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.

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun 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 given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
