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 2013

The 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.

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.

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."
