But $19000 is super steep. #1971datsun510 more » that ain't the way to have fun, son: CP, though I want to rescue this one...save it from the idiots. It's actually, in my mind, worth it without some of the crap in/on it. #1971datsun510 more » Six Flags Over Tomsk: Save those kinds of "accessories" and stupid asking price for an early '90s Maxima.

1971 Datsun 510
Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Today we're going to check out one of my all-time favorite Japanese cars, the one that started the whole hot-rodded Japanese machinery thing here in the US of A: Datsun 510! Sometimes I get asked whether irate car owners come running after me with a shotgun when they see me shooting their cars, but my experience with this Datsun was more typical; the owner came out to see what was going on, was glad that someone appreciated his car, and opened the hood and trunk so I could get better photos.
