Hi there, and welcome to Gordon's Garage, a site for fans of early Datsuns,
particularly the 1962-1970 Roadster. I got hooked on Datsuns back in about 1969
and was fortunate enough to buy one of the rare 1967 2000's in 1971. At the
time, I had no idea it was rare (only about 800 were made); it was simply a fun
little sports car with lots of power. Over the years I have come to appreciate
the significance of these cars.
When I first built this site, I tried to include a lot of 510 and Z-car
information, but there is simply too much to cover and other people are doing a
great job on those cars. I do provide links to some of the better (and more
central) 510 and Z Web sites, as well as other Datsun/Nissan sites. But a lot
of the technical and driving-related information found here will apply to all
cars and drivers.
Since the name of this site has led to some confusion, let me clarify one thing
right up front: This is NOT a commercial site - there is no classifieds area,
nor am I in the parts supply or car repair business. I chose this name because,
whenever my friends came over, we always seemed to wind up out in the garage,
so I decided to "invite" the rest of the world in, too. I do try to provide
information on some of the more arcane aspects of Datsuns, but I do not do it
as a business.
So come on in, look around and enjoy. Here is the quick view. For more
information on each area, roll over the navigation to your left (provided you
have IE).
