Last Saturday at the NFS SoCal event, I spotted a very cool looking Datsun 510 sitting in the parking lot just outside the main event area and thought you guys might want to have a quick look.
There's nothing outrageous about this car, but it's clean and original – just as you'd want an old Datsun like this to be.
It has been tweaked in a few spots though. It's been lowered a bit and is wearing a set of 14" SSR Mk.II's with Falken Azenis tires. There are also fender mirrors and a chin spoiler which can be seen in the opening shot.
Check out the sticker repping 510 specialists Refresh 60 in Yokohama. Someone knows what's up!
Further adding to the old school character are a set of original blue California plates.
A quick shot I grabbed as the wagon rolled out.
How can you not like the vibe of this old cruiser?

looks awesome!!!! so clean
I think I know this car. It belongs to Jun at Ratsun.com. He did a great job bringing it to that condition.
Sooo proper
Beautiful! Great to see examples like this here!
Thanks for showing us! Shiba Green - the same colour my 510 was. Brings back memories. Thanks again.
Simply beautiful!
That color combo is amazing. I love SSR MK IIs
The car looks great, but there seems to be some wrinkle on the paint right under the Refresh 60 sticker.
I believe car detailers call that orange peel. Quite a shame, really.
The engine bay is just as clean as the outside,,,, ,, all fresh paint ..... no dirt
Way To Go Jun!!
JUN! You're my HERO!
nostalgic japanese car
this car is just right, not overly done or hacked to death, "back to original spec", i also like the colour, reminds me of younger days - such a pity we never had this car in the UK!
Very tidy & tasteful. I like the rear ends on these wagons too
I love it.
Thanks for the comments guys, and thank you Speedhunters for the spotlight! As for the orange peel below the Refresh 60 sticker (the best 510 shop, ever) I didn't quite finish sanding and buffing the clearcoat on all the panels. I'll get to all of it someday...
^^^^ seriously? Do you really need to neg this car. Wrinkley paint my arse!!!
Also agree. Why the fark would you neg this car over a little paint...lol.
Bit sensitive perhaps.
Jun, man, i dig it, as is. Looks awesome, and would be hella fun to rock around in!
What engine does she have? Still stock?
I love this wagon. So properly restored. Love the MKII's also.
It's the stock L16 in there, with twin SU's. Would be nice to have a bit more power, but it runs great as is; it's been a fun and reliable daily driver.
waaaaao!!
Very cooool & clean 510.
Are you Jun?

It was surprised very much.
