1968 Datsun 510 This is a 1968 Datsun 510 racecar. I bought this car out of a barn years ago and I have had it in dry storage while I collected parts for the restoration. Recently, my focus has changed to other Datsun racecars so I’m offering this for sale to any racers who may be seriously interested in this 510. This is a unique opportunity and includes some very rare parts. If you know about vintage Datsun 510s I'm sure you recognize the significance of the rare parts included with this car. Send me any questions you may have and I will email you back with my email and phone number so we can discuss details. My goal was to build a front running 510 to race in vintage events on the east coast. The car is apart and needs restoration. This is a rare and desirable 1968 2-door with typical period BRE style modifications. It has 240Z brakes, weight jackers, spherical bearings in all the suspension points, adjustable lower a-arms, etc. I have logbooks back to 1980 and the logbook will be signed over to the new owner with a bill of sale. This is a racecar so there is no title. The car was last raced in 1990. The cage is 1.5” 0.095” DOM. The horizontal brace for the driver’s seat needs to be added once the seat position is established for the new owner's preference. The piece of DOM tubing for this will be provided to the new owner.
