I do need to make it to shows outside my area though!
Thanks for the Bilstien recommendation.Gregs672000 wrote: Sun Feb 20, 2022 10:47 pm Welcome brother from #588. Car looks great and very correct! I fell in love with mine 37.5 years ago when it first drove past me, then became mine 36 years ago and the love affair has never died. Since it was already modified and a basket case, I did what ever I wanted to it, and today it's fuel injected, crank fired and modified in many other ways. Its been everything I've ever wanted in a car and mechanical friend. And while you have some very cool cars there, here and gone, I think you'll agree, there's nothing like a convertible. Enjoy your return to home!
BTW, if you don't already have them, get yourself a set of Bilsteins. Night and day.
WELCOME!

Pretty obvious at this point that your nr.550 is generating considerable interest among this group of roadster enthusiasts, many of whom wish for more details on the car. At your convenience, please submit information and photo you would like to include in the permanent registry:

I was wondering is anyone would comment on the License plate, from my "74 911 Targa", whose days, according to the boss are number and will be sold in coming months. If you have tried to register a vehicle at your DMV you share my frustrations. Can't get in to get it registered until March.bajaroadster wrote: Mon Feb 21, 2022 10:38 am Welcome to the group! That is a real beauty. And,according to the license plate, the very rare "Targa" version!
The car had a body swap. The comments in this thread on Bring A Trailer should bring things to light. https://bringatrailer.com/2015/02/26/19 ... -roadster/the550 Roadster wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 8:41 amSteve,datsun1500 wrote: Mon Feb 21, 2022 7:16 pmIt’s in the 67 2000 registry, but needs updating.

I will dig into the registry and update it. There is no evidence this car has ever been blue, much less wrecked. A paint guy I know with 40+ years painting cars confirmed it's original with the driver's door and fender having been repainted at some point. The frustrating thing with Datsun vice Porsche, for example is documentation. Whether it is factory or POers, not everyone does a good job holding on to it. This site looks to change some of that for the community. So, thank you.
