saving a 510 from scrapers whats it worth?


Recommended Posts

So hears the deal Im a finder I found a two door 510 that if i don't buy and take home it'll be scrapped the car is not a rust pile and complete .

 Now I'm not looking to make a lot off money off the deal i'd like to see it go to a good home.

 I like the 510 but I'm a big guy and I just don't fit . btw I know where theirs a old junkyard with a few more datsuns to buy.

It's worth scrap price plus a little extra for their (and your) bother to haul it out in the open and trailer them home. Pay yourself $20 an hour for your time on top of gas and anything needed to be rented. Now you have a minimum amount to start with.

 

Seldom are they complete. There is always something missing, little hard to find or high wear items. Take pictures of the engine bay from several angles and lots of the interior and the dash... we all know what the outside looks like and assume it's reasonable but show all the glass and a front and rear shot. What years are they? Your rough location so travel to, and hauling home, can be considered by a buyer.

I almost considered getting rid of the red wagoon in the back a locksmith fella I knew sold me for a $100 cause he had it sitting around. After thinking about it in the last couple of years I figured I will let it set there and hold on to it.

It is very rough bet it's all there.
