Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Steve,
Have a new 67.5 2000 for you. It is number SRL311-00215. The car is in very nice shape, not a solex car. It has many new parts on it, when I saw it for the first time it was a definete project, however it is now in great shape and I hope it goes to a good home. I don't know much of its history other than it sat in a garage for many years and nearly became a parts car for a 68 1600! I hope the guy gets $10k+ for it because it is worth it.

Thanks Will, I will get it put into the registry tonight. I guess I can snag a picture from Ebay.

Mike Young is offering it for sale on ebay.

I'm surprised that more people haven't bid on the car. Almost 2000 people have looked at it, but only 3 people have bid. The car is in far better shape than #188 was and it went for almost $8000 if I remember correctly. Mike did a nice job on this car and it deserves to get a higher price. If I had the money I would buy it right now. The car is ready to go and needs nothing but a softtop and frame.

I think that Mike Young needs to work on his salesmanship a little. He makes no mention as to whether the car is numbers matching. Also, what is with the white hard top? Why not just put a good sof top on it? He restores the cars for living right? It's missing some pieces like the license trim and those front fender markers?

I am sure that Mike did a great job on the car but it seems "not quite there" yet.

I agree that the soft top frame should be included. The license trims are exceedingly difficult to locate, so a missing one would not doom the car to not selling. A large number of the 67 2000s are missing that piece. As for the white hard top, some folks like those. Not my preference for color, but a hard top is a nice thing to have. With a limited production car (1000 cars qualifies for that level), numbers matching is nice to have, but should also not be a death sentence for getting a good price. There are some 67 2000s that came from the factory with the front markers. In the Brooklands book on roadsters, there is a nice photograph of a 67 2000 sporting the marker lights (front only) and the FairLady emblems on the side. It is dead stock. (not a US market car though....)

The car is nice. If I had the money, I would buy it and get rid of my cars....

Looks like he sold it off ebay. I checked the auction about an hour before it was due to close and it had been ended. Hope it went to a good home!
