Lot #635 - This 1968 Datsun 1600 roadster underwent a comprehensive restoration that was completed in 2013. Finished in its original color combination of silver exterior paint over a burgundy interior, it is powered by a 1600cc 4-cylinder engine backed by a 5-speed manual transmission and has 43,041 original miles. It is equipped with dual Hitachi carburetors, front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, independent front suspension with A-arm and coil springs, and live-axle rear suspension with semi-elliptical leaf springs. This roadster is in good mechanical condition and is show-ready with numerous accolades, including an AACA Senior First Place Award, and Best in Class and Best in Show at Roadsters at the Glen 2013. The restorer of the car had a hardback book made showing the comprehensive restoration process. The book is included with the car, along with a notebook containing many receipts, the car’s award plaques and the original owner’s manual.
