There are a few craftsmen known for quality restorations on Datsun
roadsters. Les Cannady of Classic Datsun Motorsports in Vista, CA, is one
of the best. Here is his website:

BTW, I have the same year roadster, but purchased it a few years later than
you did in 1971. Enjoy your restoration.

To all,
I have a 1969 Datsun 2000 which I purchased 9/14/1969 and want to restore.
I
had a front end collision in 1971 and have all new sheet metal parts
(fenders,
hood, etc) which I acquired about 1972 but never put on the car. The motor
has not been run since about 1974. Car has been garaged all these years, so
it's not a "rust bucket," but lots of stuff has occurred just by sitting. I
have some mechanical skills, but this project is beyond what I'll tackle by
myself.
Can you recommend a source which will do: a) body restoration; b)
mechanical
restoration; c) interior (soft) restoration? Mechanical work would be
broken
down into motor, transmission, hydraulics, etc.?
About the car---------
RE: http://datsunroadster.com/INFO_PAGES/what_year.htm
My car is SRL311-12936. According to the link above, serial numbers for
1969
are: 69 2000 SRL311-07001 to 13000 with the note: No vins found between
SRL311 - 12944 and SRL311 - 13000.
>From this information, what are the chances that serial numbers 12937 to
12943
are still in existence? Can I legitimately claim that I have the last
Datsun
2000 built as a 1969 model - (and that it's also uniquely a one-owner car)?
