Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Cool. Are you on Instagram? Robbie Duarte had a blue bog block powered 510 in the '80s that ran 8 second quarter mile. The nose was stretched and he had a couple different motors he ran. The 468 had mechanical fuel injection sticking out of the hood. Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I would say that is a dragster with a 510 body wrapped around it. I DO think it's very cool!! Looking forward to a video when you start running it.. Quote Link to comment

ByStickel Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 I just searched his name and variations on drag racing, Datsun. etc. There was also an obituary for a Robert Duarte, but I couldn't be sure it's the same person. If so, it might be interesting to reach out to his kin to see if they had any images that could be added to the web's Datsun digital history. I must have had something boring that I should have been doing... 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 His family was from the same are where I grew up in Walnut Creek, CA. I remember they had ties with a local hot rod shop in Concord, CA. His dad also had a twin turbo SBC powered Morris Minor. 1 Quote Link to comment
