For auction is my numbers matching 1967 Datsun 2000 Roadster (Also called the Fairlady in Japan). If you're reading this you know there was a very limited run of low windshield 2000's in 1967 and somewhere around 650 of them were built before Datsun had to go to the high windshield and padded dash in '68. According to the roadster registry, f the original 650 built, here are only 85 remaining.
Car #48 was restored by Joe Wulffenstein in the 90's when it received all-metal bodywork and new paint - then sold and moved to Texas where I purchased it. I completed the restoration of the car this year, ut I am not going to keep it as I have another '67 (Car #275) which I am restoring next and would like to fund.
