datzenmike Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 to a Canadian in the last few days??? Looks like a '70-'73 and has L18 in it. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Guy I work with says his son's friend bought it and is heading down to collect it. Had a picture of it. No front bumper, white goon, L18, '70 or newer marker lights. Paid enough for one with a KA swap. Have to wait and see I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I assumed this one but the ad is still up https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/1971-datsun-510-wagon-price/6515802681.html Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yup found out this AM. Apparently was for sale for a long time.... Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 It had a build thread on here a while ago but I’m sure the pics are lost to Photobucket. I test drove it years ago before this guy bought it. Body was rough and was still an L16/automatic back then... and it was blue. If I remember right this guy put a ton of work into it but still a lot left to do. Plus I think the white paint is hiding a lot... Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 What a shitbox, I feel sorry for the new owner. Rust holes “repaired” with fiberglass and filled over with mud...whom ever bought this thing should be posting in the fml thread soon. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Keep in mind he may become a member here and he is a Datsun owner..... Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I honestly feel for him, my guess is there’s a nightmare waiting under the white paint. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 New Hampshire was a bad idea... Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 did the sale fall through or did I pick the wrong wagon? This one is still for sale - now $4,200 https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/1971-datsun-510-wagon-price/6570703357.html Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'll ask the guy I work with. His son's friend was supposed to go down and get it. Now if I can just remember in the morning..... Quote Link to comment
Gduncandesigns Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hello everyone. New member here and potential owner of this car. After many conversations with the owner and 100 or so pictures( haven’t seen in person) we are very close to pulling the trigger and having it shipped to the Midwest. The rust and previous body work has me concerned but the other work seemed to make it a worthwhile project. We understand it won’t be a show car. It will be a project for myself and my 16 yo son, both of us have wanted one for as long as I can remember. I am confident in my body skills and can repair most anything but after reading a few comments above I’m concerned. Just looking for an honest opinion. Thanks Greg D 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I feel it would be worth it if the body was flawless and the rims had been selected to fit better. Also a 71B transmission. Quote Link to comment

KoHeartsGPA Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Is this what the old classifieds used to be like? Quote Link to comment
Gduncandesigns Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks guys for the feedback. We are going to hold off and keep looking for a goon that is in better shape for the money. Shoot me a pm if you know of anything in the $3500-$4500 range 1 Quote Link to comment
