I also always had a big soft spot for the Datsun 510's and in recent years have seen a couple that were really hot-rodded up in the best "JDM" manner, real little roadracing rockets.
In fact, I actually had a brand new 510 ordered in 1971 which I intended to be my first car after graduating from college that year, but then changed my mind and ordered a '71 240Z instead (white with red leather interior, $4200 out the door after the 4mo wait list), then changed my mind again (~mind drift perhaps caused by excessive psychedelics?) and cancelled the order to buy a slightly used '67 XKE Roadster. Due to my inclination toward "sports cars", I'm now more interested in the Datsun 2000/1600 variations than any of the cool little JDM sedans.
