dustovich Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hello, Im new here, thinking of buying an old Datsun. I found this one somewhere in my neighborhood that's been sitting around for a while, maybe ill be able to convince the owner to sell it, who knows. It looks to be in good shape. I'm guessing that this is a 710, but I don't know for sure. Hoping to find some more trained eyes to have a look and see. Heres the pics: Thanks Dustovich 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 710 sedan. Not familiar with that differential at all. Nice grill, smiley , amber rear turn lights and great slotted mags! Fill out your profile so we know where this is. Europe? Mediterranean? Quote Link to comment
ddrum Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 They look similar to Mexican plates for some reason, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 :lol: wadda I no. Looks warm. Probably J series engine ? Quote Link to comment
dustovich Posted July 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 You are right. I am in Mexico. From what I have been reading the 510's have different differentials also down here, and prob a OHV engine, but we will see. Funny thing the car looks to have been sitting around for a while, the drivers door is unlocked and the key is in the ignition. I do like the grill myself. Gotta wait till my visa is finished and then go ask the guy if he wants to sell it. Hopefully soon. Whoever owns it seems to be in the process of restoring it, as it has brand new leather seats, looked like with plastic still on em also. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Either a 140j or 160j .... I wonder what axle that is? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 It's a Salisbury type like the C200. Must be small or they would have used the H165 like all the other 710s. The B210 had an H-145/150 Quote Link to comment

dustovich Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Back in Canada I can't remember ever seeing a 1960/1970's Datsun car, my Audi in comparison is way more common and those are rare as is, never see those around. Here they are a bit more prolific, not by much, but you do see them around every so often. Those 1960's though, never around here. I'm sure in central Mexico they would be more common though.

paradime Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 This is a Mexican spec 510 I saw at a car show in my hood. Same straight axle, J mootor, miss matched 68 side markers on a 71 car, totally unique grill and tail lights. The woman driving it told me her father bought it new in central Mexico when she was born. Lost of memories tied to that car. Quote Link to comment
