Up for auction is my 1972 Datsun 240Z. The car is in good condition, it runs, drives shifts well, and stops. I used it as a daily driver for a year until I purchased a new car in December 2013. Now it's a weekend car and garage kept. All bushings on the front suspension have been replaced along with the motor and transmission mounts. Several gaskets, brakes hoses, brake booster, etc. (installed a new larger 1973 booster for better braking still have the old 72 core) I replaced the oil pan gasket too but don't think it seated well it can be reinstalled it's good quality rubber coated, I purchased a set of new ball joints but have not installed them because they were not really needed. I drove in the hot Arizona summer (105 -110 degrees) in heavy traffic and the car does not overheat. I've done quite a bit to the car since purchased. The original radio and antennae are still installed both work (I installed a modern speaker in place of the paper one and still have the original) the air conditioning needs to be reinstalled (needs new pressure hoses ). I have the warranty card from the original owner. This car originally had a white interior with white vinyl top. The top was removed prior to my purchasing. I changed the interior due to dryness and sun damage. A few interior items are still needed such as a glove box liner,dash or dash cap, headliner,and weather strip kit. The body on the car is in great shape but does have a couple of minor flaws, and the windshield has a crack starting from a rock chip. The previous owner let the car sit in the desert sun water was able to leak in to the driver side floor so a small rust hole is at the drain plug area. There is a small rust spot on the passenger fender, and the lip of the rear passenger wheel trim. (see pictures) The under carriage is solid there is absolutely no rust or damage in any of the usual structure areas. I didn't paint the car because I wanted to keep it original.. (no bondo, no wrecks) This is a great car and will be even better once fully restored. Thank you for viewing my auction and happy bidding! Relisted do to nonpaying bidder please bid only if you are going to buy. Bidders with no feed back must email me prior to bidding or bid will be cancelled. On Jul-06-14 at 19:12:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Also included is a new Hot Start Electronic ignition conversion kit. (new points, condenser, spark plugs, plug wires, distributor, and cap are already installed) |

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A 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.
Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
