Hi everyone.
On behalf of my father I am trying to find a good home for the family
Roadster. It was bought new off the showroom floor by my grandfather in 67'.
He recently passed away and now I'm selling his baby and the complete extra
engine to go with it. I just want to make sure it goes to someone who
appreciates a Datsun Roadster the way he did. My internet searching has
turned up FresnoROC, BADROC and SoCalROC as the only places to find true
California Roadster Enthusiasts. I only wish he had been internet savvy
towards the end to appreciate what the Internet does for people like him
nowadays since he used to be in a Mailing Circle of Roadster owners in the
early eighties.
I've posted a thumbnail Picture collection of his car and the extra engine at
the following link: <A

Also, below is a written description of the car and engine as well.
Even if you are not interested in purchasing the car, please provide me with
feedback about how much it should be worth as a combined package. If you are
interested in starting a fantastic new Roadster restoration project, please
email me at: <A

to hear back from people.
