Up for auction is my Series One 1971 Datsun 240Z with VIN HLS3013523, making this car #13,523 to roll off the Datsun production line in 1970. The date of manufacture was November of 1970. Originally purchased by owner # 1 on December 21, 1971 from Le Man's Motors, Inc. in San Bernardino, California. I am owner #2, and I purchased this car from the original owner in September of 2005. During my ownership, I have come to know this Z quite well, both it's positives and negatives.
For a comprehensive understanding of this car's current condition, documenting all positives and negatives, please review all 185 photos with descriptions by clicking below:

1971 Datsun 240Z photos and descriptions I am strongly suggesting that you review all photos and descriptions in the photos linked above before bidding. As an overview, I am including a number of photographs and descriptions in this auction as well. The best thing about this 240Z is that, with it's California origins, it is virtually rust free. Another positive is it's high level of originality. Where I've replaced parts, I've tried to use OEM Nissan parts as extensively as possible. The odometer reading of 85,593 is correct and represents original miles. This Datsun starts easily and runs well. Handling is very good, due in part to an extensive suspension refurbishment that included new KYB struts, Euro Spec. springs, and OEM rubber bushings. The biggest negative is that, back in 1973, the car was involved in a low speed accident. While stopped, the car was hit from the rear. Subsequent repair work was not of the highest quality, and the paint has since cracked and faded in several areas . The dash is cracked. Coolant is weeping very slightly from head gasket to block exterior. (For detailed pictures of any of these deficiencies, please view the extensive photo album by clicking on the link above. Summation of work completed since my purchase (receipts for almost all):
Here are some exterior & engine compartment photos:

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
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.
