December 16, 201113 yr comment_374654 Dime wagons aren't all that rare here on the West Coast, I see them on the road a couple times a week. Been a while since I've seen one that nice, though. Not since Canby last June.

December 16, 201113 yr Author comment_374656 Back here in the east, practally the only Datsun's you see are Z's, the rest rusted to the ground and blew away with the wind. I did see a really cool B210 at the Carliles meet last year, but I couldn't get the owner to sell it to me.

December 17, 201113 yr comment_374675 That's one sharp looking car. It's also a good example of the influence of GM stylists on Japanese design at the time.Chris Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/41661-i-havent-seen-one-of-these-in-person-in-decades-neat-car/#findComment-374675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 17, 201113 yr comment_374682 510 mimic traditional European design, they look like Fiats,Opels, Cortinas, Alfas sedans among other Old Continent cars from the mid 70's, I own a 1972 two door sedan with original paint and a lot of people stop me and ask what brand is this, they are very nostalgic. They are gaining the value they deserve.

December 17, 201113 yr comment_374683 I would rather have a VW wagon. Datsun wagons never did it for me. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/41661-i-havent-seen-one-of-these-in-person-in-decades-neat-car/#findComment-374683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 18, 201113 yr comment_374748 I've had 2 510's in the past - a '68 and a '73. Both 4 door sedans. I loved them. I like the wagons, but they had a solid axle while the sedans had semi-trailing arm i.r.s. Real good handlers on less-than-perfect back roads. Just needed a little more power.Not on par with a Z but lots of fun. I'd have another one if I had room and extra bucks.

December 18, 201113 yr comment_374785 Beautiful car, and such a clean example. When I saw the seats I was said hey wait, those are the exact same seats I sit in every day, those are E30 sports seats! They actually go really well, but then again the 510 was based off of the old bimmers anyhow.All I can say is I hope this guy gets top dollar for that amazing car, such a perfect build. Wagon wouldn't be my first choice but that is probably why he wants to sell it.
