Raggleflaggle Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 A 1980 would be post facelift... This means square lights on a 2 door hatch? I thought that was an Aussie thing? I dunno, could be wrong... Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 1980 510s weren't sold in Australia. The A10 model series was sold there, but it was badged as a Stanza. Same model but different variations. Differences included bumpers, brakes, badges and more. Quote Link to comment
Raggleflaggle Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I mean, yeah, I'm talking more along the lines of body styles. Like the 2 door sedan? Was that ever over here? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Yes, all body styles were sold in USA except the Van (commercial wagon). Coupes were sold here 1978-1979. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Its not a 510 Coupe if it doesn't have a hatch. Might be the 510 2-door Sedan. 1 Quote Link to comment

mhub91 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it. Dead serious. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it. Dead serious. Donovan showed it to me the other day ,, he has it on Craigslist . It's a brown 2door http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/4517826642.html Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 looks alright.. definitely has potential. realistically, though, I say 700-900 ish tops. good luck with sale though! 1 Quote Link to comment

Sell it for what you paid as you obviously aren't a Datsun owner. Add a $50 seller's fee for your trouble. A real Datsun owner would fix and rock it and never let it go. 1 Quote Link to comment

mhub91 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 If I had the cash I would seriously think about picking this up! You don't really see too many 2 doors around..... Shoot, you don't really see many A10s around really. 1 Quote Link to comment
dr.feltersnatch Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 $2000 for a non runner is pretty steep. In all honesty its a $300 car at best Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 ya i posted it high never know what people will pay ..... it does run but badly pretty sure theres a bad rod If they pay a lot you'll have a very unhappy buyer. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 But honestly MHub probably offered the guy a half drank Pepsi throwback, pack of matches and a banana peel. 2 Quote Link to comment
