Original SF Bay Area car sold by Ray Cokeley Volvo Datsun in Oakland (still wearing the license plate frame). Bought in 2003 in Oakland and driven home to Vancouver. I moved with it to the Bay Area in 2007 where it was prepped for Targa Newfoundland and finished 9th overall at the event. Since then it's been used as an occasional canyon road and track toy.

Over a decade of development by a mechanical engineer who now works in the performance vehicle industry. Work also done by legendary 510 shops Specialty Engineering in New Westminster, BC and Ermish Racing in the the Bay area. Lots of custom parts (owner or shop fabricated) and well thought out modifications. Set up for stage rallying with computer and intercom. Stacks and stacks of receipts totaling tens of thousands of dollars. Hundreds of photos documenting its history since 2003. California Registration current to January 2016. Will help with arranging shipping within North America if necessary.

Homologated “stock” L18 block makes it a good choice for many racing classes. Take it back to Targa Newfoundland, or make some changes (13” wheels and carbs for example) and run the Carrera Panamericana. Pull the EFI system (sell for $) install carbs and go vintage racing. Pull the L18 and sell it to a vintage racer and build up something with a bunch of HP and enter it as a Pikes Peak Vintage Class car, or a make a superb NHA OSPU/O Hillclimber. Take it tarmac stage rallying at the Empire State Performance Rally. It is too nice for me to gravel rally or drift, but if it’s your car, do what you like. If you want to get crazy, it would make an excellent vintage Baja car for the Mexican 1000!

Street legal, raw, reliable, and great fun to drive. Its new owner will be happy.

Asking Price: $16,500

Yes, this is a lot of money for a 4 door, but it is a very specific type of build and my hope is that it is exactly what the next owner is looking for. I believe this to be a fair price considering its condition (I've helped friends look for 510s to buy recently -- yikes!), documented history and development. It is way less money than building the care again (race car economics) never mind making it all work together. It should be mentioned that all factory rally 510s and the BRE Baja car were 4-doors. The price also includes a second set of Watanabes and all the other parts listed below.

The car will be available to be shown in SOMA district of San Francisco starting January 20th, or if you happen to be at the 24 hours of Lemons at Sonoma Raceway this weekend it will be there as well. Contact me by email derek.bruce.young@gmail.com for more information on how you can see it in person.
