Lucky Phil Posted 29May, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 29May, 2021 Must be exactly like mine. My rego was KSL178 but mine had head rests on the seats. $25,000 though 🤔 Also the advert for Simplicity Funerals I am taking as a sign not to do it. The slogan "It's your funeral" springs to mind.

LeeM Posted 30May, 2021 Report Share Posted 30May, 2021 Might be mistaken, but I reckon that was up for sale last year for half the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met the current owner at the Island a few years ago, and he still has the original CAMS log book from the 70's confirming identity of the car. DATTO's just go on and on and on.... ... tomo and GTP911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 4November, 2021 Report Share Posted 4November, 2021 Excited to be soon able to contribute again to this topic. More details once it arrives from SA. Hopefully it is as good as it looked in the photos! Edit: reading back through the thread I'm going to upset Niko. Car is running an NA SR20. 81SC, DJM, tomo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81SC Posted 19November, 2021 Report Share Posted 19November, 2021 Nice looking 2 door, sold for a good price & it even has an L series @Niko 😎 https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1970-datsun-510-2-dr micknine01, Niko and Dalai 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 19November, 2021 Report Share Posted 19November, 2021 Lovely car! Same colour as my original car. Just received a call this afternoon that my latest purchase should arrive by the end of next week! Already preparing myself for the expected disparaging remarks from Niko when I post photos... 81SC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalai Posted 19November, 2021 Report Share Posted 19November, 2021 @OZ930 unfortunately I think that one sold a while back as was definitely listed on Gumtree and pretty sure also Carsales a while back. Edit: just checked Sunrise Cars and it is still listed there so if interested it would be good to call and confirm. I still would love a Coupe one day but couldn't justify paying over double what I just bought my sedan for. I have been following the JDM auctions and a few recent coupes have sold for around $42K. Add on shipping, taxes etc it soon adds up! OZ930 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 21November, 2021 Report Share Posted 21November, 2021 Received another call today that my car is on its way and should arrive tomorrow morning. Going to be a sleepless night! First car I have bought without seeing it in person... Fingers crossed it isn't a lemon! Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 22November, 2021 Report Share Posted 22November, 2021 First impressions is that the car looks okay and is a good base. Needing some work to get back on the road, but happy overall! Will get a thorough wash tonight! Came in a covered truck but it must have sat outdoors after the auction.

Dalai Posted 23November, 2021 Report Share Posted 23November, 2021 Washed twice then Aqua Wax this afternoon. Definitely a 10 footer. Has been resprayed recently but on closer inspection I expect it will need some work dealing with rust properly in the next couple of years. Engine shot - flame suit pulled on in case Niko comments.
