[610racecar]

For sale: Datsun 610 Vintage Race Car and Rat Rod. I picked up this car barely running last year and have spent the last year prepping it for my vintage race car club (VSCDA). But now that they have upped the newest year of eligilbility to 1989, I need to find a good new home for my 610 before I change classes to a newer car (maybe a 300ZX?). This car is a 1973, but was updated to a 1975 per SCCA Improved Touring rules to go with a L20B and a 5 speed transmission by the previous owner back in the 1980s. It was campaigned as an SCCA ITB car in Florida from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s, and then stored as is- kind of a racing time capsule. I purchased it a year ago with the intent of going the "Rat Rod" route, ie, updating the mechanicals, but leaving it's racing patina (racing dents and scratches) intact. The car has one shakedown race weekend on it, with the only significant problem being a old clogged radiator that would run hot (210) towards the end of some of the hotter sessions. That has been resolved with a new radiator. It has a VSCDA 2011 annual tech, and all the safety gear is up to date.

Some details:

Usual race car disclaimers. Car is sold as is, no warranty. Racing is dangerous.

So $3800 for the rat rod racecar and basic spares, or $4800 with the optional spares package . I will try to post a youtube video walk around to compliment the pics. Feel free to call (317)446-7404 cell 6-9 EST or email hh19532h@aol.com if interested

Okay, I have had a number of trade inquiries- the trades I would consider would be the following: 1989 or earlier of the following Datsun 260/280/300, Mazda RX7, Honda CRX, or Toyota MR2 SCCA Improved Touring ITA cars

Thanks,
