SPL311-22493  1968 DATSUN 1600.         back

 

This Roadster was purchased from an original owner by me in February 2006. The owner purchased it in 1968 when he was 22. He sold it to me when he was 60. He purchased it from Knox Motors in Alhambra, CA. October 30, 1968. It came with the original owners manual and service booklet filled out by the dealer. Car needs some body work. No rust in the usual places.

Engine blew in 1986. He said it was on the freeway and bang. It stopped. No dealer would work on it so he put it in his garage in hopes of fixing it. It never happened. It has been untouched  since 1986. It has 154,000 original miles.
