Although the belt to pull compressor was cut and delete from previous owner. May have to re-charge system. As an enthusiast, I have been driving without any A/C to improve HP and enjoyability. All controls and factory dash settings still there should buyer wish to restore it. The body: The overall condition of the exterior is quite nice, considering alot of these cars have mostly rusted or rotted away. This car is beautiful and shows well. The doors shut with a solid THUMP! The car is solid and does not show any signs of any accidents. Previous owners states no previous damage and it really shows. It did have a new fresh respray paint job and although it shows well and shines up nicely after detail, it is not concourse to my concerning eyes. Of course with all early Zs there are some under surface rust but on this vehicle it appears minimal. It has been garaged mainly and enjoyed and fair climate. This car gets alot of attention. It gets photographed alot at Vintage car events, such as Cars & Coffee and concourse d'elegance, etc.. It currently has some vintage late 60s early 70s race inspired removeable vinyl decals. I had it entered in some vintage classic car shows. It also wears some rare hard to find "432" emblems in honor of the successful early nissan factory team racers. This is a rare opportunity to own an appreciating entry level collector classic. Values keep climbing and projected to continue to climb. Please see what Hagerty has to say about early Datsun S30 Zs. History of the 1975-1978 Datsun 280ZDatsun’s brilliant 240Z was really the The real solution to emission laws came with the introduction of the fuel injected 280Z in 1975. The addition of a license-built Bosch L-Jetronic injection to the inline six-cylinder engine, plus a displacement increase of 200 cc, returned the Z car to roughly 1970 levels of performance. The 280Z would have performed even better had federal impact bumpers and additional equipment like All things considered, however, the 280Z is much closer to the original 240 than most people realize and it’s certainly a more sporting car than the 280ZX of 1979, with which it is often confused. Aside from the big bumpers, the coupe is a direct descendant of the 240Z, with little changed in the interior except for a fully integrated and effective air conditioner The earlier Any Z is a mechanically simple and robust car with good parts availability, and a lot of fun to drive. Bodies that are especially rust-prone are the Z cars Achilles heel, but high production numbers mean that there are still plenty of rust-free examples available. All of these factors help keep Datsun 280Z values in the affordable range, and make the car a great candidate for an entry-level collectible car. The car has a free and clear title. Buyer can inspect vehicle at anytime prior to purchase. Shipping is responsible by the buyer but I will help assist. Additional pics can be requested and provided. Also I may be able to make a video to serious inquirers. All offers will be considered. Car comes with hard to find factory set of early 240z wheel cap covers included in sale. The steel wheels were repainted in black and brand new set of chrome lug sets giving a refreshing new look. The factory bumpers were removed but can accompany the sell should buyer chose. please note: The windshield as well as all glass on vehicle are in excellent shape. All of the gauges including fuel, temperature, tachometer, speedometer, oil pressure, voltage meter, as well as even the clock all work and function normally. |

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
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.
