1971 Datsun 240Z Series 1

On February 23rd, 1971 Fred Moore purchased this Datsun brand new. This is a true one owner car, that I purchased from Fred over a month ago. In 1988, it was the last time the Datsun was driven, Fred parked it, because it had a universal joint going out. It sat in his garage until a month ago, untouched.

I have not tried to start the car, it does turn over. this car is super original, and was re-painted in the early 80's Silver. it is originally Lime Green.

Body:
There is a little rust in the car, but floor pans and spare tire well seem to be perfect.
There is a dent in the driver door, I think this can be removed easily.
All glass is original Datsun glass.
In the late 70's, Fred's wife backed into the car, at that time, an orange fender and hood from a 1973 240Z was put on.

Interior:
The interior is in amazing original condition.
The driver seat shows all of the wear, and the carpet is a little faded. Besides that, the interior is pristine.
There are no cracks in the dash.
Car still has original AM radio.
Driver door panel is a little curled at the bottom.
The original jack as well as the original wheel chocks are behind the seat in original position.
The tire tools are in their proper bag.
I was told when you bought these cars, you got a quart of touch up paint, which there is a quart of paint in the car.

Tires/Wheels:
The original Series 1 hubcaps are on the car, although the rims that are on the car are not the originals. But, I do have the 4 original rims.
The tires are old and dry rotted.

Drive Train:
Under the hood, the car is completely original, and does turn over.
Transmission shifts
The car has very little brakes.
I have not tried to start car.

This car deserves a complete restoration.

The build date was December 1970.

This car has the vents on the rear deck lid, instead of behind the side windows.

This is a no reserve auction.

I can help load the car for the shipper, buyer is responsible for paying for shipping.

Call me with any questions at 859-621-0445.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
