fisch Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 $32,000 for a granny-spec dime. Yes it is the one that sold on Ebay for 18k little while back. Wow. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-510-4/ So this makes two 510s I know of that have gone over 30K this year. (Other was modded and hit closer to 45K i think.) 1 Quote Link to comment

drew510 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I bet that eBay seller is kicking himself right about now, lol. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 True, but I bet he was happy to get the 15k on ebay or whatever it was... before he saw this. Reading the comments on BAT (Which are pretty damn interesting. Loads of euro car guys are not too happy, lol!! "That much, for a f'n Datsun when you could but X,Y,Z!!!") the guy who just sold it again is a 510 guy and has a modded dime. Says he bought this without clearing it with the wife on ebay... and well she wasn't too happy, so it had to go. Bet she is happy now, and probably won't get as upset next time he drags a Datsun home, lol! 1 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Kinda plain really. Slam that SOB and put a LS in it. FIXED Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 A Datsun will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no Datto. It's nice and all but I would rather have it, more than what it brings. 3 Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Great news - IF you're selling,but bad if you're buying. The sad part is that a lot of hard core 510 people will go for the money. I liked it when they were affordable - people bought them because they liked them. 2 Quote Link to comment
GoGoGo Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 It's still sitting in my garage for another couple of nights. I'll always have at least one 510 and out of the two this is the one that I had no emotional attachment to. The new owner will be very happy... Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Indeed, maybe by the time I finish my 73, it might actually help pay my daughters way through school. Which would be fine, so long as I have another beater 510 to drive around after it is gone. Quote Link to comment

505plus5 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Yup, Dat^ Hardcore money. Nothing else. But HEY- they're making news!!! Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 there is an ass for every seat and sometimes more money than we expect the 510 is getting more valuable every day and when a clean one unmolested like this hits the sales page sometimes it is just great timing and sometimes it is the guy who says I have been searching for years and well I had the money and wanted it Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Dang it...trying to find a decent dime today for a decent price is like trying to find an affordable housing in silicon valley. 1 Quote Link to comment
