I called on the car and she also has a complete '69 for $2400! :) That's more
like it .
I'll keep the list posted.

Jeff,
You are right. Z parts are harder to get than US Classics. My son did
an early Chevy Nova and I think we still get catalogs from a dozen parts
houses.
Anyway, I hope you find a Datsun roadster to drive. A 1969 2000 would
be a blast. And there is a rebirth of a club up that way, DRONE ( Datsun
Roadster Owners of New England ). Buy the car, join the club, and come on
down to MidOhio's Vintage Grand Prix on June 26 & 27. Datsun clubs OROC,
DRONE, & MADROC will be there in force and I believe we will have
representation from BADROC this year also! And the two Z clubs of Ohio are
always there. Drive the roadster or the Z. You will be welcomed to park
with either the Ohio Roadster Owners Club or the Z Association of
Cleveland, Ohio. Both clubs will have corrals on the show grounds for the
weekend. Doesn't matter is the car is show quality or not. I can almost
assure you now your car will not be the best wreck there!
If you buy the '69, make sure you get a 1969 wiring diagram! It is
different than 1968 or 1970. And if you get a 2000, ask the PO when the
timing chains were last replaced and if the 5th gear was fixed ( or maybe
that is only on '67.5 & '68s? ). Don't worry, buy one and then let the
list know what you bought and the technical advise will be there!
Go buy one!

Both me and the car is in Mass. (a rust belt state). The car is a '69 2000.
It
is currently in primer.
When I say Z parts are hard to find, I compare it to the Triumph and even
American Classics. If you have ever owned either (especially American) you
can
find parts caalogs that you could literally build a car from. EVERYTHING!
including sheet metal
