Its relatively light weight, independent rear suspension and straightforward mechanical design gave racers an affordable platform that could be developed into a competitive road-racing car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 510's reputation in the United States grew substantially through SCCA competition, particularly the success of Brock Racing Enterprises during the early 1970s. That racing history helped establish the 510 as an important part of early Japanese motorsports culture in North America and contributed to its continued popularity among vintage racers and collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis GreenLight Hobby Shop Series 5 release gives the 1970 Datsun 510 a competition-inspired presentation with a green body, large white #27 door graphics, black Datsun lettering and matching race car driver figure. The separate figure makes the set particularly useful for pit-lane, paddock, garage and vintage racing dioramas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is the \u003cstrong\u003eGreen Machine Chase\u003c\/strong\u003e version.
