Unhappy

i'm 16 and looking for an 510,i'm going to try and follow in my dads' older brothers' footsteps.He raced the 510s in a ton of races around B.C. Canada.That was all before he passed away about 11 years ago.He was my hero and still is.

Ahhhh, the nostalgia of it all...............

I owned a 1971 510 2-door coupe. I bought one after my buddy waxed my Toyota Corona coupe back in 1970. It was beautiful with aluminum wheels, powder blue paint with a matching vinyl top and a racing stripe along the splash panel. Even in it's box-stock form, most cars could not keep up with it on twisty roads. Alas, I have only ONE picture of it and it only shows half of it parked.

I remember race car driver John Morton just beating everyone way back then in his Trans-am tricked-out 510 coupe.

For its time, it drove better, cornered better, stopped better and handled better than much I have driven since and that's been 30+ years.
That's why I'm so hot to pick up one of these new-generation econo-hot rods and have some fun again. With its rear-wheel drive and fabulous fully-independent suspension, I could really hang it out there on the ragged edge.....all I had to do was be in the right gear and keep my foot on it.

I'll post my "half-picture" once I get it scanned.

Sorry Tim, I haven't been on this board for quite a while. If you're still looking for one, send me a PM and I'll poke around...


By the way, Guys.....I don't have many pics of my 510's handy, but here's a rear shot of one of mine (Chiquita):
