Eagle-If you get that 521, I'm calling dibs on it now when you want to sell it.
No matter what!
Now...are these leaf spring or linked in the rear?

I believe they are 4 link.
That thing would be blue sex with a 3 inch drop and some early 510 bumpers.

I know. Right?
If it's 4 link, I might pull the trigger.

The second generation 510 sold from 1978 to 1981 and had 2.0L engine (first L-series then Z-series) but had gone to solid rear axles for all variants. Press reaction condemned it as being a rather dull but competent car trying to cash in on the good image of the 510 name. The fun, sporty character of the previous car seemed to be gone. 1980 brought square headlamps which didn’t improve the styling but added fuel injection. My beloved separate gauges were even lost as well.

People are gonna hate-but I think the HL wagon looks better than an original 510 wagon.

looked at the wagon yesterday. It's got a Z20 w/ auto. Has a few issues like wipers run slow, owner installed a kill switch because the battery drains down, 2 doors open from outside but not inside and their some kind of (looks like a circuit board above the steering column ) should have got pic's, HL's have a slight delay when they comes on. Anyways, good exhaust, didn't puff smoke when he started it up, when trying to start it takes a while but it does run. The owner says if not sold by 8/12, off to the scrappers. If I had the room, it would be here to save it from the scrapper.
