This 1968 Datsun 2000 Roadster is finished in silver over a black interior, and it is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Additional features include a black convertible soft top, chrome bumpers and trim, 14″ wheels with hubcaps, an AM radio, a heater, and a wooden shift knob. The seller acquired the car in 2018, and service since that time has reportedly included resealing the engine, rebuilding the transmission, and servicing the brake system.
The body is finished in silver with a replacement black convertible soft top and features chrome bumpers and trim. A grille badge is fitted up front, and the car is equipped with a hood scoop, a black boot cover, an additional reverse light, and a replaced license plate light.
Silver 14″ steel wheels with chrome hubcaps wear Michelin tires. KYB GR-2 shocks have been installed, and the front brake calipers, brake lines, and brake master cylinder were reportedly replaced under current ownership.
The interior is upholstered in black vinyl with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Additional equipment includes lap belts, a wooden shift knob, a clock, a glovebox, a heater, an ash tray, and a vertically-mounted Toshiba AM radio. The seller notes the windshield wipers are inoperative, and the driver’s seat thigh bolsters show discoloration.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 41k miles.
The 2.0-liter U20 inline-four is equipped with dual SU carburetors and a red air cleaner housing. The engine seals and gaskets along with the starter were reportedly replaced after the seller acquired the car.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox that is said to have been rebuilt during current ownership. The clutch slave cylinder was also reportedly replaced.
