No, it was rear wheel drive. I can't think of a front wheel drive version.
Somewhere I have a couple of photos of a different model Datsun from that
time period that I should have died in. I wasn't driving. I was smart
enough to know that I shouldn't drive, but I wasn't bright enough to not get
in with the guy that was matching me drink for drink across the table all
night. I have 1 picture of the 510 also, but I won't find it unless I don't
look for it ... :)
