The Datsun 510 became one of the most influential Japanese sports sedans of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its lightweight construction, rear-wheel-drive layout, independent rear suspension and straightforward mechanical design gave racers an affordable platform with considerable competition potential.
In North America, the 510 developed a particularly strong reputation in sedan racing. Its success helped demonstrate that compact Japanese cars could compete seriously in American motorsports and contributed to Datsun's growing performance reputation during the period.
This GreenLight Hobby Shop Series 7 release presents the 1970 Datsun 510 Sedan in a bright orange racing livery with large white #15 graphics and coordinating stripes. A separate race car driver figure is included, giving collectors an additional piece for paddock, pit-lane, garage and vintage racing displays.
This example is the Green Machine Chase variation. The clearly visible green wheels distinguish the chase from the corresponding regular release and add another collectible element for GreenLight, Datsun and chase-car collectors.
