Highlights
- This 510 was recently restored, according to the selling dealer. Its factory-fitted drivetrain was reportedly replaced by a turbocharged KA24DE 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine and a 5-speed manual transmission.
- A partial list of notable currently installed equipment reported by the selling dealer includes an MS Labs MS3 ECU, a Garrett Motion T3/T4E 50Trim turbocharger kit, Wiseco pistons, a CX Racing aluminum radiator, coilovers, Wilwood Engineering 4-wheel disc brakes, a carbon fiber hood with Quik Latch pins, bucket front seats, a Sparco steering wheel, and a RetroSound head unit.
- The Datsun 510 made its debut for 1968 as a four-door sedan and a wagon, though a two-door sedan joined the range the following year. Rear-wheel-drive and relatively light, the 510 quickly earned a reputation for being fun to drive thanks in part to its independent suspension system. Winning its class in the SCCA's Trans Am championship in 1971 and 1972 cemented the 510's positioning as an alternative to more expensive European sport sedans. Production ended after the 1973 model year.
- Power comes from a 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, rated at 354 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque at the wheels according to a dyno sheet pictured in the gallery. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
