Suzie is destined to be a 'project car'. The 'dream plan' is to transplant a fwd Nissan V6 into a mid-engined position. Category: in my dreams, after retirement and winning the lottery.

This is Lucille after stripping her to a rolling chassis (all wires and lines removed - only thing left on her was enough to roll and steer her, windshield, and headliner). Painted OEM original color Pagoda (or Chinese) Red.

'Lucille' (a red-head and just as sassy) is a '67.5 RL411 SSS (for Super Sport Sedan) with R16 engine and manual trans. Lucille's quality is in being a sound platform for restoration, currently and seemingly permanently 'in process'. She's the exact duplicate of the car I bought new in March of 1968 from Perris Datsun (California).

'Grace' is my first re-entry into my "Early Datsun" craziness. She's a '67 RL411 1600 (R16 engine, same as the SPL311 roadster), automatic trans. A San Francisco car, she is a pretty fine example and presents well (when cleaned up) except for terminal rust in the 'Pandora's Box' (rear roofline) which perforated the skin and allowed water to accumulate over the years and rust out the bottom of the trunk as well... just barely perforating there as well.
