CC Rolling Outtake: Just Drop That Off At My Place

IMG_7474

 

The other day, I was coming back from the gym and spotted this beauty coming the other direction on the road.  Datsun 510’s are rare as it is, but seeing a pristine example in full BRE racing livery…well that’s plenty of reason to grab my trusty iPhone and pop off a shot. 

Ive only ever seen this livery in two places: pictures of these from the glory days of Trans-Am racing, and on an AFX slot car, which I have one of stashed somewhere. Those were available in a few paint schemes, mine matches this exactly.

Most slot cars offered the bodies in several paint schemes.

 

There’s no telling where this little Datsun is headed, but I wouldn’t complain if it was to my front door!
