To all,

I have a 1969 Datsun 2000 which I purchased 9/14/1969 and want to restore.  I
had a front end collision in 1971 and have all new sheet metal parts (fenders,
hood, etc) which I acquired about 1972 but never put on the car.  The motor
has not been run since about 1974.  Car has been garaged all these years, so
it's not a "rust bucket," but lots of stuff has occurred just by sitting.  I
have some mechanical skills, but this project is beyond what I'll tackle by
myself.

Can you recommend a source which will do:  a) body restoration; b) mechanical
restoration; c) interior (soft) restoration?  Mechanical work would be broken
down into motor, transmission, hydraulics, etc.?

About the car---------

RE:  http://datsunroadster.com/INFO_PAGES/what_year.htm

My car is SRL311-12936.  According to the link above, serial numbers for 1969
are:  69 2000 SRL311-07001 to 13000 with the note:  No vins found between
SRL311 - 12944 and SRL311 - 13000.

>From this information, what are the chances that serial numbers 12937 to 12943
are still in existence?  Can I legitimately claim that I have the last Datsun
2000 built as a 1969 model - (and that it's also uniquely a one-owner car)?
