Agreed, but by the same token, keeping them original or making
them original looking is becoming more difficult as parts
sources dry up and parts cars deteriorate further. Just having
attended the Multi-State classic in Williams Arizona last
weekend, it was nice to see original cars or those that were as
close as possible. But it was equally nice to see cars with
modifications necessary to keep them on the road. My wife's car
falls in that latter category.

HI:<br>
All good comments.<br>
The year disparity might stem from the general
practices of Datsun and California registration back
in the day:<br>
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 “from the “aki Maru” arrival
Long Beach November 1970”.<br>
I would cut the owner some slack in the year
designation but<br>
The paint is horrible<br>
Engine compartment is bad (a couple of hours cleanup
could increase the value by 1000<br>
15,500 is clearly too much.<br>
How long has the rust prone car been in a beach
community in Alabama (get one from Calif. Or Arizona).<br>
His rare padded dash is one of the plastic overlays on
the same cracked dash we all have.<br>
Still nice to see<br>
Steve<br>
