So I’m making this post because I’m trying to find a car my pops and I built back a few years ago. He sold it to a guy in Raleigh North Carolina back in late 2011 or early 2012. It was then sold to someone but I don’t know who.. We are trying to track it down so my pops can buy it back. We put a lot of work into it, and he regrets selling it, the car really meant a lot to him. If anyone could help that would be awesome.

Info:
1972 datsun 510
Custom red paint
rota grid-v 15x8 0
Ground control coilovers
Full cage
Old school racaro seats
Nardi wood grain
F20c engine and trans with working s2k cluster
Tuned by magnesium on aem stand alone.
subaru lsd rear end

Wish your dad the best of luck with locating the car. I know the feeling- except I knew where my car was the whole time, haha.

If you have the vin still do a search to see what was the last location it was registered in.
Then join a automotive facebook group near that location and ask them.

Well sad news.... We got a hold of the guy that we sold it to. He told us he sold it to a guy in California and he's almost 100% sure it was totaled :( .
