remained there until a few years ago when a family member brought the car to
California and stored it in his garage. I purchased the car from the original
family and conducted a complete maintenance review of the car to get it back on
the road. The car was originally orange
and was repainted many years ago to it’s current blue color. The interior is black. I have had many 240Z cars in the past and
currently have three of them. The
underside of this car is clean and rust free.
This Z car runs and drives very well and would make a great Series 1 car
to drive or restore. The paint is old and there are a couple of small areas
where the paint is bubbling. The hatch
area is solid and very nice. The floors are solid and rust free. Review photos of the both outside and
underneath. This is not a show car or a perfect car by any means but it is a
solid foundation for restoration or drive as is until your ready. Yes, I drive
the car and would drive it across the state. No, I would not drive it to New York
because it is a 40 year old car and I like to fly. I will work with overseas buyers and have
sold several cars outside the US. This
car is being sold with no reserve and a very reasonable starting price. I
reserve the right to end the auction early if I receive a price that I feel is
reasonable. Pictures of the car can be viewed on my Photobucket link. E-mail me for a link to my photo bucket. Please feel free to call me to ask questions or view the car prior to end of auction. My number is 916-764-9759. Thanks, Mike. |

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:

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
