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. |

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.
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:

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
