1971 Datsun 510 Coupe 2dr Minimal rust - AZ CAR SINCE DAY1 - DESERT SURVIVOR - (has) factory AC (some stuff missing)THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES BUT IT NEEDS some restoration to make it a driver. It sat next to a house since 1986 in the dry Az desert . 1 of the HOTTEST JAPANESE CARS BEING RESTORED ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOWfirst I want to say. this is possibly the most rust free Datsun 510up for sale . and right now. the 510s are one of the hottest Imports on thelist of cars to restore / resto mod and own. Paperwork comes with the car showing which shows it originally sold in AZeven had the original warranty card and paperwork loan from AZ bank. It was driven and used here in Tucson and Benson Az its whole life andhas been parked since the mid 80s. The car comes with a few file folders of paperwork from the previous owner. The last owner used it in some SCCA stuff once a month and then when the starter died in the mid 80s. it was parked. The paint did get faded but the body of the car is in amazing shape. Because the car still retained its original rubber floormats. moisture did gettrapped under the front mats. and after many yrs of this the pass side floorrotted away. and the driver side got some rust too. Thats pretty much the only rust on the car that needs repair. 2 front floorboards. I believe the AC was factory but if not. it was dealer installed in 71 when the car was new. Odometer shows 13xxxx miles on it. but chances are is has rolled overat least once. . BUT KEEP in mind. this car was only driven mostly for SCCAweekend stuff between 71 and 86. so maybe it is original miles. Its not been on the road since 1986. DRIVETRAIN: under the hood is the original matching #s motor1. 6 4 cyl . at one time I think the car had had a dogleg 5 spd installed. The car sat for almost 30 yrs. but with very little work we got itup and running off a small can of gas under the hood. It still needsa brake master. new hoses. and some misc stuff under the hoodto make it a driver. But Ive driven the car around our parking lotand it sounds and runs well for as old as it is too and been dormantFor so long. Plan on doing tires. thermostat housing and normalmaintenance stuff to make it a daily. E brake works. We temp have it hot wired from the coil to the battery because Ididnt have time to find out why the ignition switch wasnt sendingpower there. But it does start and shut off with the factory keysright now. INTERIOR: this is where AZ heat etc did most of the damage. Theinterior is baked and its going to need just about everything. The goodthing is most of the core stuff is there and usable. Even the factory ACstuff under the dash looks complete. No matter how you decide to restorethis car. the interior will need to be gutted and redone. All the glass is good and windows roll up and down. Ignition key worksfunny but it works for now. Exterior: yep. thats still factory paint on the car. And for its age itsin really nice shape. Even the chrome on the bumpers and how straightthe bumpers are is really amazing. Az cars are like time capsules :)It has a few dents and stuff on the car. but honestly. Id get the mechanicsdone first. and interior and drive it just the way it is. A SURVIVOR !!THEY ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE !!!SUSPENSION: the suspension has been modded for SCCA stuff. steering feelstight like it should. KONI s on the rear. possibly on the front too. ADDED on rear sway bar. Libra 13" wheels. and lowering springs. These are BLUE and I dont recall the company who sold them back in the 80sBut they dropped the car about 1. 5"Even as aged as it is. the car still handles great driving it around the parking lot. Its like a little go kart !Handles great. like these cars where meant too. Tires are dry and old. This car is 90% rust free Arizona carCheck out ALL the pics below ----->it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have aslow connection. so be patient AND looks for the extra scrollbar on the right side.

We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for saleand even if you have to pay shipping to your area. it still beatspaying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these daysspeaks volumes. Also. if you buy a car thats been "restored". who knows what sortof surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs arefast. for a quick buck and quality suffers. Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
