Hey Friends .Time to put my last cars up for sale
Here we have
1971 Datsun 510 4-Door — From Original Owner — California Car — 78,000 Original Miles — No Rust
It is a very nice 1971 Datsun 510 4-door with a 4-speed manual transmission.
This is a special car with a great history. The original owner purchased the car new in April 1971 in California, and the car remained with the original owner until I purchased it. It was always kept covered and stored in a garage.
The car has 78,000 original miles, all original body panels, the original interior, and no rust. It runs and drives great.

This is a very solid, rust-free 1971 Datsun 510 with an unusually well-documented history. Finding an early 510 with 78,000 original miles, original-owner history dating back to April 1971, original body panels, original interior, California history, no rust, original documentation, and the original matching-numbers L-16 engine included is getting increasingly difficult.
The car is not being represented as a perfect restoration. It is an older car with some imperfections and older paint, but it is a great-running, rust-free 510 with an excellent foundation for a collector, driver, or restoration project.
