Earlier tonight at about 10 I decided to go to this CD store off of Summit Ave. in St. Paul (for those who dont live in the TC Summit ave is an old area of St. Paul, large old houses, very well mantained, couple colleges about, kinda eccentric and pricey). So Im about halfway down Summit somewhere just after lexington Parkway I think and I see to the side of the road an old reddish 510 two door (light mods). So I decide to go around the block to get a better look and I see right next to it either a 1600 or 2000 off white datsun roadster!!! biggrin.gif Both were in great shape, definetly restored. Id have to say both had to be between 70 to 72 because the did not have large bumpers. I have never seen a 510 2 door OR a roadster ever before in person, and you would be shocked to see how narrow these cars look next to modern cars. They look almsot 3/5ths scale in a way. it was soo cool. i really wish i got a chance to talk to the owner/s of the cars because who really restores cars like these anymore, ya know? I dont think ill ever see another 510 in good shape (or roadster EVER) on the road again, especialy living in the "salt belt"... rolleyes.gif
