1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster, a vehicle that beautifully captures the essence of vintage motoring while boasting modern enhancements. This roadster was acquired by the seller in 2022 following a reported period of long-term storage, and it is powered by a lively 2.0-liter inline-four engine that pairs seamlessly with a five-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging and spirited driving experience that enthusiasts will appreciate. The body is finished in a striking red, a color that turns heads and draws admiration, and was repainted under previous ownership to restore its former glory. Adding to its charm, the car comes with a sleek black removable hardtop, making it a versatile choice for any weather condition.

This Datsun 2000 Roadster is equipped with several performance upgrades that set it apart from other vintage vehicles. The engine features dual Mikuni carburetors, an HEI distributor, and an aluminum radiator, enhancing both its performance and reliability. The vehicle has been maintained with care, and recent service work in 2023 included mounting replacement tires and replacing the spark plugs, wires, and rear braking components, ensuring it is ready for the road.

Externally, the classic roadster is adorned with chrome bumpers featuring overriders, dual side mirrors, and a fender-mounted antenna that adds to its vintage appeal. The 14” Western alloy wheels wear new 185/65 Doral SDL-Sport tires, providing a confident grip on the road. However, the vehicle does show some signs of its age, with visible flaws such as cracked body filler on the left door and the right rear quarter panel, along with some corrosion present on the bumpers and headlight trim. These imperfections, including a missing letter from the front Datsun badge and other minor blemishes, serve as reminders of the car’s rich history, making it an exciting restoration project for the right buyer.

The interior of the Datsun is equally captivating, featuring low-back bucket seats that are upholstered in black vinyl with worn cloth centers. Appointments include an analog clock, an all-weather left-side floor mat, lap belts for safety, and a vertically mounted push-button radio that harkens back to a simpler time. While the interior is in good condition, it does have its quirks: the center console lid is missing, and the door panel trim shows wear and peeling. Notably, the driver’s seat has a rip, adding to the character of this classic car.

With a five-digit odometer reading of 74k miles—approximately 500 of which were added during the current ownership—the Datsun is a vehicle that invites you to create new memories on the road. The tachometer and cable have been replaced, although the seller notes that the engine currently idles high, indicating that there is room for further tuning and customization to suit your driving style. The power is sent to the rear wheels via the five-speed manual transmission, and the clutch master cylinder was also replaced under current ownership, enhancing the vehicle's drivability.

Rust is present on the underside, as can be seen in the photos of the undercarriage, but this can be addressed by a dedicated enthusiast looking to restore this piece of automotive history. The seller is offering this remarkable roadster with a service manual and a bonded Texas title, making it a fantastic opportunity for collectors or anyone looking to own a piece of classic Japanese automotive engineering. This Datsun 2000 Roadster is more than just a car; it's an invitation to be part of a community of classic car lovers and the thrill of the open road. Serious inquiries are encouraged for this classic roadster that is ready to be appreciated and enjoyed once again.
