(This is a non running, non operable vehicle). This is a rare "Barn Find" ....except it has not been in a barn but stored in a nice dry facility since 1993. During the past 20 years it has not seen rain, snow, sleet, the sun or any other similar elements! This is an unmolested original car and is probably the nicest restorable Datsun z that I have seen in this area! It is a 3 owner car. The vehicle is 99% complete...I can only find that the radio, the inspection covers for the taillights, spare tire, shift boot, and a Z emblem are missing! The body is exceptional, and I see no sign of accident except for the rocker panel under the driver door (see photo). Paint is very good, and could probably be buffed out to look nice....sorry, but I cannot explain the primer shown. Very little rust, except where shown in photos, and these are only small surface rust spots....I've tried to show all of this in the photos. INTERIOR: Door panels appear as new. Dash has typical splits for this age era. Seats are great, except the cushions/bottoms need recovering. Steering wheel, console and other dash components appear to be in nice shape. Rubber around windshield, back glass and doors appear to be in exceptional condition and do not need replacing. This car is equipped with air conditioning.

ENGINE AND DRIVE COMPONENTS: Brakes are not locked up and car rolls freely. E-brake operates as it should. Clutch pedal feels good and 4 speed transmission shifts as you would expect. A battery was connected and THE ENGINE TURNS OVER FREELY WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. No, it did not start...as should be expected of a vehicle parked for 20 years! However, the owner indicated it was running well when he replaced the vehicle with another and parked this z in 1993. The tires are the same ones as when the car was parked 20 years ago...they have plenty of tread but are dry rotted and are not suitable for the road.

A 77 front bumper was on the car, but removed for towing. You may have your choice of the 77 bumper or the original 76 bumper.

This is a great car for anyone who wants to make it into a very nice and driveable z car...with the stock motor or a V8. The car is in amazing shape but you be the judge, based upon the photos shown. This is a difficult car to find, not because of its age but its condition. Clear title is available for transfer.

Please email me should you have questions. If you are near Greensboro, NC I would be delighted to show you the vehicle.

A Paypal deposit of $200.00 is required within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days in the form of cashiers check, bank transfer, or money order.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.

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.
