1972 Datsun 240Z I acquired this car from the original owner. People have asked me if I plan to paint it. The answer is no. The car has perfect patina and gets tons of looks. It was purchased in the fall of 1972 and spent most all of its life in Hollywood FL. The vehicle received the ZIEBART treatment shortly after purchase…hence the reason there is very little rust. The entire underbody has been undercoated. The engine is original with 112K miles. The bottom end was rebuilt at 100K. I installed new seat foam, seat covers, carpet, and vinyl. I also have the black plastic that goes on the inner door kick plate area. The plastic trim, headliner, and door panels are all original and in really good shape. The dash has a very small straight crack in it that can be repaired. The original 8-Track player is still in place, but I haven’t got it to work. The chrome is in really good condition. All the lights and signals work great. I have the rear window visor as well. I removed all the suspension from beneath the car and blasted it. I then coated everything in POR-15. I installed new poly bushings. I also installed Eibach lowering springs with Tokico performance shocks. The wheels are Rota RB’s and the tires have less than 100 miles on them. I also have the original steel wheels and spare tire that are in new condition, but I do not have the hubcaps. I dropped the fuel tank, cleaned it and replaced all the rubber hoses. I also replaced the fuel lines under the hood. The brakes are “all new”. It has the original rotors and calipers, but I rebuilt everything and installed all new hoses and a new reservoir. On the rear the car has the original aluminum drums and I replaced all the brake internals and shoes. When I brought the car home a couple years ago, it had sat for about 4 years prior. I replaced the oil, plugs, wires, and cleaned the points and it fired right up. I haven’t done any tuning on the car to dial in the carbs. The car runs out great though and will easily cruise highway speeds all day long. It could use a pressure plate because the clutch engagement is not smooth. Also, the brakes require more force due to the broken vacuum line on the master cylinder…an easy fix that I haven’t got around to. Those are the only 2 items that come to mind. I really had no intention of ever parting with this car, but I have to. I just hope the next person enjoys it as much as I have. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. If you have fewer than 2 feedbacks or negative feedback, please contact me before bidding…otherwise your bid will be cancelled. Thank you for looking! |

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
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.
