The glass is all original, but was etched in the 80's as it was commonplace to do so. I think it adds to it's originality and authenticates it's era."

First time ever on the market, this stunning 280ZX has only 39,000 original documented miles, and was purchased out of a private Z collection. That's correct, only 39,000 original miles!!!!! A true survivor, almost completely original...This Z is a real car inside and out, and is investment quality in every aspect. Just serviced at a Nissan dealership, she is mechanically sound, fires right up and purrs like a kitten. Fresh Yokohama tires, new battery, and correct oil was oil this incredible throwback needed to make it road ready. Documented with the original history of maintenance and repair orders from the dealer, the original windowsticker, a sales and purchase agreement from 1999, original books and keys, a certified appraisal back in 2008 and previous registrations. I drove this car personally, and it is an absolute joy to drive!!  Just as tight as a 39,000 original well kept car should be~~~ Or maybe you want to continue to store her for a future Barrett Jackson sale, it's entirely up to you!  This is a pretty loaded car, with an original MSRP of $12457 back in 79!! Optioned up with factory air conditioning, two tone paint, aluminum wheel option, luxury package option, pushbutton am/fm stereo, power windows, power steering, cruise control, rear wiper washer, cloth upholstery, raised letter radials, computer sensor system, power mirrors, door map pockets, and yes, it is a stick!  The original brown on the two tone paint option was beginning to show it's age, so it was professionally painted in 2010 to give it back its showroom luster. The rest of the paint is all original and in excellent condition to match the new paint.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or call me, I will be happy to talk with you at 860-601-0236.  Thanks for your interest, and good luck! Again, if you are a Z lover or collector, I reiterate that this particular car has never been on the market before.  It has not seen the auction circuit, has not been listed on the internet sites or forums. Don't miss it!

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
