Thanks to Rachel for sending this beauty from “13th NW between park and Monroe”.

Metropolis

I’ve always liked the early Japanese roadsters and this one is no exception. This particular example appears to be from the late 1960’s (possibly 1969) and is a Sports 2000 – also known as the Fairlady in many markets. They are surprisingly still affordable and offer a good introduction to the world of classic cars without having to spend a fortune or wonder if it will ever start. Prices for decent drivers in today’s market hover around the $10-15k range, although very nice ones might fetch nearer $25-$30k.
