Orange 1972 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Mountain View, California, United States
|
This car has been driven. It runs great, handles well and is a great pleasure to drive. Can be used a daily driver (if you don’t mind 14 MPG). It does need a bit of warming up on a cold morning. Please send a message and I can provide more photos or try to answer your questions. If you are local, I can make time to show the car off. Video: Engine Starting, Idling, and Revving Details: Weber Carbs Weber Carb choke mod - Uses the original choke lever in the cabin to close the choke when warming the engine. California Smog exempt (Pre-1975), so the smog bits have been removed. I have them in storage, if you’d like them, drop a note. New Windshield - The chrome border for the windshield is included. It was a bit bent and could probably use replacing, but If you were the handy type I suppose you could wrangle it in there. One of the corner pieces is missing. Pioneer CD Player - MP3 Enabled, Bluetooth, USB Prestige alarm system Alloy Wheels with locking nuts Condition: The horn is not currently connected. The handbrake warning light does not come on when brake is engaged. The blower knob is included, but not installed. The passenger window handle is missing the knob, but the lever works just fine. The instrument panel is dim, which is my personal preference, but it might be a problem. Cosmetics: Not the original paint. Very nice pinstripes along the sides. Rust on the trunk lid (photo included), under the floor carpeting, and on the battery shelf. Bumps around the trunk. Nothing too strange for a 40 year old rust magnet. A door ding on the driver’s side door. Some paint missing from road debris strikes (Example in photos). Cracked dash (comes standard on 70’s Z-cars). Extras: Original Carbs Lots of gaskets for window, door and trunk seals Smog components If you’d like any of them, just drop a note and I’ll pull them out of storage. History: Bought from a private owner 3 years ago. His project became mine. The car has been registered in California and Oregon. Shipping: Buyer is responsible for pickup or making shipping arrangements. Payment: Cash in person or Cashier’s Check. $500 PayPal Deposit within 3 days. Balance due within 7 days. |

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.

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.
