1967 Datsun SRL311 ROADSTER Description

1967 1/2 Datsun 2000 Dual Purpose Roadster.
This beautiful extensively documented Datsun Roadster is usable for Street or Track events. It is ready for a new owner to enjoy onthe street or to further the cars rich racing history.
The car has been prepared for both street and track use utilizing a pump gas tune engine that can still deliver performance on thetrack. The cosmetic preparation is in line with the vintage racing history in mind as it was entered in the most recent MontereyReUnion Races. The car was one of less than ten Datsun's selected to represent Nissan's racing heritage for The Event atQuail Lodge in 2018. The Quail event was a unique street drive escorted by the CHP from Laguna Seca to the Carmel Valley venuefor display, and back.
The car has a clean California Title and Registration. The car has been driven about 300 miles on the street to sort out any issuessince the build and drives solid and reliable. The car is licensed and registered but is currently in Non Op status for street.
This car has significant racing provenance in Southern California with a race history believed to be the winningest Datsun. This isbased on interviews with prior owners and additional research available. The car has attended the SCCA Runoffs multiple times inboth 1600 and 2000 configuration. Not one, but two of the early owner/drivers were paid by Nissan to race the car. Dick Robertswho ran Nissan Competition also raced the car.
The car started as a 1600 Roadster, but with years of hard racing and modifications a decision was made to restore the car to periodcorrect race preparation. A 1967 2000 Roadster was used as a platform for the restoration. The body was removed from the frame,and both were Rotisserie restored including replacing some of the floor and performing any repairs needed on frame and body.
The restoration included using as many original parts as practical and component weight was given consideration throughout theassembly. The car retains few stock or original parts as it was modified in period. The parts list from the current build includesNissan comp springs, Carerra Racing Shocks, Racing alignment including front camber adjustment, New exhaust from header back.custom steering wheel, stainless steel braided brake and clutch lines, Airhart Magnesium master cylinder, tie down loops on rearspring mounts for towing, bucket racing seat. Leather was used for door stops, inner door handles, trunk latch, and hand laced wiringharness cover. The rear end ratio is 3.9 with an open differential matched to a four speed transmission for reduced weight.
A considerable effort was made to track down and interview prior owners all the way back to 1968, which will be included with thesale. The car comes with an SCCA log book and has attended the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion twice and was only theseventh Japanese car ever accepted to this prestigious event.
The Engine was purchased as a low hour rebuild from a car built for auto cross. Then it was disassembled, inspected, the boreswere honed, valves lapped, a hotter cam installed, and then painted. The pistons and rods appeared to be lightened and balanced.The SU style carbs were disassembled, cleaned and inspected. The ignition was updated to an optical trigger high energy ignition.The compression appeared to be standard, and the car runs on premium gas. The engine has run one race at Laguna seca where itfinished 7th.
Issues with the car: There is an oil leak at the back of the motor. I put cardboard down and get some oil, but the oil level has notmoved. The chrome parts have surface pitting, tail lights faded and cracked. Some paint wrinkle near master cylinder, but have notfound a leak, so may be a spill from lid seal or filling. Both doors appear to have been replaced as one has some welding aroundinside door latch handle, and passenger side has uneven gap.
The car comes with many spare street parts I consider to be in rough condition, but are included in the sale if you want the parts.Parts included are windshield, note it is cracked and frame chrome is rusty and pitted, hardtop, soft top, seats, spare Radiator, datecode seat belt, many misc trim pieces, and some wiring.
