Datsun 240Z 1970 Series VIN HLS30- 08551 engine number L24 11638 

This car is equipped with a 2.4 Liter inline 6 cylinder engine, rated at 150 HP at 6000 RPM, it has the original round top twin SU Carbs, original 4 speed transmission.  This vehicle is in running condition, it will need to either have the hydraulics inspected and repaired as it has not been on the road since 1983 when it was garaged.  It does turn over and start, please see video for start up from the link above. It has to the best of my knowledge 102737 original miles as the odometer has just turned over. The body is straight and has no rust problem areas.  The underside of the battery tray usually where you find rust first, the unibody is intact and all body panels beneath the car are intact with no rust. There are pictures of the floor boards without the carpet in the Flickr photo set as well as the floor for the spare tire area. These areas have never been restored or painted, the car is as it is pictured. I have personally never seen a 44 year old car in such good condition without restoration. This is a very desirable year and model as it is a first year Z, The Z registry lists a little over 200 of these cars at the current time as survivors.  This vehicle is not in the registry at this time. 


Datsun 240Z History

  • Largest selling sports car in North America
  • Designed in the mid 1960's with head turning style similar to Ferrari 250GT and Jaguar type E

  • Many parts are plug and play from other Datsuns (transmissions, motors, differentials, brakes, etc.)
  • Used parts are easily sourced and are low in cost

Condition This car can be enjoyed as it is, a true survivor or it would make an extremely easy base for restoration as it has no rust problems. The current paint is to the best of my knowledge originally from the factory.  Interior is intact, I have not seen many Z’s in this condition.  This is a rarity, especially being a first year series 1 car with all its correct parts.  This vehicle would be considered a number 3 car on the Hagerty insurance valuation site.  The interior, straight body and rust free condition are the greatest attributes of this car

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In 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.
