[Roadsters] Another Roadster on Craigslist

[Stephen Holst]

HI:
All good comments.
The year disparity might stem from the general practices of Datsun and
California registration back in the day:
California registered vehicles according to the year sold.  My !968 was
registered as a 1969 because I bought it in 1969.  Most Fairladys were
imported for the California market so the general year disparity could stem
from registration practices.  Nissan (Datsun) was not consistent on how cars
were equipped.  Some had marker lights and some did not (Datsun was very
concerned on the new (DOT) rules) the padded dash after 67 1/2 satin
headlight surrounds and marker lights were all tied into the problem. They
were all equipped by boat load.  I have always thought that that we should
call them ³from the ³aki Maru² arrival Long Beach November 1970².
I would cut the owner some slack in the year designation but
The paint is horrible
Engine compartment is bad (a couple of hours cleanup could increase the
value by 1000
15,500  is clearly too much.
How long has the rust prone car been in a beach community in Alabama (get
one from Calif. Or Arizona).
His rare padded dash is one of the plastic overlays on the same cracked dash
we all have.
Still nice to see
Steve
