Datsun find

Post by ampirate »

So I enjoy driving around looking for hidden gems. On my hunt for cars today I think I might of found a treasure hidden just down the road from where I live. Now all I have to do is hunt down the owner of these beauties.

Agreed, very cool find. There just are not enough 510's left to see a number of them lined up like this anymore. What part of the continent did you find these? If I had to guess by the vegetation, I'd say interior western plateau (interior NW?).

Cool find at any rate, keep us posted.

Hidden? No so much. Treasure? Perhaps not that either. Cars look to have been sitting a long time, windows busted out, parts missing. With 510s over the past 10 years or so, buying a complete running car will cost you less than buying something from that field and getting it back on the road.

Great pictures, but probably not the droids you're looking for.

I did an enlargement of the licence plate, to see the middle emblem, and at the same time, we did a google search on the phone number, Then James (McShagger510) found the company and BINGO......we know where now....

I need some body trim......

One 620 is '74 or older the other is '75 or newer. Both are short wheelbase regular cabs.
