You assholes.... this isn't the Craigslist thread ... I blame slammin

Edit: ugh it's going to annoy me ... please delete all the links

Seriously, people. Show some respect. This thread is about only one car, Simons.


If you want to start an Official Datsun roadster thread to fantasize about owning one, go for it.

What an abomination. That is seriously the ugliest one I've seen in recent history. Poor car.

Probably for the engine swap

Still terrible. Ruins the lines of the car.

On another note, one of these with a Wankel would be pretty trick....

....but I'm guessing this is the guy you're talking about....

They are less than two hours from me, lol, if anyone want's a set of eyes on one....

Those first two are pretty crusty, and pretty similar to what is often found out here. At least that first one is a 2 liter. Speaking of, there were only 15k 2 liters built, so not exactly common. Of those 15K there might be a few thousand left, and even fewer nice ones.

Yes, the last craigslist ad is indeed Craig Halstad, he has some cool stuff, but like he said, its not going to be given away. The 67.5 2000s are the rarest of the rare, and the most valuable of all the roadsters.

I got the front carb done this evening. For some reason it wasn't nearly as crusty and horrible as the other one.
I pulled the cover off and found part of the gasket MIA. That can't be helping anything.

The float bowl wasn't too bad.

The accelerator pump was a bit crusty, but wasn't anywhere near as bad as the other one.

The inner and outer venturi's were pretty cruddy. The ones on the left have been cleaned, the ones on the right... not so much.

carb-24 by 2mAn

The throats of the carbs looking nice and clean now.

carb-25 by 2mAn

This one is cleaning up quite nicely.

Venturies back in place.

A nice looking pair of carbs there.

One good thing about living on the east coast is that most of the older cars are shit. The reason this is good is because it is much less tempting to buy them all up.

I know the roadsters are rarer and tend to go for more than the Zs, but the first two there have got to be parts car.

I get the itch for a roadster every so often. Good thing I'm broke right now...

[slammin.e28]

There are a good number of them on the east coast. In fact, there is one guy in Virginia who has 20 of them or something. They are often listed on craigslist. He is trying to sell the whole lot. Has a couple prototypes as well.

Ohhhhh I love it!

Too bad those little things never stood a chance out here. We got more Brit stuff than the cool old Japanese cars that are better in every way, and all of it just turned to dust after 30 years.

I'm loving this thread heavily!
