   Thank you for looking at my auction for our 1975 Datsun 280Z. This was a father and son project that we've lost interest in. Please read the entire description before bidding. We bought the car locally with a bad motor and installed the current drivetrain last year. The car has a GM 5.3 LS FUEL INJECTED V-8 with a turbo 350 automatic. We used an auto because we planned on using a 76mm turbo (never installed) and it was a factory auto car. We spent a ton of  $$$ on the car and did not cut any corners when building. Here is a rundown of the basics

   We replaced the drivers side floor and a few small areas around the drain plugs on the passenger side and 2 small patches on the bottom of the front fenders( very common areas). Under the battery is very nice. It has the original frame rails that are very nice as is the rest of the car. It was/is a very solid South Carolina car. It has mostly original paint BUT IT NEEDS PAINT!!!  My son let a buddy drive it and he jumped on it in 2nd gear blew the tires off (spinning)and lost control taking out a few small trees and dented the drivers side fender and door---no other damage and very minor for any body shop to repair. The car drives great, very smooth, handles great and is very streetable/dependable. Car has been 7.36 @ 94 mph  in the 1/8th as it sits with 205/70 r14 tires. We wanted the car to be a "sleeper".
THE REASON FOR SELLING AND THE LOW RESERVE IS DUE TO A BOTTOM END NOISE/KNOCK IT WILL CRANK AND DRIVE--- AS SOON AS IT STARTED MAKING THE NOISE WE SHUT IT DOWN AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. GREAT CHANCE TO THROW IN A JUNKYARD 5.3 OR 6.0 AND GO HAVE FUN OR ??? OUR LOSS IS YOUR GAIN!!! WE HAVE SPENT  OVER 10k ON THE CAR AND YOU COULD NOT BEGIN TO BUILD IT FOR WHAT OUR RESERVE IS.
  
 We reserve the right to end the listing at any time due to local sale. questions or concerns just call me @ 864-483-7619 thanks and good luck

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, 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.

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."

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan'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.
