Anyone familiar with this 510 in West Covina?

I'm really interested in this, but there are almost no details in the ad. Exchanged a few texts, but haven't gotten a full build list yet. Anyone familiar with the seller or the build?

because I'm bored to death sitting in another airport waiting to come home, here are the photos for documentations sake :-) byron

Agreed, that's a lot of money for basically no ad. If you've already contacted the seller and you still have questions, that should be telling you something.

Also, that's a typical SoCal SR510, which is to say they were lazy and there aren't any wipers and I'd guarantee there's no heater, either, 'cause they like to slam 'em against the firewall down in these parts.

The car is also for sale on Facebook. The seller is Carlos Roman. You can see the ad in the Datsun 510 Parts for Sale group.

Thanks for the tip, qwik. Doesn't look like a lot of additional detail there either. Maybe he'll get back to me with a build list. I think 20k is a nice round asking price, how much would you guys say something like this ought to fetch?

@okayfine, good note. Definitely something to ask about.

Without a lot more information, history, pictures, etc., there's no way we can put a price on it. The car's worth what someone's willing to pay for it. Based on his ad, I'd say he's just fishing for $20K, see who bites.
