psdenno Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm looking at a fastback right now. What are they worth in REALLY bad shape? Really bad shape needing everyhing - like body work, engine/trans, brakes, etc. - maybe $2,000 to $4,000. Mine started as a very solid shell with no drivetrain and went through a 14 month professional build adding all new mechanical components, interior, paint, wheels/tires. Nicely done examples are bringing $20-25K if they started life with a V8 ID#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted December 11, 2007 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2007 I feel your pain. I was just offered $800 for a complete, essentially stock 2-door 510. It has a recently popped HG but otherwise complete, unmolested, and in working order. Besides, who buy's a 510 to keep an L16 unless its a restoration? It has one localized rust issue, otherwise structurally rust free and mostly straight. I was asking $1750. I fully admit $1750 is a little 'rich', but c'mon... $800??? I'll crush it before I let it go for $800. Arrrrrgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy oh boy was Ron all tuned up over this one as he just received that half price haggle yesterday. I haven't seen Ron that spun-out in a very long time. Anyone here that has been out to the shop and seen or ridden/driven Rons dime knows this 2 door dime is quite clean, complete, interior is fully intact and in great condition other than the drivers seat, especially considering its age. Engine has the small SU’s, (SSS or roadster...) elect ign, the “good” exhaust manifold, and a few other niceties. Any how he was so spun out over this "half price haggler" that today he dug his heels in and repaired the popped HG! When he was finished after burping the cooling system he took me for ride and now he seems abit calmer. The car also runs smoother/stronger than it ever has! It is actually a very nice mostly stock Datsun 510. To be honest, the car is worth $2500+ right now as it sits. To the half price hagglers...

Forrest Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That looks nice enough to be a brochure photo, Ron! Don't let anyone rob you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
