So Cal Noob Here

[1TRIK10]

Hi guys,

 

New member here, currently without a 510.  Back in 1984, I had a 72 510 2 door that by the standards of the 1980's, was pretty tricked out, hence my screen name and personalized license plate.  In late 85, I gave the car to my then girlfriend who in turn sold it for $1500, and it was never seen again (I dumped her about a year later). Long story short, as a California car I'm wondering if it survived and is still on the road somewhere today.  The color was true baby blue (remember this was the 80's) and other than a Weber carb, Hooker header and Thrush muffler, it had a stock motor but was lowered and had shaved door handles/locks, side marker lights, license plate lights and fuel filler door.  The hood was louvered and the wheels were Carroll Shelby Talladega's.  Seeing how 510's are now a valued commodity, I would love to locate it and buy it back, or start all over with a new one.  I'll try to post up some pictures in the next day or so.

It would be cool if you can find it. Good luck! And welcome to ratsun. Let's see those pictures! !

Here's a few pics.  I know I have more somewhere but need to find them.  The first two were before the custom body work and paint and the third was a picture of my brand new 1985 ATC 250R with my 510 in the background in October of 1984.  I still have the 250R.
