It is a 1972 Datsun 240z. 85k miles on the ODO. 4 speed. 

It is an older restoration that needs a some work to get back to great shape. 

There have been some upgrades for drivability and reliability. Those being an electric fuel pump and an electronic ignition. A full tune up(plugs, ignition coil, wires, etc.) was done when the electronic ignition was installed 2 months ago. Full synthetic oil is all I've put in it. 
New polyurethane sway bar end link bushing and new strut rod bushings. 
There is some new rubber seals as well. There are no leaks in the rear hatch. 
It has a new battery a month ago. 
New Clutch slave cylinder.
Tires only have a few thousand miles on them. 
Paint: there are some blemishes, and it's a bit rough around a couple corners(1 crack, some bubbling of the paint on the fender lips), but, it does shine really nicely and with a fresh wax the car looks amazing! The engine bay has been painted black, the radiator supports have been painted the body color silver, the underside of the hood painted to match as well. Door jams painted as well. Rear deck inside was not, so it is the original brown.
Frame rails are in decent shape, just did a new underbody coating with a roll on bed liner.

What it needs: A little bit of interior work: carpet on the driver's side, carpet on the rear deck, driver's seat has a rip in it, dash is cracked but has dash pad, center console cracked. Probably some simple maintenance things on top. 

There are no oil leaks and it does not burn mounds of oil. I put in a quart once between oil changes.

It's an easy winter project. Not something you have to poor tons of effort into. It's the little things.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan'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 expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those 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.

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:
