Datsun has roots in the automotive history that dates back to 1911. It was not until 1958 that the United States was given the opportunity to share in those roots. In their first year, only 84 examples were offered for sale in the US. In their second year, they introduced the SPL211 Fairlady. The car proved to be exactly what the market was searching for, and production rose to 1290 Datsun's.
The Fairlady was redesigned in 1963 and aligned to compete with the popular British Roadsters. In 1965, the name was changed to the 1600 and the engine was replaced with an updated 1582cc four-cylinder engine. Another round of modifications were completed part way through 1967. These changes included upgraded seats and visors, revised grille, improved braking system, and wider wheels and wheel flares. Under the bonnet was a 2-liter engine capable of producing 135 horsepower. A five-speed manual gearbox was mated to the engine and sent that power to the rear wheels. These vehicles are known as the Datsun 2000 and gave the marque many SCCA racing championships during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
This silver Datsun 1967.5 1600/2000 Roadster was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions held in Amelia Island, Florida. It was offered without reserve and estimated to sell between $10,000 - $20,000. It is reported to be in excellent condition and a solid, reliable driver.
At auction, this was the first vehicle to cross the auction block. Bidding rose to $14,300 which was in the middle value for the estimated value.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2007
