :P Quote Link to comment
