The Datsun may predate the JDM you know today but its diecast collectibles are must-haves if you call yourself JDM enthusiasts. More so if the diecast is based on the celebrated 1970 Datsun 510 Rally car, so yeah, get ready to rev up your collection with the latest Matchbox must-have: the 1:64 scale 1970 Datsun 510 Rally.
This die-cast beauty takes you back to the days of disco but with a whole lot more horsepower (well, by 70s’ standard, that is). Decked out in Spectraflame orange, this model gleams like no other, and with its unique roof rack and bold side decals, it’s a total throwback to the golden age of rally racing.
The Datsun 510 Rally isn’t just a car—it’s history on wheels. Known for jump-starting Nissan’s American success, this model pays homage to the car that claimed Nissan’s first pro racing win. With a ZAMAC body, white-painted chassis, and True Grip tires with solid white hubs, this 1:64 scale beauty is finely tuned for any collector’s garage.
Complete with a light-tinted window, a black interior, and snugly packaged in an acrylic case, this Datsun is ready to roll. Whether you’re a die-hard JDM collector or a person who is just digging the vintage vibe, this rally-ready edition is one to watch.
The new Matchbox 1970 Datsun 510 Rally 1/64 diecast collectible is available for pre-order now for US$25 a pop, with shipping on or before August 30, 2024.
