This Datsun 240-Z is a stunning automobile with a mechanical refresh all Datsun / Nissan  The attention to detail in the updating of this Datsun is impeccable.  Video clips of the car starting, idling, and running are available upon request.  The previous owner was a certifiable pro in Datsun cars and made this 240-Z the most talked about car I ever owned.  When parking it anywhere it is an instant conversation piece.  I did put in a new radio with MP3 jack to modernize the music to enjoy the car even a little more.  The engine sounds throaty, the gears shift effortlessly, and the drive is one of the most fun you will ever experience.  Brakes are excellent.  The engine looks like a show piece and I have videos available of it for those interested.  Simply immaculate and very easy to care for.   This Datsun is either for the collector of vintage sports cars or a person like me who simply has enjoyed every minute of waxing it, caring for it, and driving it only in the perfect weather conditions.  I suspect it has not seen rain in many years.  A joy to own and experience.  Selling simply because kids now in the college window and practicalities kicking in.  All will be sad to see this car go.  It is a gem that will make anyone feel like they owned the Japanese version of an "exotic," with the 240-Z soon to be a legend as the first Japanese sports car to be sold in the US.  Anyone local welcome to come see and drive it.  I am a former US Army officer and have taken great care of this car the for Z enthusiast.


If you wish to have more pictures I have many more of the engine, interior, windows, close ups of everything, etc.  Serious inquiries only please.  Thanks, Drew

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:

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.

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
