Datsuns Are Driven! On Saturday I joined two roadster friends and we made a quick run up Hwy 9. We began our fun run 3-cars wide on Hwy 85 enjoying some early spring-like weather:
Once we got through downtown Saratoga we twisted our way up 9 just past Skyline to a vista point:
Here is a short video of me chasing Raul in his 1967.5 1600:
People love the roadsters. Folks were quick to snap pictures and ask questions.
A couple came up to us with a Polaroid they had just taken. These cars really stir the soul!
Raul pointed out how the cars show three levels of restoration. Mike’s gorgeous silver 1967.5 SPL is an unmodified factory stock example with whitewalls and OEM interior. Raul’s white 1967.5 SPL is a total sleeper with a 2L power plant/5-speed and upgraded suspension. Finally, my black 1967.5 SPL is considerably modified with a full SR drivetrain, suspension and custom interior.
Here are a few pictures from our last fun run:
Stay tuned to see where The Three Roadster-teers venture next!
