Here is a news article - Jul 16 5:14 AM. It mentions the Datsun Roadster and 240Z.

"The only Japanese cars with any real collector value are the 1966-1969 Datsun 1600-2000 roadster and the 1970 Datsun 240Z, but their appreciation has not been as significant as the American cars and so they don't rank among today's best investments. "

Awww, gee, ya mean I'm not gonna get rich owning a Roadster?! :( Guess I'll just have to drive it then! :D

it seems to me that the masses have just discovered what we already now is cool. I think there was a write up in Hemmings Motor News about them as well. I have already noticed the price of decrepid looking 2 liters have gone up since I bought mine. This is the third article that I have heard of in the past 2 months. Its cool with me, climbing values are always a good thing, but in the mean time I'll drive mine like I stole it (and have fun doing it).

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

So I guess that means the 63-65s aren't "collector" cars? :?
