I will start with the bad new. I bought this car in Alabama, which is a non title state for a car this old. I have the bill of sale, but was not able to get a title in the state of Alabama. A title can be procured, in another state but there are a lot of hoops that need to be jumped through depending on the state you live in. If you live in a non title state, you can register it with just a bill of sale.  

I bought the car about 6 years ago, and the body was in excellent shape. I had it painted, and had plans to restore it. Shortly after having it painted I was stationed overseas, and I kept the car in a storage garage ever since. I am now stationed at Holloman AFB, and have been doing some work to get it back up and running. The car starts, and drives, but is in need of a pretty good tune up. The carb is freshly rebuilt. It has a new fuel pump, battery, starter, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and various other parts under the hood. The original carbs have been replaced by a holley 4-barell by one of the previous owners. I have stock carbs available for purchase as well. I have side turn signal lights that I purchased, and they just need to be installed. I am also including new black carpet, and black door panels. Both of which cost me at least $200. I have dumped a lot of money into this car, but my family situation isn't the same as it was before I decided to take a tour in Japan. My wife would be much happier if I wasn't throwing all our money into a car. 

As you can see by the pictures, the paint is pretty nice, but is not the best. It is in need of a good wet sanding and some touchup. The interior is pretty bare, but I am including the seats, carpet, and door panels. You shouldnt need much more that that. The dash is cracked all to hell and back, just like most other datsuns this age. This car would make a perfect project. It really only needs a tune up, and some bolt on parts. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the car. I have various other parts, such as a turnkey L26 motor, and a 5 speed tranny from a 280ZX that I am willing to sell seperately

I am also selling the car locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I can deliver anywhere within 600 miles at the rate of $.75 /mile. Any distance greater than that, please be prepared to pick it up yourself, or hire a private shipper. 

I require a non-refundable deposit via paypal of $500 within 24 hours of the auctions end. I will require the rest of the money either via paypal or cash at the time of pickup/delivery.

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.

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 previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
