Hi All.

HISTORY

-'72 Datsun 240z

-date of manufacture: 9/71

-second owner, bought in Atlanta 2001. The original owner passed and I purchased it from his daughter. The original owner, George, was an airline mechanic with Delta AIrlines. The front bumper has a small Delta sticker which must stay on the car!

-roughly 2000 miles put on the Z since I purchased it.

-have original sales receipt- in photos

SPECS

-Mostly original minus:

weber dgv carbs put on by original owner. I do not have original SU carbs
front air dam and headlight scoops-seen in pictures. I do not have original headlights/ scoops
car was repainted in early 80's. It is the original color.

CONDITION

-The Z runs and drives well. It is not registered or inspected at this time. I put roughly 100 miles on it this Spring.

-The Z burns a small amount of oil. The engine has not been touched. Compression is good and consistent across all cylinders. I am not talking clouds of black smoke, just puffs under heavy throttle.

-The oil and temperature gauges are finicky. When operable, oil psi is about 45 psi at 2000rpm.

-No fluid leaks, no puddles/ stains on garage floor.

-The Z is equipped with air conditioning as a dealer installed option. It is not operable, but compressor does engage.

-The original radio works. I have a replacement power extendable antennae installed. The switch on the radio to raise/lower the antennae is not sending power to antennae as of this Spring, antennae is operable when powered directly.

-I've replaced the brake master cylinder, both rear wheel cylinders, alternator and voltage regulator over the years. That's it.

-I've documented the rot as best I can in pictures. I've bondo'ed in front of both rear tires behind rocker panels. Both front fenders in front of rocker panels have bondo. The hatch area is in good shape. A few bubbled have popped up around fuel fill area.

-The windshield rubber needs replacement.

-The floors are solid.

-The undercarriage is solid.

-The drivetrain is solid, shifts well, no clunks, grinding of any kind.

REASON FOR SELLING

My nights and weekends are consumed coaching youth football, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse. While I wouldn't have it any other way, I just don't have time to take care of this Z I truly love. I've owned Z's since high school. This is far and away my favorite and really really hoped to restore it. She needs a good home. A little TLC and she's good to go. Also a great candidate for restoration. The lime yellow is uncommon and really sharp. Having the original sales receipt and some hand written maintenance logs from George is pretty special.

Thanks for looking and don't hesitate with questions.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, 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.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A 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:
