Laurie,
I was told by two different previous owners. That removing all identifying
Datsun badging was common practice among street racers. The previous
owner of the 68' I had ;took of all the Datsun badging ,side chome and
anything else that would identify it as a roadster. He told me when they
went to Mulholland Drive (which is above Los Angeles) to race they thought
theywere MG's. He stated that they were much faster in the corners then almost
every American muscle car there. Including the Corvette.
Both cars that I bought while I was in California had this done to it.
