I have this 72 Datsun 510 wagon that belonged to my granddaddy. When he
got sick like 35 years ago my dad put it in the barn where it sat until
maybe 15 yr ago when I pulled it out and stuck it in a storage bin in
KY. It is basically all original, in good shape except for a few small
body dings and what the mice and time have done to it. So a fairly
unmolested barn "find." A coupla weeks ago I got thinking about it, and
found some FB groups for 510s. Lot of guys with cool cars, some mostly
original, some modified with newer engines, etc. but still OK. Fun to
see the old cars being loved.
I just saw this POS project car listed, a sedan, the guy wants $2800
for. So now I'm thinking this thing I have, even just cleaned up a bit
not even running might be a $5k car, and if got back running who knows?
Not that I want to sell it, but I think that is pretty crazy. My
granddaddy, who was a very wise man for being mostly unschooled (at
"school" anyway) would probably say something about fools and money and
such and just laugh and laugh. He probably paid maybe $800 for it back
then, if that much, used, a few years old, and drove it for maybe 10 years.
