So, I wasn't sure where to post this, but the more I thought about it, the more it took on a story. I'd love to find out that my favorite car is still around putting big grins on someones face!
Last I knew of it was that I sold it to a guy named Brian (last name forgotten) around the Fall of 1993 or 94. He moved to Montana or Idaho within a year or so of buying it from me.
It was a '72 510 4dr, spraypainted white. It had an AutoPower rollbar, fiberglass front fenders w/flares, fiberglass hood and airdam. It also had 240z bucket seats and I had put a 240z turnsignal stalk on it. 13x7 Libre wheels, euro taillights, etc, etc.
The story starts when my Aunt bought it new in 72/73 from Downtown Datsun in San Jose, CA, where my Dad worked as a mechanic.
It was an automatic, had Orange paint w/ dual white stripes on the trunk and hood and had a white vinyl top. It also had the Appliance wood steering wheel and aluminum wheels. She drove it for years, then let it sit for years.
Sometime near '86-87, my Dad bought it from her and then gave it to me when I turned 15, in '88. I drove and fixed and hotrodded it for several years. It ended up with a well built L18 overbored with flattops(I believe), several different cams and carbs. I changed it to run the 200sx 5speed and an R180 diff.
I'm going to try and find some of my old pics and scan them in. Just maybe Brian still has the car and is on here?!
