"Datsun roadsters were introduced to the U.S. market in 1958, and 
remained on sale until 1971 in various trims and displacements. The 
Sports 1600 debuted here in 1965, and remained on sale even after the 
1968 introduction of its more powerful brother, the 2000. It?s not clear 
how many 1.6-liter roadsters Nissan imported over their five-year model 
run, but it?s a safe bet that time and the tinworm have sent many of 
them to their graves. This 1967 model is said to run well and is 
described as a rust free California car, now living in Wisconsin. It?s 
not issue-free, as the next owner will need to sort various inoperable 
gauges, but for $4,900, it?s an interesting intro into the hobby for 
foreign car fans."
