Up for bid is a 1977 Datsun 280z with 94,376 original miles on it. I bought this car about a year ago with the intentions of restoring it but i just have to many other projects so its time to let it go. First of all this car has zero rust underneath. No rust on the floorpans, frame rails etc. I am not sure if its original or not but it still has undercoating from front to rear. There are a few places where it is pealing off and you can see the shiny silver paint underneath. By the way silver was the original color. If you know anything about these cars you will know that it is a rare thing to find one without some sort of rot underneath. As for the body there were a few rusty spots but that has been cut out and replaced with the exception of the rear hatch lip. It has been cut out but still needs a patch welded in. The interior is in decent shape. It could use carpet as it is faded in spots but is still very usable. The drivers seat has a few small tears in the corner but not bad at all and the passenger seat is fine. The door panels and headliner look brand new with no issues at all. The center console is broke by the radio but all the pieces are there so it could be fixed. The dash does have a few small cracks. As for the engine it runs but needs a timing chain. When i first got the car I pulled the gas tank and cleaned it before trying to start it. Once re-installed the car would crank over but was dragging. I bought and installed a new starter and it helped but was still dragging a little. I was able to play with the timing and get it started but was running rough. I pulled the valve cover and was able to see there was a lot of slop in the timing chain. I guess it could just be a guide or tensioner but i would go ahead and replace the timing chain as well. I was able to drive it around the yard and the transmission went right into gear and the rearend felt good and tight. 1 wheel cylinder has been removed and rebuilt as it was leaking but still needs to be re-installed. The car has the factory mag wheels on it that are in good shape just need a good cleaning. The tires have good tread but have dry rot from sitting. The front and rear bumpers have been removed but i still have them if interested. It wouldnt take much to get this car on the road and you would have a very sharp cruiser. I have tried to give as much info as possible about this car but if you have any questions I havent answered feel free to ask. The buyer assumes all responsability for pick up and/or shipping.

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
