First time I heard about this car: it looks fantastic.

I've always liked the look of the Fairlady.  I was looking for one a few years ago but couldn't find anything that was in reasonably good condition.

Hey Marcus,

If only I knew you were looking for one. I owned a 1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster for close to 20 years and still have many connections. It was a great car but you really need to look at southern cars since rust is the biggest issue as with all of the 60's cars.

Jack, I take it that you no longer have the 2000?

No I sold it about 10 years ago. Still have some parts and I have many friends with everything from a 1959 Datsun convertible, a 1963 Datsun 1500 Fairlady with a third seat option much like the Pagoda and many 1600 and 2000 roadsters. May get another some day but it will have to be the right car.
