Wow, looks really clean in the pics.

Looks very clean. Haven't walked around it, but pulled up front and took the pictures from my truck. I believe it's been restored.

I never appreciated them when I was younger. I like them now.

I had 72 240z with triple Weber’s and a 71 510 years ago. What I would give to have them both back. Used to take the 510 to Summit Point for races. Would have loved to take the 240Z for a few laps, but it didn’t have a roll cage.

Loved my '70 510, my second car; I could dump the clutch and smoke the tires (Michelin ZXW IIRC). During the oil embargo -- I wanna say around '75, yeah, I'm old -- I was going to school in Northern Iowa, driving from NC Illinois. Was getting 35+ mpg but the feds were "recommending" driving 55 mph on the interstates, and troopers were even stopping cars just to get the point across. I did my usual 70 or so and got stopped multiple times, but the troopers just shook their heads and told me to carry on once I filled them in on the mpg.

My cousin in ND had a two-seater roadster, a Datsun 2000, that she let me drive a little while during a visit. That was a fun car, too!

How much ???

( 240's)...... We had at the Bondurant school, about 30 240's.... Some 2000's... A couple years later Datsun gave us a couple 260Z Turbos..... For school cars on a track with all turns, the car didn't work out.

The turbos kicked in then the car would try to spin out.

When we went to Ford...... They created the school car at the track.... Creating what was called the SVO Mustang.....

Sadly, 25 of the 240Z's were crushed..... No VIN numbers..... Sad.....

It wasn't posted on the sign but I can take a close up of the phone number tomorrow and post it if anyone is interested in calling.

What happened to the other 5 cars? Did those have vins?

HOLY FARK!!!!

They were sold. But I think, one was saved & Bondurant kept it.....

A very few non- VIN cars were sold as race cars.....

I saw one in original 'school' condition at Palm Beach Raceway, FL. last year.

The 510’s had almost a 50/50 weight split that made them a great road race car, same with the BMW 2002’s. The other nice thing were the pedals were close enough together for using the heel/toe method. I remember going to see Paul Newman race his 510 a few times. He was no slouch on the track

 

[mountie]

Bondurant had a bunch of 510's for a while, before I got involved..... The BMW 2002's , etc were also GREAT SCCA cars.

( The Mini Coopers were fabulous to watch ) !!

During that time, I crewed SCCA with a F-5000 McRae GM1, then an IMSA Chevy 'wide-body' Monza. Ahhhh that V-8 sound.......

Someone needs to read up on what @ivin74 and @Rocket Man did with the bumper gap.

I loved the Mini’s as well, they were like driving a slot car. The old GTI’s were a decent track car, you could get the left rear tire in the air going around the carousel. I’d love to drive some of the Skylines that JDM Legends work on. It’s too bad we only got the 1.6L in the 510’s. Just needed to add a header and some side draft Weber’s to give it a little kick.

Interesting.......( A local dealer trim option?)
But I am REALLY trying to like the exterior treatment...... <also noting wheel design>....

.....Still trying......


Can't do it....... Ugly as hell .......

( I almost clicked on 'report' )

Agreed. Only thing I liked was the carbon fiber look interior pieces. Unfortunately I couldn't get a good pic, the doors were locked.

And..... what's with the Ford style hood scoop ???

This GMC almost looks like someone made a practical joke for OCC..... The interior looks OK...

Just OCC trying to cash in on their popularity I guess--at the time. Rims look to be stock 04 style without the center caps. I'm sure it wasn't cheap when new. They did a lousey job wrapping the center console lid.

Same dealer.

6.6 turbo diesel with only 106,000 miles on it. Clean, clean, clean! I'd buy it if I had the $$. Beautiful condition. Only thing I don't like are those ugly side graphics.
