[SOLD] 1972 Datsun 510 - Original Orange paint w/KA24E engine swap
This 1972 Datsun 510, in the rare lighter stock orange, is the recipient of one of the first "KA" engine swaps. The swap was performed before pre-'75 cars were smog-exempt in California and the owner managed to do all the work to get C.A.R.B exemption.
Body:
The body is pretty straight and the paint is in great condition. No signs of any major/minor rust during our initial inspection. There are some minor dings and a few scratches here and there.
Interior:
The interior is in good condition, but there are mismatched items that we are looking to correct before we sell the car. The car originally had the cream white interior (door panels and seats) but the rear seat is a stock unit in black and the front seats are out of a '90s Honda/Acura. The dashpad is clean, straight and uncracked! An underdash A/C unit is mounted, but the A/C mechanicals on the motor has not been completed.
This vehicle was sold on May 2017 on bringatrailer.com
