This 1972 Datsun 510 two-door has been with its third owner for 10 years now, and they describe it as a lifelong California car that remains all original including paint, interior and engine, adding that rust is limited to a small spot on the driver’s side lower, front rocker area. Upholstery is tattered, but the car looks quite good otherwise, and benefits from a freshly rebuilt motor. Restored blue plates and the original window sticker are included as well. Find it here on Craigslist in Imperial County, California for $7,500.

The seller describes paint as all original, with no touch-ups or partial resprays. The closeup below is said to show the only rust anywhere on the car, which if true is a definite plus. It seems like it needs to be taken care of soon, but that shouldn’t be difficult by the looks of things. No other exterior shots are included, and hopefully the other side looks just as good.

Inside, seats certainly show their age and are said to be “the worst thing about the car”, but otherwise the cabin looks quite decent. Additional photos within the ad show what looks like a good driver’s door panel to match the well preserved right side item seen here, and the dash doesn’t appear to be cracked up either. Carpets are faded, but the rear bench looks to be original and free of rips. The seller plans on reupholstering it soon, after which the asking price will go up accordingly.

The engine is claimed matching-numbers and is further said to have just six miles use since a rebuild. No other mechanical details are given, but the engine bay does look tidy and correct.

Sale includes restored plates, the original window sticker, and apparently a period brochure, too.
