This 1970 Datsun 2000 Fairlady Roadster with hardtop is a nice Texas rust free car. The car shows 86260 miles which we believe the miles are actual. This car had a frame off restoration by a local gentleman who also rebuilt the motor, a copy of his affidavit is shown, he took the body off and painted the frame and had a shop paint the body in the original color, Asian Blue code 570. All the work was done by a local shop and is very nice. This is an older restoration and is not concours quality. You can see the new OEM strapping material in between the body and frame. The strapping was hard to locate, and the work took almost a year. Many other items were replaced, refurbished, refinished, etc. The dash was replaced, as well as seat covers and carpets, with OEM products where available. This car runs extremely well With a 5 Speed Transmission and will cruse at 80 mph with lots of power to spare. The soft top is in very nice condition with no tears and the rare hard top comes with it as well. The car was driven in the spring and fall very little and was kept in a garage. We have a clear Texas Title in hand. 1970 2000 fairlady Roadster, Make no mistake about it, the Datsun roadsters (the 2000 being at the top of the class) were designed and developed to give the ambitious Japanese company a chance to compete in road races and leave an impact on the globe. Notice the single jack slot on each side. One crank lifts both wheels. What says vintage racing more than that? The 2000 completely tore up the C class right out of the gate. They got bounced to the D class frequently to make a fair fight and still fared very well, notching up wins against much more expensive cars like the Porsche 911. Not very many cars were fitted with front disc brakes in the 1960’s. How many had 5 speed transmissions? Exactly, very few. This car meant business and served well to establish Japanese engineering as a force to be regarded with respect. Imagine in retrospect how true this proved to be over the following decades. Called the Fairlady in the Japanese home market, the Datsun “Sports” 2000 and its contemporary 1600 are also credited with being the centerpiece of the nascent marketing efforts involving the Miss Fairlady showroom attendants.
