1969 Datsun 2000/1600

Description for Datsun Other 1969

I purchased this vehicle in 2001 from another private seller. The car is a hybrid between the 2000 and 1600 models. The VIN is for a 2000. but the body looks like a 1600 (and has 1600 identification on the back and side). I do not know if the engine is a 2000. or a 1600. It's been a long time. but my speculation is that the seller had a 2000 and a 1600 and put the best parts together. The car I am selling also comes with an additional engine (as pictured; I don't know the make of the engine or year– the prior seller gave it to me "for parts"); some sort of hardtop; and what appears to be some transmission part. I am not a car buff. but bought the car because it looks terrific and I thought it ran pretty well. Over the years. I have used it rarely – about four or five times a year. I've always had it garaged. and inspected once a year (last inspection 4/10/15). If you are a purist looking for a vintage model that's unadulterated. this is not the car for you. But for me it was fantastic and it turned a lot of heads when I puttered around town. believe me. Other than yearly inspections. I did not do much with the car other than put on Panasport wheels. The prior owner put in a radio and I think a revved up muffler. I was going to think about getting a convertible roof. but never got around to it. I think it had a rollbar when I got it but I lost it. The odometer is broken. so no realistic sense of mileage. I put in 100k as a placeholder. As mentioned in the summary. the exterior is in pretty good shape with just a couple of dings. The interior needs work. and this might be a fun hobby for someone who wants to continue the restoration. My guess is some things like heat. etc. don't work – I never checked. The car is sold "as is. where is". with no representations or warranties whatsoever. I will discuss payment logistics at the time of sale. Funds must clear before title is transferred.
