Restoration Thread - The Standefer Datsun 1200

[Steve Holmes]

Steve,
I agree totally with Paul and enjoy how you have weaved this all together and I know a future book must be in the works with all this material.
What year is your Datsun 1200 ? The last year they sold in the States was 1976.

Hi Ken, many thanks. I'm not totally sure what year the car is??? I think its a 1972 model. One of the log books has a hand-written note referring to "1972 Datsun 1200". I asked Ron but he can't remember.

BTW Ken, I know you're a Mini guy. The GT-4 race at the 1981 Runoffs also featured the very quick Minis of Doug Peterson and Jack Baumgardner. Peterson in the Fortech Mini qualified on pole but broke early. Baumgardner spent much of the race battling Ron in my Datsun.

These great photos are from the Gladiator Road Racing website, which features some amazing images from the 1981 Runoffs: http://www.gladiatorroadracing.ca/19...d-atlanta.html
