1971 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, United States
|
This 240Z was originally purchased in VA and was brought to NC when the original owner retired. I have the original sales receipt (actually has 2 – one showing it as a 1972 and the correct one showing it as a 1971), window sticker, warranty card, radio manual, Manufacturers Statement of Origin, vehicle order form and owner’s manual. It was undercoated when it was new and not driven in the winter time so this Datsun is in superb shape. It still maintains its original driveline (engine, 4 speed transmission and rear end), and runs/drives well. It currently has Nissan wheels from a late 70’s 280Z. The original steel wheels and hubcaps come with the car. The car had one repaint in the original silver color. The seat bottom and seat back on the driver side as well as the seat bottom of the passenger side were replaced with original seat covers. I have the passenger seat back that comes with the car. The car does not have its original radio – the original owner had it replaced and put speakers in the door panels. Sadly the original radio was misplaced. Aside from that, the interior is original and is in great shape for the age of the car. There are 2 cracks on the dash that are shown in the picture. It also needs a rear hatch strut. Bumpers, exterior molding and emblems do show their age. They are presentable for a driver vehicle, but, could be replaced to make it nicer. If I were keeping the car I would replace the shifter boot, foot rest and rear carpet as it shows more age/wear than the rest of the interior parts. All gauges work except for the clock. Mechanically the car is in great shape. You can see from the pictures that the engine is stock, and extremely clean for a 42 year old vehicle with 110K miles. The car is currently located just south of Wilmington NC. I’m happy to email any additional pictures you’d like to see. Please email if you have any questions. |

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
