Do you think it’s worth the effort?

Way back in 1970, the Datsun 510 was purchased in Long Island. We imagine it was cherished by the owner, however it was only driven for a mere 7 years before being parked in a garage. There the Japanese car sat until 2016. Then a guy named Derek saw value in it and bought the car, only for it to sit in his barn for 6 years. Finally, after 44 years of just sitting and gathering grime, the classic is getting a thorough, professional detailing to bring out what beauty is left.

Even though this Datsun is in the very capable hands of AMMO NYC, before watching the detailing we were skeptical just how much luster would still be left in the paint and brightwork after decades of neglect. After all, you can’t bring back what’s completely gone, but we also figured they didn’t post this video just to show a tremendous flop.
