A "BIG Thanks !" to all of you who emailed me about winning "Show Off of the Week". It's very gratifying to recieve so many positive comments about my Datsun roadster. I appreciate the attention for my car as well as for ALL of the Datsun roadster owners out there. And a "BIG" Thank You ! ! to the person(s) that nominated my roadster for "Show Off of the Week". Enjoy the Ride!
And now........... on with the show!
My first Datsun Roadster (Thundermouse) was a red 1967.5 1600 purchased in Canton, Ohio from the Datsun Dealer in 1968. From 1969 to 1970 I was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada where I autocrossed my roadster with the Las Vegas Region SCCA club. I raced him in "F" production and did fairly well. I sold the roadster in 1972 when I was reassigned to Germany. Bought a Datsun 1200 fastback and took it to Germany for a four year tour (Great Car!).
Fast forward to November 2000 when Thundermouse II was found and imported from Alberta, Canada and shipped to Montgomery, Alabama.
