1972 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
San Bernardino, California, United States
1972 Datsun 240z. Pictures coming soon. Running driving and registered. Up until recently it has been my daily driver I was driving it about 50 miles a day. Previous owner had engine rebuilt a little while before I got it 2 years ago. Recently exhaust fumes have been coming into the car, I believe because it needs a rear hatch seal. I had exhaust redone with a MagnaFlow glasspack, car is pretty loud and sounds great. Car is reliable but carbs should be tuned as it seems to run rich. Has header, matchbox electronic distributor, polished front cover, turbo valve cover and electric fan. Body is in good shape with some small damage here and there. I don't see any rust except for the paint is bubbling up below the hatch window. Paint isn't great, but I still get complements all the time. dash has a skin and is in good shape and I believe all the instruments other than the clock work. Seats have been recovered in burgundy cloth and are kind of dirty. the rest of the interior is black. all the weather stripping should be replaced. This is a fast fun car that definitely needs some work but can be a fun driver while you fix it up. There are little things that I'm sure I missed like the electric fan is just on a toggle switch and not thermostatically controlled. Feel free to call me at 9O93O74458 and I can give you all the details you want. Please contact me with any questions before bidding. Car is for sale on inland empire Craigslist and I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells. Thanks for looking and feel free to contact me with any questions or if you want to come and check it out.

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
