Hey Everyone, New to Roadsters but not new to Datsuns

Post by 280zjoel »

Hi Everyone, Just thought id introduce myself. My Name is Joel, and I love datsuns. Ive owned a 240z, 260z, and I currently own a 280z. Recently me and a friend picked up this 1969 1600 roadster from craigslist for $750.

I think its a great starting point and I have checked all the common rust spots. The car seems to be in decent shape. As for plans in the future, Sr20de swap, strip and repaint the car silver, and restore interior.

Very nice find, Did you or your friend point the gun at the seller when you robbed him? And the wheels are a bonus too.

Thanks guys, I hope to get this car looking sharp once its done. By the way If anyone is interested, I do have the wheels for sale off of the car. i know that they are 14in, but not sure of the offset or rim width. Need some funds to get the project rolling.
