Here is a 1972 Datsun 240 Z that has been sitting in doors for years. I bought it as part of an estate. The car has a bill of sale but no registration. Some one put a fuel injected 280 Z engine in it then realized they had no way to control the FI. the motor does turn over. A manifold and carb set would be easy to install on the motor. This car would be a great donor car as it has lots of good interior parts as well as after market AC!
The passenger inner fender is rust free! That is impossible to find these days. The rear tail lights and surrounds are good. The rear bumper is good and the front has a minor crack that could easily be fixed and re-chromed. I parted out one of these cars a few weeks ago and got almost $2000. I just don't have the time but if the very low reserve is not met I will find it.
The car comes with four Aluminium "Mags" like the ones shown on the front. The tires are shot on the rears. The rear rims in the picture DO NOT GO with the car. I spent 10 minutes with an electric drill with a wire brush and brought the worst aluminium mag back to almost new. For another $100 I will throw in a nice rear louver from another car I parted out. Those cost over $350 these days.
The rear glass is the rare vertical defroster type. This could also be a fun drift car. It has much more potential then some of the wrecks I see listed. Please send any questions. I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks for looking, Jim

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan'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 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.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
