1972 Datsun 510 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 1972 Datsun 510 generally express a passionate love for this classic car. They appreciate its vintage charm, performance on the rally track, and fun driving experience. Many highlight its powerful engine and agility in handling corners. However, some note the lack of modern features and that the car can feel cramped, especially with modifications, like roll cages. Overall, it's celebrated as one of the best Japanese cars and a true gem for enthusiasts."
I LOVE that I found one....and a 2 door to boot! Very popular in SCCA racing...handle like crazy...still can find these at the track today...so many have been built into race cars...mine is still mostly all original...can't wait to get this one back on the road/ track.
April 18, 2015green machine best car I ever owned. First new car - replaced a beat up VW. Fast (for then) It was a great rally car. Sold it and it went on to a great career in SCCA Pro Rally circuit. With am/fm radio it tipped the piggy bank at $2100. Would have bought a 240Z, but the insurance would have killed me! Pros: the best Japanese car ever Cons: it's biodegradeable - maybe that's good. It was 30 years ahead of its time!
July 25, 2008Awesome vintage jap rally car, going jdm/bre styling with a ka24de, its gonna be awesome. Its a true, raw race car hidden under a family sedan. There is no power steering and there is not much room for rear seats with a rollcage, even though I have a four door, but its nice and small, thats the way I like them. Thats all I have 2 say.

January 26, 2008sr20det motor swap so the fun factor is definitely there. suspension and brakes upgraded to deal with the power, but need to find a way to create a fsb, or just buy an expensive one to stop front end squirm
