1977 Datsun 280z With Rare Automatic Transmisssion on 2040-cars
Lincolnton, North Carolina, United States
This rare and classic 280Z is definitely a major restoration project or you could part it out, however I'm hoping someone restores it. I purchased the 280Z in 1991 and drove it to work and back. I don't know how many previous owners there were, but the car is mostly all original. The mags have been changed and it has a glued in dash cover. It doesn't have any dents that I know of, but it has sustained some major rust damage. The 280Z was running in good condition when I parked it in the woods in 1996 and the automatic transmission was working fine, but sitting all these years untouched has left it with the brakes not working and not in running condition, also the ceiling cover has fallen. I haven't tried to start it, but I'm positive it will not start at this time. The car needs to be reworked before any starting is attempted.
After I have received the purchase price in full through Pay Pal, the buyer can make arrangements to pick the car up or arrange for shipping. It is the buyer's sole responsibility to arrange for and pay all costs to pick up the car. I will however meet and assist your shipper in loading the car after 3:30 pm weekdays or any mutually agreed to arrangement for the weekend. The buyer should pick the car up within a reasonable time, but I won't put you under a rush. I reserve the right to dispose of the car by any means I desire if the car has not been picked up after six months of the close of auction. I also reserve the right to re list the car for sale if it has not been payed for in full within 30 day of the close of auction. This car will be sold As Is with No Warranty and No Refund. Payment must be received and cleared in full before the car can be moved and the Title transferred to the new owner. The Mileage listed above is an estimate, I forgot to bring the key when I took pictures The 280Z is located in Lincolnton, North Carolina |

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody 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."
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those 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.
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
