This 240Z has been in our family since the very early 70's and was actually purchased from a family friend. It was produced in April of 1970 so is an early 1970 Z with the hatch vents not seen in later 1970 production. It is completely original except for the hood and new front end paint. It had minor hood damage so we had it replaced. The rims have been on it since the early 70's as well but we put new tires on it recently. Gas tank was boiled and repainted, new clutch and brake master cylinders, new brake shoes on rear, new pads on front. Completely rebuilt front calipers and rear wheel cylinders. Front discs and back hubs were turned. Also put new struts on it all around. Note that the original plastic is still on the shoulder belts (seen in rear hatch photo). There is some damage to body around the hinge of the hatch but it does not impair the hatch operation at all. We did put a new hatch hydraulic on in 2008. This car sat in storage from about 1980 to 2007 and was "pickled" with Marvel Mystery oil during that time. We had it tuned up so she runs very well, a little rich, but loves to be out on the open road. Quite fun to drive. The fading of the back carpet just happened last summer when we had it outside for about a month. Otherwise she has always been garaged. No rust. The switch cover on the console is off right now as we are going to replace the switch for the rear window defroster. It will look as new once we get that on.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
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.
