 Welcome to the group. Interesting collections of cars, philosophies,
attitudes, hot-buttons
 and color preferences. You aren't planning on getting a RED one by any
chance?

 You will end up receiving advice from almost every corner of the planet.
When you do obtain
 a vehicle for driving, take pictures. Especially if you plan on doing a
frame off restoration.
 FYI- A front-end re-do makes you look like a coal miner. If you are
married, PLEASE cleanup
 somewhat before you come in. DO NOT, under any circumstances, use the "GOOD
TOWELS" to dry off
 with. That will have you in the doghouse or sleeping on the couch for at
least one night.

 Good Luck with your search and acquisition

Hi everyone,

My name is Thomas Wolfe and I'm in Austin, Texas.  While I
do not yet own a Datsun Roadster, I have decided that in the
near future I want to get one.  I used to own an '89 Isuzu
IMark (don't laugh, it was highly customized and I was
published in Sport Compact Car with it) and found the Isuzu
Mail List group to have valueable information, so when I
found that there was one for the Datsun Roadsters, I decided
to join up.  I have a couple of questions for anyone:

Is there a place to read the archives of this mail list?
In anyone/everyone's opinion, which year was the best for
this roadster?
Are these cars reliable daily drivers or should they be
relegated to occaisional use only?
How would you rate parts availablility?
Does Nissan sell any parts for them any more?
What is the average price that I'd expect to pay for a '67?
That's the one I'm most interested in.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Thom
