I just picked up my first pre 80s car. I got my hand on a nice datsun roadster 2000. I picked it up last night, let me know what you guys think.

I picked it up from a Nissan lover in Lagrange and Lets just say I paid under $5k for it. :)

Looks like it's in great shape, any rust, how does it run?

No rust, just some surface rust under the paint but ts a nice solid body. It ran when it was parked 11 years ago. only has 35k miles on it. I just got back from the parts store, im about to flush all the liquids and give her a full tune up. I can't wait to drive this car.

I will drop an SR in there maybe in a year or two. I want to enjoy it in its stock form for a while.

If it's running bring it out to the Mitty this weekend. There will likely be a couple of roadsters out there.

Cool little car. I'm usually all for motor swaps but with 35k original miles I'd almost feel bad pulling yhat motor.

Although I imagine the low mileage motor would sell for a pretty penny.

I was thinking about it, but I haven't got my tag and insurance yet. Plus I just want to go through everything one more time before I hit the road. What day is Mitty?

Thanks, I think i found another one with a bad motor so if I can get my hands on that one. I will do sr20det swap aiming for around 500hp. seeing that this car only weighs 2000lbs, that should be alot of fun to drive :)
