Hello from San Jose, CA!
Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jon. My wife and I just purchased a 66' Roadster from Shedd, OR and drive her home over the weekend. This is our first car together. Most of the other projects have just been my own but I so excited to have my wife Kim along for this ride. This is our first Roadster but I've wanted one since the early 2000's when I owned 4 300zx's(3 TT and 1 NA). I currently own a 93 RX7 and 01 S2000 which I track. Looking forward to being a part of this community and learning more about these great cars and learning tips on restoring it.

Yes, the interior is red. It's a little rough but nothing that can't be fixed. Looking forward to some drives with the local guys.

ps, like John mentioned above, mark your calendar for April 24-25 and attend the Solvang Datsun Roadster Show. It's a must do.
