Heck, I miss my first Datsun - a 1967 RL411 4-speed sedan, $650 from
the original owner, 72k miles in 1986 when I bought it (about 95k when
I sold it two years later).  I even know where it is - out in a field
in Rio Linda, CA, with about 10 other RL411's - but the owner is a
strange old man who won't sell any of it.  The Nissan dealership keeps
asking me if he's alive because he doesn't show up to buy parts in bulk
anymore, and I honestly don't know.
