Datsun Fairlady Roadster

The Datsun Fairlady Roadster trades in a thin market where U.S. transactions are sparse. Our tracked sample captured four sales over the past 12 months, with the current median price holding at $17,875—a limited data set that reflects the scarcity of these cars in active commerce.

The appreciating classic designation reflects the model's established standing among Japanese sports car enthusiasts and collectors. With a collectibility score of 6 and moderate desirability, the Fairlady occupies a solid tier within the classic roadster segment, though it remains less sought after than its European or American contemporaries from the same era.

Liquidity constraints are the defining characteristic of this market. With only four tracked sales annually and no active listings currently on hand, buyers and sellers should expect extended search periods and limited opportunity to transact. Each sale represents a meaningful event in an otherwise quiet category.

The thin transaction volume limits our ability to establish reliable pricing momentum or near-term projections. Without sufficient recent sales data to measure directional movement or identify emerging condition trends, market participants should treat recent comparables as reference points rather than as indicators of an active, transparent market.
