1973 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
US $5,500.00

For sale is a California 73 240Z. This is not a show car but its a solid 20 footer driver car. The only rust I know of on the car is a small bubble under the paint against the hatch glass otherwise this is rust free. The battery box is even totally solid with no rust problems. There is a 77-78 louvered 280z hood on the car now but if you want a stock hood I've got one on a parts car, I'd be happy to swap them out for you. Unfortunately someone has put a sunroof in the car sometime before I got it but that can be easily fixed if you're not a fan of aftermarket sunroofs. The interior is rough but its all there just missing the carpet and of course the radio, of all the early z cars I've owned the radio has always been missing. The dash has 2 or 3 cracks in it of course but I have a cap I will send with the car to cover that up. All of the gauges work with the exception of the tach. Someone has installed a Crane xr700 electronic ignition module and I don't have any instructions for it and don't know how to make the tach work with it. The clock on the other hand does work, just runs a little slow. All lights and turn signals work as do the wipers so you can drive rain or shine, day or night with confidence. The engine is a F54 flat top shortblock from a 280zx with an E31 head which appears to have been rebuilt fairly recently. Fresh looking paint on the block with no rust anywhere and it doesn't smoke at all. It has early 3 screw roundtop SU's on it which also appear to have been rebuilt. The car starts up easy at any temperature and has never given me a single problem. This engine is backed up by the zx close ratio 5 speed which shifts very nice and smooth, it will however jump out of 5th gear sometimes when you're coasting down a hill off the gas. I daily drive the car and it gets good gas mileage and drives great. Steering is tight and tracks straight down the road. The Brakes are original but have braided stainless flexible hoses front and back and will tear your face off they stop so fast. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this z anywhere, you could fly in and drive it home if you want. Feel free to ask any questions and if you're local I'd be happy to show you the car in person before you buy just message me to set something up. |

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The 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.
First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
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.
