1972 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
|
1972 240Z Production date of 10/71 Originally a California Car No signs of any accidents This is the cleanest unmolested Z that I have ever seen. It is very rare to find a Z as complete as this one with Factory parts. Almost every other 240Z that I have come across has the seats recovered, after market carpet kits, and rust repairs There is no rust on the car The car has been repainted once in its original Orange. Paint is over 12 years old and is shiny but not perfect. A few chips, light scratches Air conditioning The interior is in great shape with the original seats (in perfect shape and not recovered) and original carpet. The door panels have been replaced with NOS ($1000.) Too many NOS parts to list. Some examples being: Full exhaust Starter Fuel pump Door panels Bumper mounts All front end bushings Tail lights Brake master cylinder coil Nissan reman distributor The frame is in mint shape with no repairs or undercoating covering up rust. Windshield is chip and scratch free Perfect headliner The dash has no cracks but has been repaired in a couple of places. Battery tray is clean Rebuilt
motor Rebuilt polished SU Carbs Rebuilt 4 speed tranny with new clutch. Shifts like a dream. Brand new 15" Rota rims in Hyberblack with Yokohama tires. Tires fit perfect with no rubbing. The car also comes with the Stock wheels and Hub caps with Radial T/A's Brand new Eibach springs and KYB struts on all 4 corners. The car also comes with the original springs which I can have put back in if you prefer. Hidden 2 way paging alarm with immobilizer The car runs and drives great. All of the U-joints are tight with Zero clunks I have all of the records for the car since 1989. Previous owner spent $$$ replacing anything he could with Nissan New Old Stock parts. Original radio and working power antenna The car is stock except for the Wheels, springs, camber adjust and bump steer spacers. ( The clock has been replaced with an identical looking battery powered unit. When the previous owner went to rebuild the motor the mechanic told him that one of the cylinders would have to be bored. He was not comfortable with this. Instead he had a separate block rebuilt and stored the original numbers matching block. This block will be included in the sale. The air con needs to be recharged. The previous owner said that it will hold a charge for 2 years. It is 40 years old and has hose clamps instead of threaded fittings. The car has a custom tonnue cover in the back hatch area that can easily be removed (snaps) The car is located in Vancouver Canada, which is a 3 hour drive from Seattle. I will try to ad a video of the car running and driving in the next couple of days. All of the pictures in the ad are current I have added pictures of the frame, very few of the sellers add these.This in my opinion is the most critical part of the car. If they have been repaired or replaced the rest of the car will have rust as well. Do not be fooled by New shiny repaints There is much more to this car than in the ad. If you are serious about purchasing the car reply with your phone number for more info. |

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.
First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan'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.
Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
