Description for Datsun Other 1968

Very Cool Period Built Datsun 1600 Hot Rod Actual 1968 Datsun 1600 (frame and body numbers match) with a 2000 engine and transmission swap (and gauges). Car was built by a Roadster enthusiast in the 1980s who had many roadsters and built this one as the best of the bunch. (According to builder) 2 liter engine has head that has been ported. polished. cc'ed and has a mild camshaft. Engine has been bored with higher compression pistons. Compression (at 7000ft altitude) is 100-80-100-110. Car sat for several years. so I am hoping the low cylinder is just some sticky rings that will improve with use. Has dual sidedraft Weber 40DCOE carbs. header. performance exhaust. electronic ignition system. Has new plugs. cap. rotor. wires. Starts right up. runs strong. but could use carb cleaning most likely. 5 speed trans is great. but can crunch on 1-2 shift when cold. New synthetic fluid would likely solve. Also has roll bar. stainless braided brake hoses. Koni Shocks in rear. The flares on the rear were adapted from a 240Z So the builder could run 225/50R13 tires on the rear! Rockers have some rust. but the rest of the body is amazingly clean. Great chance to get an "Already Built" Datsun hot rod that's only going up in value. Intake and carbs are worth about $1500 by themselves! Have a set of 280Z alloy wheels I could include for the Buy it now or negotiated. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours. Happy to deliver for reasonable fee as well. or work with buyer's shipper. Pickup within 2 weeks unless prior arrangements made - I try to be easy to work with.
