I am the 3rd owner of this 1977 280z, 104,730 miles, I can't confirm as actual miles but I believe it to be true, the previous owner brought it out of California from original owner in 1981 with 57000 on the clock, and owned it 25 years/47000 miles. in that time he had the engine rebuilt (1988) and the body repainted (1989) as well as repair/replace several high wear items (recovered seats, rubber door seals, suspension components, radiator etc) I bought it in July of 06 with 104,400mi. and have only put 330 miles on it since. the car is rust free and in Beautiful condition. 1 repaint still looks great, has a deep shine, 1 tiny ding in drivers door (doesn't show in pictures) a few light scratches, no rust, however on the inside of drivers door jamb by hinge, paint is starting to bubble, see pic. the glass is clear and remarkably scratch/fog free, has the Nissan logo stamp on all windows still. both driver and pass crank up and down smoothly. the locks still lock and the key still operates the locks. all the doors, hatch and hood are perfectly aligned and shut and close effortlessly. in the trunk are the original space saver tire,  Jack, and the Datsun tire inflater canister everything in there looks like it did in 1977.


the interior looks like new, the seats were recovered many years ago but have no rips or holes, the dash is crack free with no fade,
door panels and head liner are excellent, very nice carpet on the floor and hatch area with no fade, car is always garaged.

the engine starts quick, idles smooth and pulls hard thru all 5 gears, no smoke, block is clean and dry, no sign of leaks
the Z drives excellent, I wasn't old enough to drive in 77 but I imagine this is it's as good now as it was than, you can take 
your hands off the steering wheel at 70 mph and she tracks perfectly straight, no vibrations or weird noises. the only mechanical issues are the A/C could use a recharge and both the temp gauge and the oil pressure  gauge work intermittently, meaning they both come on and read for a few minutes and than they will both stop reading. other than that, all the lights, wipers, heater etc work fine. the Dunlop tires are stock size and look like new, no sign of dry rot (still have the little studs on sides) but are probably 8 years old.

In the past few months I had the clutch assembly replaced and the flywheel resurfaced
replaced two fuel injectors
Battery an Brake light switch..have $1300 in receipts
will also include in the sale a set of 4 vintage American racing 5 slot mags (stock size from a 240z)
clear Mn. title in my name
inspections welcome and encouraged, feel free to email thru ebay with questions or call week nights before 8:00pm central time
at 651-239-6682.   car is located in zip code 55079  this is about 40 miles north of the twin cities (Minneapolis/St.Paul)

thanks for looking and good luck!

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque 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 back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.

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.

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those 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.
