<span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Exchange;color:#333333">Around 2005, I had a little bit of garage space and a little bit of money, and I decided to fill one with the other. I had seen a Datsun roadster from the ’60s and was surprised at how good-looking
 it was. I was also impressed that this lightweight car had an engine of about 135-horsepower and a five-speed transmission—pretty rare in the 1960s. I bought my car in 2006 locally from a private owner. It had an older, resprayed paint job, but the parts were
 all there and it was in decent shape. It is nimble on back roads and I started having fun with it right away.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Exchange;color:#333333">In 2010, I had the car repainted to its original silver-gray. I knew of the color because you could see the original paint in various parts of the car. And five years later, I had the engine
 rebuilt. So the car is pretty much stock original.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Exchange;color:#333333">At the time I bought mine, these cars went under the radar. Most from the 1960s did not survive, because people did not look at these cars as collectible, so when they got old, they disappeared.
 Only now, in part because they are so rare, are people starting to value these cars more. The prices are coming up. [According to Hagerty, the nation’s largest insurer of classic cars, a Datsun roadster from 1968 in excellent condition averages about $37,900.]<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 in California specifically for vintage Datsun roadsters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
