I hope he's not asking much, there is a lot of work to be done on that body and the sun roof hole lowers the value a lot. I'm not up on 510 prices but they are in fashion at the moment so some guys are willing to pay anything to get one, what is this guy asking for it?

1800 bucks is where were at on it. Sunroof im ok with but ya. I dont know.... Around here (Vancouver canada) u can buy a complete car for 5k but the rust is way worse than this one

Well don't let him know your okay with the sunroof! That is a bargaining chip   Just remember the rust you see is only a 1/4 of what is really there.

Good luck

Thanks eh, I've hit him up for a lot of pictures I probably have 40 pictures of the car from every different angle the floors are certainly shot and he's already started cutting those out for the trunk fenders whatnot or looking actually pretty decent even from underneath and behind

Something inside changed i backed out on my offer after digging around for parts. Simple but never really thinking about it parts like the moutlnt plate for the wiper motor and all those guts, an entire suspension etc. Cant justify it. Id sooner buy a complete car and do a bunch of the body work myself

The parts for 510's make finding 240z parts, look easy in comparison.

You could buy a complete car for not a lot of money more and be way better off!

In my opinion the body with no suspension or drive train is worth a couple hundred bucks. Bare 240z shells bring about what this sellers is asking but the finished Z is worth significantly more when finished than a 510...

Have you looked for a totally rusted out but reasonably complete 510 and join the two?

[Elliott000]

No i havent but that's a good thought. I'll continue the hunt!

What Mark said. Unless you already have another car or a pile of significant parts, you’re in the market for one. This is a long way from home, and likely that’s why the current owner wants it gone, now that he’s scrounged everything usable. Steal it or keep looking.

I've got nothing 510,i might sell my mini van and search for a 8/10000 buck one, we've got a ram for running around and ill drive my bronco to work . No more soccer van for dad! Just gotta talk the wife into it hehe

Elliot, good advice here, look for a complete car starting point.

You have a large active 510 group in your area. If you don't already know it, check out the 510realm.com forum. They can help you find a project car.
