Wow, I stand corrected, I can only find one under $10k. They used to be easier to find. I didn't realize how lucky we were to pick up up two for under $6000 ten years ago. I'm surprised at the prices of some of those '80's 911s these days.
You're right, they're tough to find for under $10k. They'll be in pretty rough shape at that price, so cross off the 911 from the list. This is the only one I could find for under $10k.

Ugly. :guilty:
Just kidding, those have character. Definitely not what Kyle is looking for. It'd look a lot better with 1/2 the lights and a front bumper.

A guy from Germany built it.
Its a W115, W114 or W108 chassis. V8 powered race car.
That's what I'm trying to do to mine. Probably going to power mine with a Chevy 307 or Ford 302 and a 5 speed manual

that 2002 is a cool car.
i'm going for old german car. i'm registering it as a classic to avoid emissions and safety checks. mine is too old for that crap anyway.
plus less issues with regards to modifications.

Most people won't get it, but to me, driving a slow car fast is a LOT more fun than driving a fast car slow. Maybe I'm just justifying my slow car, but it sure makes me smile every time I drive it.

This is my dilemma, I want something fun but I also want reliability. I also don't have the ability to take on a big project right now.....decisions, decisions...

I hadn't even considered one until now. Those are cool cars, seems like they are hard to find with a manual trans and are at the upper end of my budget though...

Dont be afraid to go look at them and test drive them. For myself I have always thought that it would be cool to buy something that runs and drives and fix it up as you go rather than buying a project really cheap and having to rebuild everything before you can even enjoy it.

i picked mine up for $300. so far i have $75 into it. i need a motor and transmission, ball joints and shocks. and a lot of metal fab. but if you are patient and able to do the work yourself, it shouldn't cost a ton.
My car had a top speed of 85. with a tail wind and down hill. it was slow as hell with 100 hp. hoping to put a 300 hp motor in it, make it reliable and daily driven. i think it can be done.

Oh man, why is this not in your driveway yet? I'll bet that's pretty quick with the motor that's in it. I love 510s. Super simple, and you can do another motor swap someday if you want. Like Troy said, it's nice to get a car that's working so you can drive it as you modify it. I love me a 510 with panasports:

I used to live down the street from these guys:
http://www.ermish-racing.com/
They always had the coolest 510s. We'd go weekly just to look at them.

Kyle, I called the guy on the 510. He has had it for 8 years and most of the time it has sat in storage. It runs and drives but needs to have the carbs synced. I made an appointment to go look at it for this sat. He is out of town until then anyways. If you want to go let me know. I wanna go look at it just to see if I like them as much as I think I do.

Haha, you're going to drive the price up because he's going to think demand is high.
Let us know how the test drive goes.
