1975 Datsun 280z The Toy Barn is thrilled to offer this beautiful 1975 Datsun 280z, in excellent condition, and ready for it's new owner! This Z-car is great, and certainly a trip down memory lane. It was a recent trade-in here at our store, from a true Z enthusiast that traded this and a 1983 for the finest '83 Turbo on the planet. Interestingly enough, when I saw this car in person, I was very pleased; this car is a fantastic car to own and drive. The paint and body were redone, the interior was redone and looks excellent, the car runs, drives, and feels awesome out on the road, and from top to bottom the car looks great. History: This Z started it's life delivered at a Datsun dealership in Richmond, Va in August of 1975. We have a full file of receipts and history, starting with the process of parts accumulation and restoration in 2004-2006, up through 2013 when several thousand dollars were spent on mechanical updates and upgrades. In 2005 (at about 110k miles), the car underwent the largest part of the physical restoration process, where it was sent to Morris Body and paint in Georgia and stripped, repainted, and refinished from top to bottom, including glass, seals, emblems, trim, rust repair, etc. (Over $5000 in body shop receipts). Aside from body work, the car also had a complete interior restoration including seats, door panels, dash, carpet, handles, trim, etc. Over all, this 280z was restored over the 2004-2006 time period, and then driven seldomly until purchased in 2008 by the gentleman who traded it to us. From 2010 to 2013, over $5000 was spent making this car's mechanics in line with it's appearance. The brakes were completely redone, as well as a valve adjustment, fuel pump and fuel sytem overhaul (lines, filter, etc), battery, and MUCH more. Bottom line: from 2004 to 2013, the car was driven only 4k miles or so, with $13k+ in parts and labor restoration. Otherwise it was stored as a seldom-driven collectible in a climate controlled environment. Babied, garage kept, and seldom driven. It still looks and runs excellent! Condition: This is 280z is finished in Gold Metallic exterior, over Ivory vinyl interior.The paint looks very nice, and is fairly new, with about 4k miles of time on the road, though it's about 9 years old. I'd be happy to walk this car and give you further details, and more information about the paint and body. I've provided several pictures, including the underside of this car as well. The interior is a solid 8.5 out of 10, and is all redone and excellent. The seats are newly re-wrapped, the dash is is new, the carpet is new, the trim is new, and it looks fantastic. From top to bottom, everything you see is very clean. The motor runs strong, the transmission feels great, the suspension is nice and tight. As previously mentioned, over $5k was spent in the last 300 miles making the car ready for the street. We also serviced the car here at our Performance Center, and it's ready for the road. I have a full folder of maintenance and receipts, as well as the owner's booklets, included with the sale. Check out the pictures below, be sure and allow time for them to load!

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque 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 back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
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.
Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
