1972 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Glen Arm, Maryland, United States
|
Hello, I am selling a very nice 1972 Datsun 240 Z for a friend of many years who has decided, reluctantly, to sell his toy of 24 years and head in a new automotive direction (Corvette).. My friend bought this car 24 years ago from the third owner. The first owner was in Newport, Virginia followed by an owner in Perry Hall and Lutherville Maryland. This Z has been treated well all its life and it really shows. The body is very good overall and was re-painted in 1995. The paint is holding up well and while not a show car does look very good. As is common with almost all the early Z cars there is some rust that should be attended to. Both rockers have some rust spots, below the deck lid and just a couple small holes on the rails inside the wheel wells. I've been an auto restorer for 35 years and nothing too hateful, rust wise, on the car. The pictures should explain the details. Front and rear bumper are solid, not marked or dented and look presentable. All glass good, windows work well as do wipers. The interior is basically original and really pretty nice. Great headliner, good dash with dashtop cover, decent seats and nice original door panels. All gauges except the clock work great. All lights and heater work well. Oil has always been changed regularly. Motor runs cool , idles great, burns no oil, accelerates great and sounds perfect. Tranny shifts as is should. The following gives a little more details;
Replaced;brake master cylinder,front brake pads, ignition coil, rear brake shoes,rear wheel cylinders,fuel pump and fuel filter,muffler and tailpipe,oil and oil filter,starter,new windshield, new floor pans and alternator. The car has its original hubcaps and had new tires about 20,000 miles ago. The radio is not original. Car comes with a spare motor and transmission that was removed from a 80,000 mile running car. A spare hood is also included as are misc repair manuals, booklets and original owners manual. In summary, this is over-all a very nice early 240Z needing some minor rust repairs to bring her back to excellent but can certainly be enjoyed as it is. A really great running Z that has been taken care of and is ready for its new owner. Thank you for looking and please email any questions. I will be glad to answer any questions on the phone, just send me your phone number and a good time to call and I'll get back to you. Thank you....Phillip |

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
