1976 280z Sports Coupe

2^nd Owner – 83k Low Mileage – Matching Numbers

Lots of Pics - See Video on Desktop

Early this spring my neighbor Leonard stopped by my garage while I was working on my 240z to ask me if I was interested in purchasing his one owner 1976 280z because he wanted to make room in his garage. We walked over to check it. We got to talking about Z’s. Leonard purchased this 280z July 30^th of 1976 from Arcadia Datsun. Fast forward Leonard grew out of the Z and around 1992 Leonard now married with kids parked it in his garage just to forget about it but not completely with the occasional start up and short drives. With only 83K original miles this Z was a like virgin in many ways always serviced and never raced or any real modifications with the exception of the new parts I replaced to get it back on the road and a cool air dam that Leonard had installed. The areas I worked on were brakes, clutch, cooling system and fuel system( I will include the old parts). After a few days of tinkering this 280z came back to life not missing a beat. It idles great and runs strong and shifts great. This can be your daily driver. It pasted California emissions. I will like to past it on to someone that will cherish it as Leonard did. This is a California car with a clear title and absolutely NO rust. The Z is now under my name to obtain title. The body is super straight with zero accidents not even a fender bender. I had the paint refinished since the paint was a bit dull. I used all the original emblems and side markers. Below is a breakdown of the condition of the Z, but pictures will depict as well.

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.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When 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.
