Damsel in Distress: 1964 Datsun SPL310 Fairlady

1960's Datsun Sports Roadsters have always caught my attention.  In the day, you could pick between numerous roadster offerings from the likes of MG, Triumph, Fiat, & Alfa Romeo, to name a few, but the Datsun was special.  Maybe it's because Datsuns were somewhat elusive and that gave it an air of mystery.  Regardless, the thought of touring in one through tree-lined roads in full fall foliage is tempting.  Find this 1964 Datsun SPL310 Fairlady for sale in Phoenix, AZ for $2,900 OBO via craigslist.
