(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.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody 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."

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
