This Datsun Z is the last year of the first series Z cars and considered by many to be the best. It is the second year of the 170 HP engine and five speed transmission. I have installed a new battery, new paint, oil and filter change, new ignition switch, new fuel filter, Toyo tires are like new at about 95%, brakes and clutch are excellent as well as the transmission shifting without any noises in any gears. The engine runs very strong with no fluid leaks at all. I changed out the troublesome fuse links for a new fuse block as seen in the photos. The interior is very nice with a small hole in carpet just under drivers feet but covered with floor mat. The seats are worn as expected but very presentable. The steering wheel has a cover that has been on there for at least the last ten years and I have no idea how it looks under neath. The dash has been refurbished and is without cracking. All gauges, lights etc. work properly. The body and frame as rust free with the exception of some minor light surface rust. There were a few spots but they were fixed prior to painting. This has been a west coast car for 11 years that I know of and originally came up here from California. Fly in to Portland and I'll pick you up so that you can drive it home.

Please contact me with any questions or requests for additional photos. I am happy to answer them.

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.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
