^^^ It's a wrecking yard, like all wrecking yards, they don't like to sell whole cars that are are already being parted, as the titles are turned in to the DMV. If you asked, they would probably throw out a ridiculous number or say not for sale whole.

On that 521, can you ask how much for the marker lights? Does it have a decent glove box? Parcel tray?

 

Glove box was shite and there is no parcel tray. 

 

 

 

As of yesterday there is no hood or bumperette brackets. 

 

 

Edit: Actually I have the parcel tray. Its an MDF one in mostly nice condition. I think there is a tear in one of the corners...

Thanks to both you & Taadj for grabbing those bumperettes/brackets for me!

I found this 521 & another truck (possibly a 520 ) at a semi- closed former wrecking yard the other day. I was in a hurry,& only stopped because I saw the gate open & people there,which only happens occasionally. They also have most of a b210 coupe & an old Datsun forklift ( I've had my eye on the forklift for awhile now ). I'll try to get prices & some more pics asap. http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/zz241/lorenolver/2013-08-29170650.jpg 2013-08-29170650.jpg

Pick Your Part in San Bernardino. Some Zs as usual, a 710 and a 310. And might I add it was 100 degrees out there. Like Satan came out of hell and decided to call SB his new home. Damn! HOT!

 

'81 Z (There were couple others but I didn't get photos.)

I guess this guy wanted a bed cap really bad. Looked like it was made out of papier mache and duct tape.

Went out to the Pick Your Part in Wilmington on Blinn Ave. cause their site boasted an '81 210 but it wasn't there. Checked out their Help Yourself lot across the street just in case and nothing there either. Both yards had a Z and the Wilmington one also had a '74 pickup but there was nothing under the hood or in the cab. No rims no nothing and body was beat up. Today was a bust.

Got out to the Rancho Cordova PNP today. They had listed a pre-74 pickup and the pic on row52 showed a hacked up 521...but what the hell.

 

Saw a rough 280zx in the parking lot.

Also this cool Toyota.

Also had this 62' Ford F100 for sale. Looked pretty decent.

This 521was cut to hell, passenger side fender was decent, drivers had a dent but was usable everything else was hacked up. Dash was probably salvageable.  Looks like it was a partial swap in progress, judging from the motor mounts something big and American. Had the Datsun1600 badges in good shape though so I grabbed them.

Went to the premier yard too, they had a 280 and 260z both pretty stripped.

Went back to that former wrecking yard in Aurora this afternoon. I got a few pics & contact info if amybody.wants anything.

2013-09-09163046.jpg this silver 521 is a.'70. Interior looked ok&it had a.Datsun/Hitachi am radio/ 8 track player inside( cool nostalgia factor,not that I have any 8 track tapes,but cool anyway) a black 620 grille on the floor inside. My battery ran out after this pic,so no more of this one for now.

 

I didn't get the year of this 521,but i'll be going back for the bumperettes,& maybe a few other parts off of it. 2013-09-09161801.jpg 2013-09-09161710.jpg 2013-09-09161556.jpg

Somebody wanted pics of this,i can't remember who right now. 2013-09-09161344-1.jpg 2013-09-09161344.jpg

Here's a pic of that Datsun forklift I mentioned. I don't know what I would do.with this,but I want to own it. 2013-09-09161248.jpg Rocket Dog I think the light buckets you mentioned are on these trucks.
