Thanks Carter.

Pictures and car look awesome.  Appears to be amazing/rare Dime.  I assume it is located in Japan.  Busy page.  

No idea of what to make of this?  A translated page version would be nice.  Beside pics and a 1300-CC model 510 (year?) I have no idea of what I am looking at.  What do I do if I want to spend a fraction of my inheritance money to buy this thing?

Speaking of rare, I found this. Now I just have to figure out how to rescue it. There will be fence to tear down.  
 
Assuming its not a rust bucket. That vinyl roof is always sketchy.

Wow, what a find, untouched 2door! Floorpans are awfully close to the earth as well, cross fingers there.

My very first 2 Dr. had a roof swap. Vinyl roof had rusted things out.

Try this:

https://auctions-yahoo-co-jp.translate.goog/jp/auction/n1209273873?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true

 

If it doesn’t work, go to google translate, click “website” and enter website below in the box.  Then click the arrow.

 

If you don’t already know – 2drs are almost non existent in Japan.

I looked up various fence quotes to see if there is one appropriate for this situation.

 

I think this one will work:

 

"May the fire in your soul, burn down all the fences and walls which this society is trying to build around you."

 

Go get that 510!  : )


It’s even blue.  Same color you will be if you don’t attempt a rescue.

I don't hold out much hope for a rust-free interior.  Rockers, who knows.  Spare tire well likely full of water - or holes.  
Not to mention an old guy who isn't likely to let his treasures go, even though they've been sitting for many  years.

If you need “muscle” to convince the guy to sell, I’m more than happy to join you with sarcastic slurs to throw at him, K.

  I don't get it.
Do international auctions work?
Anyone care to guess I should ask for either of my 2 project cars? 2 doors, rust free, one original green paint, the other white and grey, neither ever dented, most of the rubber new or still in bags, etc. And much cheaper than transporting from Japan, you could even kick the tires first.

I would imagine most buyers of yahoo Japan auctions are from Japan.  Just like most e-bay auction winners are likely in the US.  That said, I purchased both of my 4dr Bluebirds from Japan via Yahoo Japan, through a Japanese auto export service.  And I have purchased many Bluebird parts from Yahoo Japan through Buyee.  Very convenient and ships to my door.
