510er Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Okay so i was at the J/y and found an F-10 I have never seen one before so naturally i was curious 4-speed stereo and other goodies, the pic doesnt do it justice there is actually alot of great parts there. most of the A-14 motor is in it. hmm whats in the glove box. oh yea original sales document. And guess what! the guy traded in his 74 210 for an f10! A whopping 4600 bucks!!!! NEW!!! 1700 bucks for trade in on the 210 thats pretty good haha 12% interest in 1978 OUCH! Warrenty information Aww look someone got their first car, little kim got to take the driving test in the F10 on 8-3-84 (before i was born) DAMN YOU LITTLE KIM! not even three months and you wreck it!! 11/27/84 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: and this is probably why its sitting where it is today Well i guess it wasnt her fault! In 1984 the poor F10 car one in the picture got hit by the car on the right in the picture(running red light) and pushed into the car on the left in the picture :mad: If anyone wants this paper work PM me your address and ill send it to ya! might be cool to have if you have a f10 or a 210 or just collect weird datsun stuff :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment

510er Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I think he would have gotten more than 1600 bucks trade in if it was from the future! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 How kool is that!!!!!! All that documentation in the glove box...ill be checkin ALL glove boxes next time im @ a yard ;) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Great story! Thanks. * I think he got ripped off at $4700 ... the 1972 Datsun of same size was under $2000 when brand new * That was back when the industry was telling everybody that FWD was better than RWD. Most people it seems believed it. * The trade-in was a B210 (1974-1978). "210" was 1979-1982 models Quote Link to comment
mike Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 What yard is that and are there any more dattos? Quote Link to comment
510er Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Mike it was in my secret yard... Its the only datto that your allowed to pull parts off of, there is a tiny section of the yard roped off that your allowed to pull parts off of, but im sure there are more dattos out there, im slowly but surly befriending the owner and im sure he will let me wander around the rest of the yard soon. There is a 83 nissan 720 with 5 speed and such, an 82 280zx with no 5 speed or struts... HAHA... secret yard is code for todds wrecking on hayford road right next to the casino Quote Link to comment

mike Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yeah, I was wondering if that was it. Did you get the struts and 5 speed off of that burgandy 280 ? If so did it still have the almost cool mesh wheels on the back? They did have a white standard cab 620 that had a decent headliner and an almost usable bumper overrider. I was going to pull the 620 stuff but the guy wanted like 30 bucks for the headliner. He just started pulling numbers out of the air. I asked him if he realized it was a datsun and left, I havent been back. Did you end up finding the right water outlet? There was an old grumpy guy in there with a beard and jokes so bad they were funny who said he had a couple pickups hed part with but I lost his contact info...I still have the best luck at pull and save and craigslist. Its kind of funny with craigslist, the advertised part that I go to look at is damn near always FUBAR but I end up getting other stuff that I need/want. I bought an L20 for a rebuilder and the guy tossed in a couple webers, a shitload of hitachis, intakes, blah blah blah and a PERFECT tailgate to replace the one that I beat semi straight with a sledge hammer. My bed was damn near full on the way home. Last time I went to pull and save I was looking for the Sat. alternator crap and found a KC with a crack free dash, good headliner and the interior surround panels in the back that were friggin perfect... I forgot all about the alternator stuff till I was halfway home, Im not complaining though:lol: Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 How kool is that!!!!!! All that documentation in the glove box...ill be checkin ALL glove boxes next time im @ a yard ;) x2 Looking through was fun I imagine finding it would have made my week lol. Glove boxes from now on..... Quote Link to comment
510er Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Mike, the 280zx is black and by the time i got to it the 5 speed was gone, didnt see any wheels but i did get the front struts. They crushed like 200 cars about 2 months ago and are putting there inventory back together. The guy that owns it is a younger guy named todd there is also and old guy thats there all the time he is cool as hell. He let me take a air cut off wheel powered by c02 out in the yard and cut some parts some things! They do have a white Yugo that i really want!!!! Yugo for LIFE! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I always look in the gloveboxes of cars, I find lots of tools:D:fu: ALWAYS check the glove boxes. It's where flaky owners put new parts, meaning to put them on 'some day'. I got brand new U-joint in box for truck and a set of new NGK plugs for L20B. All went into my pockets.:) Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 That wasn's a girl named Kim. It was a guy named Franklin. Notice the middle name Edward? Kim was the LAST name. Too bad that car went to the scrapyard, as it has a lot less rust than most F10s and the F10 wagon was fairly rare in the US. Looks like it got pretty trashed though even before it ended up in the yard. I was going to say it's been a long time since I saw an F10 on the road, but I saw one about a month ago out on Spanaway Loop. First one I'd seen in motion in 4 or 5 years. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 ALWAYS check the glove boxes. :thumbup: found a pair of craftsman dykes last weekend :cool: found the keys in a 210 glove box and it fit the door/trunk locks = $5.00 for all 3 w/2 keys! anybody into 60's corvairs??? i grabbed 5 boxes of NOS body parts from under the hood, uhh... trunk. :D Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Corvair? Grab the steel wheels. They fit Datsun but are much wider the Datsun 13" wheels. Quote Link to comment

jnec510 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 is it stll there?????? i need some parts. ie hood an upper grill piece. Quote Link to comment
LenRobertson Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Great post! I've only been to that yard once; last summer, I think. I asked about prices on an L head and a couple of other things, and the answers were pretty vague. The day I was there, there were about three BIG junkyard dogs laying in the front office that followed me out into the yard. I asked the guy, are they trained to get me if I cross "The Rope"? He said "Yup". I'm sure he was joking (but I stayed on the approved side of the rope anyway). I'm going to have to get up there and check out the F10. I need to confess (again) that I have a '77 F10 hatch that I diverted from being hauled to the crusher. I'm still working on getting a title, and I don't want to do a lot of work until I get one. But just this morning I got a good, solid contact for the lady who is the last owner. Whether she will sign it over remains to be seen. She is working out of the US, so I will have to mail a lost title/release form to her. Wish me luck. Len Quote Link to comment
