New 510 in the family

Recommended Posts

Long story short, my GF bought the 4dr 510 420n620 was selling. It's a 1972, AT all original. Needs some love, but it runs and stops. Wont take much to get it to DD status for her. Here's a couple pics from the CL ad to hold you guys over.

Yea it was me, or rather my lady. She's excited. It's almost ready for the road. It's insured, dmv'd. Fixing a few minor things. Getting exhaust done tomorrow if all goes well.

Yea I was actually surprised it hadn't sold when I contacted him. Such a great deal! CA prices are retarded. Its nice to know there are still fair honest deals around.

yea, drove it for the first time to the muffler shop today. feels underpowered and exhaust smells rich. thinking i might just get a 32/36. put 5gals of fuel in and i could smell it in the car. gonna definitely need to do the fuel filler hose mod. also, the brakes will need some attention.

Believe me I would love to. But we're trying to keep this one economic.

 

Lol. Thanks. I will do good by it.

Things I've fixed so far:

- brake lights

- turn signals

- matching wheels and tires (stock steelies with my old hubcaps)

- fuel gauge

- battery hold down

- rear and side view mirrors

- added a spare

Congrats, I remember thinking this was a really good deal, so good on you for scooping it up. Sometimes it is like they are waiting for us to buy them patiently.

Where's the car from.

 

We got it from east Washington. But I think it was originally an Idaho car.

 

dude I'm stoked for you guys! Me and my girl watched that CL as quite a bit haha glad it went to a good home! :)

 

Thanks!!

 

I would just buff it out and roll it the same color with the rust.

Slam it down

That's the plan. Except won't be slamming it. Gotta make it a comfy ride for her.

Nice.

 

 

Got nice new exhaust yesterday. It's so much nicer and quieter.

I also put the stock hubcaps on from my 510. Pretty big improvement.

The front brakes took a shit at the muffler shop. But, I was at least able to get it home with rear brakes. Definitely sketchy to say the least. Getting close to road readiness tho. Just gotta fix the brake and throw a weber on.
