The Datsun 510, produced from 1968 to 1973, was a compact car that significantly impacted the automotive landscape. This innovative vehicle, introduced as a replacement for the Datsun 411, was designed to appeal to the growing American market's desire for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars. The 510 was renowned for its sporty handling, thanks to its independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. It offered a blend of affordability, practicality, and performance, making it a popular choice for everyday driving and even motorsports. The 510 was available in various configurations, including a two-door sedan, a four-door sedan, and a wagon. Under the hood, the 510 was powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, later upgraded to a 1.8-liter unit. This engine, coupled with a five-speed manual transmission, provided a surprisingly peppy performance for its size and class.

The Datsun 510's success was further cemented by its enduring influence on motorsports. The 510, often nicknamed the "510", proved itself a formidable competitor in events such as the Trans-Am Series and SCCA racing. This success led to the development of performance versions, like the 510 GTX, which featured a twin-carburetor engine and other performance upgrades. The 510's legendary status is further attributed to its cultural significance. It became a favorite among enthusiasts, gaining a reputation for its reliability, affordability, and ease of modification. The 510 served as a popular platform for custom builds and racing projects, further solidifying its position as a classic and highly desirable car. Today, the Datsun 510 remains a popular collector's item and a testament to its enduring appeal, thanks to its combination of practicality, performance, and cultural significance.
