I purchased this vehicle in 1985 from Concord Datsun in Concord Ca., and used it as a daily driver for the next ~10 years. In the mid 1990's I moved to southern California and left my Z parked in my father's garage, where it still sits to this day. My father recently passed away and my family wants to remodel the garage before selling the house so the car has to go.
The Datsun was running when I last parked it, and it shouldn't be too hard to fire it up again, but I was moving the the Mojave desert and needed a car with AC. Also, I had another, newer vehicle so I left the Z behind. Somehow, the years went by and I've had other cars and never got around to bringing the car south with me. So there it is today, in the exact condition I parked it 20 years ago. The tires are flat of course, but I pumped them up a couple years back and rolled the car out to wash it. I was thinking I might sell it then, but I had to cut that trip short and the Datsun went back into the garage.

Condition:
< Please see the video link at the bottom >

* Sorry the car is so dusty - I was only at the location long enough to quickly spray it with water, but it will clean up much nicer. The white residue you might see in the pictures and video is old wax, not missing paint.
* In one picture, the car looks like a different color but it's not - it was just the lighting.
* While the odometer reads 62105, please be aware that it has wrapped at least once, probably twice.

All the parts are there - except maybe the horn button and the ball on the shifter. A few years before I parked it, I replaced the L24 short block with an L26 (one of those Japanese 30k deals). Later, I replaced the old flat-top carbs with the round-top. As I stated, the car was running when I parked it, but the heater/ac doesn't work and there is no stereo. The interior is in fair condition, all window glass in good shape. I purchased a bumper skirt but never got around to installing it, so you will get that with the vehicle if you want it. The rear louvers I found on a 260Z at a wrecking yard - as i recall, they're not mounted with screws.
The tires have good tread and will hold air long enough to roll the car, but after 20 years would be very unsafe to drive on of course. There is body rust here and there, but as far as I know the car was never in an accident. Well, except for the time I bumped into a car at a stop sign - I dented the nose and ended up buying a replacement hood at the wrecking yard.
I have the pink slip in hand, but never bothered to register the car as non-operational so I'm not sure of the ramifications of that, lol. I don't need the money and I'm not trying to rip anybody off. The car is what it is and I'll be fine with whatever it goes for.
Any questions, feel free to ask. If you live near Martinez, Ca., you can arrange to stop by to take a look at the car before bidding.

The following video was taken 6/21/2014 - Sorry about the junk in back - I'm not sure why the air cleaner is back there - but I was in a hurry to head back down south: --- >>>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cH4x2QjB18&feature=youtu.be

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.

Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Nissan'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 2014

The 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.
