witchespellmichelle Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Called Aberdeen Auto Wreckers...SUPER nice guy! Said he just got rid of that 210, but told me to call Sideline in Aberdeen. So I called Sideline...no 210's. He said that Dave at Aberdeen Auto Wreckers is really into the old Datsuns. Sidline said he had a couple of 210's 2-3 yrs ago...just ended up squashin' them, due to rust. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
witchespellmichelle Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) called on one of the 2 trunk-lids from car-parts.com ... the grade A one in Glendale, CA ... said it was SUPER old stock. had to check it out and call me bk ... no luck. Called on the other trunk lid...wasn't able to get through on the line (thinking it's no longer a seller/business). Edited March 15, 2021 by witchespellmichelle 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) yeah, I was going to mention getting owner to part with Datsun hoard might be challenge but didn’t want you to be discouraged so I didn’t add that in... I also thought maybe a female voice could get better results.. haha This 210 was very nice with front end damage not rusty like everything out at coast usually is.. If I had to guess ,, that damn truck lid is still there somewhere.. lol Send message to @dat521gatherer he's not on here much anymore but he might know if there’s a cheap one anywhere near Tacoma .. there was a 210 on a pile at I-Kan scrap out in Satsop but not sure how to contact them this one Edited March 15, 2021 by bananahamuck 1 Quote Link to comment

Aww, well that stinks 😐 I was able to get a NOS fender through that site a couple years ago. Amazing! If I were closer to Ontario (I’m 60 miles away) I’d go check out that car. I’ll post in the wrecking yard thread and see if anyone out there can check it for you. I know there’s a dude that generally hits a lot of the yards gathering parts cause he makes extra money. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also I haven’t seen it myself, but I could get my hands on it at some point. Gonna try this again 2 Quote Link to comment

Cleopatra Jones Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Ranman72 says he has one from an '81. I told him he should hit you up. Maybe you should DM him and see if he'll ship it to you. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 If that falls through, I'll get my hands on the one down here. Actually I totally forgot, there was one in the wrecking yard local to me. Just now thought about it. 😐 So lets say, there are at least 2 down here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

dat521gatherer Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Car-parts.com would have been my go to. Blueballz or what ever his name was sold his 210 and now it's wrecked in the front end for sale on fb marketplace on lewis/mcchord. I think it was $1500 but it had a ka swap in it.

dat521gatherer Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 My trunk lid is doing the same thing just not as bad yet. Quote Link to comment

dat521gatherer Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Long shot but this guy has parts.https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/pts/d/el-monte-datsun-210-sl/7301836981.html Quote Link to comment
witchespellmichelle Posted April 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I messaged: red, white, and blueballs (kid in the army with the wrecked 210 front damage with motor swap). Thought everything was good to go. Then the morning I was supposed to drive out to the base, he never replied. Come to find out it sold. I'm not upset that it sold at all. I'm more disappointed that people don't have the common courtesy to say hey; I think I sold the whole thing. It's okay 👌 "Jar Jar from Fontana, California" I'm kinda thankful that people at least try to sell their stuff for parts rather than squishing them. That White hatch looks like it has good clean, cheap parts! 1 Quote Link to comment
