The 1971 Datsun BRE 510 #46 at Z Car Garage!
The Datsun 510 is very close to our heart and today, the actual Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) Datsun 510 #46 race car arrived at Z Car Garage. Despite being against all odds, our hero John Morton drove this 510 to SCCA Trans-Am series championship victories in 1971 and 1972, putting Nissan on the map and fueling every Datsun enthusiast’s passion for hot-rodding the humble economy car.
We are preparing the 510 for the 10/14-16 (next weekend!) Velocity Invitational where you can see it in person with John Morton and Pete Brock!
Having the BRE 510 at the shop today was a surreal experience, especially next its Trans Am brethren, thanks Nissan! Enjoy our photo gallery and video on zcarblog:

Pete Brock and John Morton reunited with the BRE Datsun 510:
There was a lone roadster in the paddock, 1500! For rental!

Thanks Alvin for the BRE 510 revisit. What an iconic car. Such a simple car. This was the car that got me into cars. My first car(s) was a 1971 two door 510. Such a simple car to work on and to modify. At age 15, I purchased it and rebuilt and modified it in my parents driveway.
