Oh, boy, it's been a while since I saw one of those machines. You don't say
WHY you want to buy one, that is, if you have an opportunity to do so now or
if you just like the car. 

I do recall that the 2000 had plenty of power, but was short in the handling
department; it reportedly was plagued with too soft a ride and mediocre looks,
and was shoved off the streets by such formidable competition as the Triumph
TR4 and the mighty Austin-Healey 3000 Mk. III. 

Eventually, it was smothered from within by: you guessed it, the 240Z. If you're looking for something as a collector's car that will appreciate in value,
you're going to have a hellish time restoring it. Lots of parts are still
available for the British machines and all of the Z's, as are car clubs.
The Datsun has been pretty well forgotten, and even if you did restore it
somehow, it'll be a long time before it's worth much, since collector value
tends to be heavily determined by the desirability of the car in its own era.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but I personally think you're asking for a
lot of heartache.
