1982 Datsun 280ZX Absolutely in Immaculate condition, This vehicle was the pride and joy of an Air Force Colonel for 29 years for most of its life and due to health reasons it was sold to me. It was originally purchased by him 1984 and used as a driver to the base for many years and has been in a garage the entire 29 years. It has been meticulously maintained and well cared for and it shows. Since purchasing this vehicle I have gone through all systems to insure that everything is in working order. I have been a Z enthusiast all of my life and absolutely love this car. But due to a job situation I do need to find a new home for it.
The car: 90% all original paint Silver in excellent Condition, The front and rear bumpers and roof were repainted with a urethane base coat clearcoat to achieve as close as possible to original finish. Of course there are a few stone chips and very minor scratches that have been professionally touched up. All dings were removed with paintless dent removal and I would consider it a 9 1/2 out of 10 for a 31 year old car. Original pinstripes, wheels, Clean car fax with no body damage ever!!!! Car runs and drives like the day it drove off the lot. Shifts well, nice and tight, sounds new, COLD A/C and all systems are in working order. I have not had the opportunity to see if the cassette works as I do not have a cassette. Brakes on Front are new and rear is 70% New fuel lines, plugs and NGK plug wires, Cap and rotor. Passed recent smog with flying colors and has never been molested or abused in any way!!!! This is a very rare find to see a car in this condition!!! I bought this for a beautiful addition to my collection, but the wife got pissed and says it goes or she goes.... It was a tough choice to make! The interior has new aftermarket seat covers installed from Z motorsport, as close to original as possible. Actually more attractive than original. It has a dash cove there were a few cracks in the original dash pretty typical for Z cars. All door panels, carpet siwtches ,plastic and interior panels are in excellent condition. It truly looks and smells like New! Wheels are in excellent condition with no curb rash and the tires and battery are brand New. You will not be disappointed in any way! This is a gorgeous original unmolested Zcar!!!! This is a Blue Plate California Car and has spent its entire life in Southern California!!!! Feel free to call with any questions John 970-331-2555 |

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
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.
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.
