Year: 1975
Mileage: 46,718
Make: Datsun
Sub Model: 280Z NICEST SURVIVOR IN EXISTENCE IMPECCABLE
Model: Z-Series
Trim: Z
Drive Type: RWD

This first year 280Z is not restored. It is in stunning survivor, 100% original condition. Likely the nicest, lowest mile example in the country and certainly the nicest available on the market today. This one is for the discriminating collector looking for the very best.

Bought new by the recently deceased original owner for his new bride Vicky in 1975. Custom engraved 'Vicky' gear shift knob has been on the car since new and only recently replaced with the original Z 4 speed knob. All records, original sales invoice, original Datsun owner guaranty card, and title substantiate original ownership and are all included. Original key, dealership key ring, owners manual, service booklet, dealership vinyl document pouch, and dealer installed upgraded cassette deck owners manual are included, and in mint original preserved condition.

Car itself is absolutely breath taking. Your eyes can't almost believe what they are seeing. I have never in my life seen a metallic original paint look this fantastic. Only due to the full time indoor storage, and extremely low use did it survive like this. No cloudiness, cracking, chipping or thin spots. Paint is amazing. Body is laser straight with a few very minor misc. dings that would easily be fixed with paintless removal (too minor and small to even bother with if it were me and only mentioned at all in the interest of full disclosure).

Interior is a mind blower. Still smells new! Flawless dash, carpets, seats, door panels, headliner, rear panels, etc. No fading, stains, or scratches. every, light, heater, lever, wiper, etc works like new. This is an a/c car in it works. Could likely use a charge. 1 extremely small tear the size of quarter exists at the bottom, lower driver side seat back (pictured). You can't even see it unless you look for it and lift on it. Absolutely amazing. Original unused spare tire. Car cover included.

Engine compartment is extremely clean and tidy. original engine compartment torpedo light works of course. Just hard to come up with enough new descriptive words to keep from sounding redundant, but under the hood is amazing. The kind of condition every nook and cranny of this car is in can not be duplicated short of a frame off, nut and bolt restoration....and this one is original!

The fun only starts at appearance, this car is a turn key, ready to drive, E ticket blast from the past driving experience and needs nothing. Drives as strong and precise as you remember them when they were new. Fast, nimble, and smooth. Flies down the freeway at todays speeds with none of the 30+ year old wind noises, rattles and freeway wondering you might expect. Shifting is also tight and responsive in and out of all 4 gears and reverse with no fussy down shifts, grinding or popping out of gear. Clutch is firm and precise with no hint of slipping. Always maintained at a premium level, this Z car feels almost new behind the wheel.

I could go on and on, but take a look at the 118 images here first and feel free to call or email with all follow up questions: http://s761.photobucket.com/user/car-reras/library/280z (916) 813-2124.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, 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.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Four 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.
