Sam let me guess that you were delivering the car for some small amount of money like $50-$100? I would ruin a whole week end delivering cars for the dealer I worked at up in Fresno Ca.just so I could drive a new car around. I remember having to get a new Supra (1984) to the bay area by 11:00am Saturday morning. It was so foggy that I could not see too the end of the hood but I was going so fast that icicles were developing on the underside of the rear wing. Yea those were the days. Bill get a list of trim parts that you are going to need and hit your local Nissan store ASAP because this stuff is becoming harder to find every day. Allot of people have fond memories of these cars and they are getting restored. Bruce thanks for the picture of the Scarab. If I remember right the car were built in San Jose Ca. and they used Traco engines.

Cool thread and great grab Bill!.
Love the family dealership thing also how you're your grandfather's namesake!.
Some of the greatest times of my life were when I worked at a Benz dealership too...summer weekends w/ new SL's, speed & girls are an impossible combination to beat...or forget!.

I had some fun w/ early Z-cars and 510's too also have been waiting patiently for a clean 510 Coupe to roll into my life again someday...B Sedan racer maybe?!
Check the front inside framerails Bill and get some Boeshield or something in there if all's Ok..
I repaired a few of them back in the day and rust seem to pick on those areas first..
