Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Solid car with minor rust that needs rebuild completed."

I'll start with the "good." This is a solid car that would be a perfect rebuild project. The body and floor pans are solid. The doors and rear quarter panels have been patched by previous owner. It does have some minor rust spots as all cars of this vintage do. The engine has been rebuilt and has never been fired. The 5 speed transmission has been rebuilt. I have slotted mag wheels and rear louvers. The front suspension has been rebuild with all new parts except for the springs. I have new struts for the rear suspension. This car has many new parts including seat covers, carpets and exhaust. I have given up on ever getting the time to complete this restoration project - my loss is your gain. Now for the "bad." This car is currently a basket case and can not be driven home. You will need to line up a trailer or tow truck to move this car. All the parts are there but your going to have to figure out where they all go. For the right person with time to spend on this project you could end up with a really nice vintage Z car.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.

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.
