Datsun 510 75 SCCA Runoffs 3rd Road Atlanta

A piece of American motorsport history on your racetrack

The Datsun 510 was one of the most successful and beloved touring cars in SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) competitions during the first half of the 1970s. Lightweight, nimble, and mechanically simple yet reliable, the 510 found in American touring categories the perfect stage to shine against much more powerful rivals. The SICA59B edition from Slot.it recreates the livery of the car that finished in third place at the 1975 SCCA Runoffs held at the legendary Road Atlanta, Georgia, one of the most anticipated events on the American national calendar of the time.

Scale and level of detail

As is customary in the Slot.it range, this Datsun 510 is manufactured in 1:32 scale, the most widespread format in the slot hobby worldwide. The reproduction of the original competition livery —with its colours, numbers, and sponsors typical of the era— makes this model particularly attractive for both collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy racing 70s classics on track.

Slot.it pays special attention to body details, the separation of colour lines, and matte and gloss finishes, which in the Classic range are very faithful to historical photographs of the real machines.

On-track performance

Cars from the Slot.it range are characterised by a very solid factory preparation: balanced chassis, good contact braids, and deep guide compatible with Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it). If your setup is universal track (Scalextric, Ninco), it may be necessary to check the guide or replace it with a compatible one. The motor and internal mechanics follow the house standards, ensuring a predictable and smooth response, ideal for both collection sessions and racing on home or club circuits.
