[Roadsters] Datsun-roadsters Digest, Vol 7, Issue 154

[Steve Ehlers]

  This car has been on eBay in the recent past and I thought it sold 
.Back then I thought it was being sold in Eastern States somewhere like 
around Georgia ..... Now in Florida ,and titled as such ... Hum....
  Surely was at least a 68 ,and possibly when sold was a late car sold 
in the end of 67 calender year as a early model. I haven't heard of  
that before but I guess possible ,unless the seller has a Frankenstein 
car made up with a title and Repro Vin tag... I would want to see the 
frame number to confirm validity of what I was buying not with standing 
the possibility of a shady past . Possibly it was fortunate to be 
painted in an Iconic Famous Datsun Racer's Livery ..... "Fitzy" was one 
of the best !  I like the idea ,since I first saw the paint peeling idea 
on Racing Airplanes .....
  Sometimes the Dealers back then would sell a car as the next year car 
.I had a '68 2000  that was titled as a 69 . In Texas if the car was 
built close enough to the year cut off date ,i.e., 8th month, and you 
can prove the Vin number to the theft division of the DMV ,you can get 
your registration corrected on a new title . Has been done on many 1970 
Datsun Z cars sold as 71's. I have heard of at least one early car sold 
as '70 model that it was and re-registered as a 1969 240 Z .
