The car looks great from 10 ft, but it will have to painted again to be perfect. I paid alot of money for this paint job, and got a amateur job at best. There are runs that would have to be buffed, and some crackling in the paint and such if you were to try and save it. The good news is that you are viewing a very nice, RUST FREE series 1 1971 240z made in oct of 1970. The car runs great, just had a tune up, including new plugs/wires/points/condensor/distributor/oil changed. Everything gone over- nice tires with lots of tread. The interior is very clean. The only rust repair that was needed on this car were new floors installed. You could eat off the bottom of this car; that's how clean it is. The bottom of it is as clean as the top! The engine bay is very clean as well and motor has the original SU Hitachi carburetors which were just cleaned and tuned. New battery with warranty. The list goes on and on. No bumper on front of car because i have it in race car trim but i do have the bumper. The car is very clean. Runs great. You could fly in and drive home. I've owned this car for a while now and put a lot money, love, and time into it but have other projects that I need to now finish. The car is not perfect, as I mentioned with the paint, but it can be painted again. The main thing and most importantly-- it is a Rust Free car, and very well cared for. Just beware that if you do end up with this beauty in your in your garage. every where you go and at almost every light people are giving thumps up and making them smile. It never fails. I have 1969 Corvette with a 427 and is sweet, but I dont get half the looks and apprecation as the Z. All I can say is: you'll see! Dont miss out on this series 1 -fewer than 800 are still on the road today. The value of these cars is supposed to double in the next 3 to 5 years, a investment you can enjoy. Thanks and Happy bidding!!! |

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."
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.
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:
