Datsun Other (1970)

Price: US $6,200.00

Description:

1970 Datsun roadster. Good looking good driving car. Not a showroom car but about half way restored. We've replaced the floorboards, carpet, alternator, clutch master and slave, battery, and a number of other parts under the hood (cap, rotor, plugs, wires, hoses, etc.) We rebuilt the brake master & replaced the rear calipers. We bought rebuild kits for the front calipers but we didn't need them so those will come with the car for you to use down the road. The gas tank was drained and flushed. The car hadn't run in about 2 years when we picked it up so we drained the oil, sprayed molly lube in through the oil drain hole, and the spark plug sockets and turned it over by hand a lot before refilling the oil (replacing the filter of course) and idling the engine for 15 to 20 minutes at a time each day for a week then drove it lightly for 100 miles before doing a oil change again (I've found that this works to clear the sludge out of a disused engine without causing damage to bearings and rings). Soft top is in fair condition there are a couple of tears in it which are not evident in the pictures. We sanded the car down to bare metal and ground out any rust, primed with 2 coats of K2 primer and painted with a single stage urethane (original color Sora Blue). The odometer reads 20, 000 miles but I'm assuming it's turned over once making it 120, 000 miles. It is running and registered and fun to drive. I've been driving it to work every day since we got it back on the road and it's been a fun and reliable commuter. Please note: as stated in my shipping & payment instructions, I require a $2000 non-refundable down payment within 24 hours of close of auction and the remainder must be payed in cash and in person within 14 days of close of auction. If you intend to pay by some other means please contact me prior to bidding and do not bid unless we have agreed on another arrangement. likewise if you are an international bidder please contact me prior to bidding. Thanks and happy bidding.

Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
“It is about half way restored. the body still has dings and dents and the paint while it looks good from a distance is a single stage home job (not rattle can, but not professional, a little orange peel texture) it was intended only to keep the rust at bay until I could afford to have the body work done to smooth out the dings and dents and make it perfect. The center console and dash have some cracks and need new covers. The drivers seat is torn. the backup lights aren't working and the horn only works intermittently.”
