I'm in the process of converting my '70 1600 into a '67.5 2000. No wait, a
'70 2000, or was it a '69 2000? I'm all for original cars, but I've seen to
many 429 Cobras in one car show to believe it too much. What I'm really
making is going to be either a '69 Fairlady or a '70 Fairlady, with the
SR20DET engine, when I get around to buying one, so it will be a 2000, just
not an SRL-311. I suppose I'll have to call it a '70, since most of the
parts are coming from that car, I just like the thought of having a roadster
from the sixties instead of the seventies better - just my weird ideas
though. My point, and I don't really have one, is make, or buy, the car you
like. That's what I'm doing. ;<)

'70, no '67.5 2000, no '70 rusty frame sitting in the garage for the next
couple years

"what makes a '67.5 2000" is a good question. the body doesn't have a
number, it has an easily removable vin plate (four screws and you no longer
own a 67.5 2000? or now there's two, one for the frame and one for the
plate?) Other than the trim around the license plate, the 67.5 1600 and
2000 bodies are identical. Everything else can be swapped with no
modifications.
But what happens if you have a legitimate '67.5 2000 frame that is
destroyed? Can you snip off the VIN and glue it to the dashboard? If so,
can my '70 1600 be a '67.5 2000?
