Datsun 510

There’s been no love for classic Japanese steel in the Speed Champions line, so it’s up to us to make it happen! This little monster is a Datsun 510. The 510 is one of my all-time favorite vehicles and one that has become a car tuner staple. Light and flexible with such wonderful basic proportions that it looks good in almost any modified configuration.

 

This old track dog has been converted to shop car duty, random daily use, and handing out the occasional stop light smack-down. It’s unknown what lurks beneath the hood of this beast, but it does have a reputation for embarrassing those who underestimate it. A burly roof rack takes care of anything the shop can throw at it, and a complementary set of garage accessories help round things out.

 

On the detailing front, I used graphic inserts for the headlights to give some much needed definition there, printed some custom personalized plates and applied some mid-century minimalist track livery to dial in the vibe. I hope you enjoy!
