new auto-x toy
 

browsing through craigslist, i stumble accross an ad for a 71 datsun 510 2dr for $750, so i go look at it, turns out the guy is relocating to the east coast this week...blah blah blah needs money.... well its a mildly thrashed 510, witha l18, weber, header, 5spd, zx brakes, gutted int, and a full tank of gas. i did what any good car guy would do....paid the man $750 and drove it home. bald 185/60/14's in rain/snow mix+ a new auto-x thrasher= and hour long drive/drift fest...and i dont even think the gas needle moved :D

i would post pics...but its really nuttin special to look at :lol:

I've always wanted a 510. they are cool little cars. Great find :thumbsup:

Cool!! Takes me back to hi-school, a couple guys built those and drove the crap out of them...they can be fun cars!!

Glad you made it home safe and it was good to have you and pops over!!

I road rallied one in college and would see a fellow at Lime Rock doing hot laps in one when I 'upgraded' to a 240Z. Great cars. Enjoy!

Sweet car, you need to make it like one of these..

a buddy of mine is a nissan guy and he sent me to a site. One guy on the site stuffed a 350Z motor in one of those lil things. Talk about power to weight ratio.

Post up the pics!
