Great timing! I just sent it to a buddy that wants to run a 13b in something.

Looking for a blank canvas to create your ideal track car? How about this Datsun 510?
According to the seller, the 510 is a running and driving California car with no rust.
The Datsun likely has some SCCA history, though none of it is stated aside from the seller mentioning an “old log book” that is in included in the sale.
Located in Sea Cliff, New York, this 1970 Datsun 510 has an asking price of $8500.
Great timing! I just sent it to a buddy that wants to run a 13b in something.
In reply to preach :
13B in a 510 sounds like a lot of fun.
For God sakes don't put a rotary in it..........
It would be damn good fun with a rotary but these cars have such value now that it's best kept all Datsun.
Besides a race prepped L16 is capable of 160-165hp at the wheels. L20s are now belting out 200hp at the wheels.
You could also build a 2300cc motor for it as a track day car.
As 510s go this is an absolute steal. Average 510 race cars are now 30K and really top notch ones with provenance are 80-100K.
Troy Ermish has/had a nice one for sale for $105,000
I say SR20DE no T and velocity stacks.
In reply to Datsun240ZGuy :
I believe it sold. He was driving a different car at the B-sedan races last momth.
Also at the BRE open house Peter Brock mentioned that a front running 510 is now an 80K car.
In reply to GTwannaB :
I like this idea, too.
In reply to preach :
Ugh... 510's are worthy of being kept all Datsunissan... A rotary would ruin its real race ability/legality.
I surely miss my 510 from back in the day. This is/was a good deal--perfect for modding and having a lot of fun in the process.

Doesn't Troy usually race his blue car?
