Datsun Roadster at SEMA

Post by Alvin »

Saw this wild "2000" today at the SEMA Show in the Optima Batteries Challenge grid.
Did not get to see it compete!

That reminds me of a kit by "kaminari" or a name similar to that. Patrick in So Cal. brought his red one to Solvang in 2014? Maybe 2015? I don't know but if you ever talk to him, he'll tell you all about it.

There was a brief write-up on it in Grassroots Magazine, It is mostly corvette under the body as I remember them saying.

Not sure I would have even recognized it as one of ours from a side profile view 🤔
