I am selling my 1971 240Z. The car is in good condition inside and out and drives excellent. This is a daily driver type car, not perfect, but very nice. I believe I am the third owner and I bought the car from a friend about eight years ago. The car is always stored inside with cover and is 99% rust free, it does have one slight bubble on the right front fender as pictured. The interior has new carpeting and seat upholstery in black velour and the dash is original and NOT cracked. The wheels are American "Libra" racing wheels, they are missing their center caps. I have made many upgrades including a new "Motorsport Auto" blade type fuse box, rebuilt wiper motor, 280Z five speed transmission, BRE type front air dam and rear spoiler. I'm also including all my spare parts including an engine ('73 auto), 3.9 differential, etc.
The following items do not work: clock, original AM radio and power antennae, reverse lights, rear defroster. Gas gauge is stuck on 3/4 (a good spare gauge is included). Also the differential is a little noisey on deceleration but works fine.
The winning bidder will pay a deposit of $500.00 within 48 hours by Pay Pal and the balance is to be paid by cashier check, money order, or cash in person within 7 days of sale. Car is located near Reading PA. and the buyer must arrange for retrieval.

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's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:
