I purchased this car from the original female owner who bought the car new on May 1, 1972 from San Jose Datsun.  I have the original San Jose Datsun New Car Guarantee Certificate, Warranty and Service Book, Hitachi Radio Guide, Datsun Air Conditioning Manual, Datsun 240Z Owners Manual, and Dealer Additional Equipment Sticker. I also have the Original Window Sticker and a copy of the Original Owner Title. The vehicle is currently registered and in my name per California DMV rules. 


Mostly original #110 paint on the car with a few areas of re-paint. The rear hatch was dented in a parking lot mishap back in the 1980's.  The body shop used a lacquer paint back in the day which is now checking.  There was no damage to the taillight panel. This car has a white interior that is in excellent condition for age.

The dash is in good shape with two small cracks. All gauges working ( temp guage works intermittently) as well as electric antenna.

This car still has the original Koito headlights installed.


The headliner is in very good shape as are the door panels. Windows roll up and down. 

Air Conditioning is all present but needs compressor re-installed and some R12 added.  
 
The car was parked by the original owner in 2008 and was towed to a shop where it underwent a clean up and mechanical check.  The master brake cylinder was replaced along with the front brake calipers and pads.  The rear brake cylinders were also replaced along with brake shoes.  We replaced the battery and completed a tune up and oil change. 

This Z car had been on a California DMV non-op since 2008 and is now currently registered, insured and in my name.  I currently have two other Z cars with performance goodies installed on them. This car is much too original and nice to change in any way therefore I am selling it to someone who will appreciate it for the beautiful original survivor that it is.  

Feel free to visit my photo bucket page and look through 150 pictures of this car. There are 96 pictures in the album and on the last page there is a link to a sub-album with an additional 54 pictures. 


This Z car is about as rust free as any Z car that has not been on a rotisserie.  The paint is good for a 40 year old car but it does have the usual scratches and minor dings along the sides and nose. 

This is a great example of an early Z car and it will sell with no reserve and at a very low starting price. There is NO buy it now price. I have tried to describe this car in such a way that the buyer will receive a car that is in better condition than described. 

Car is sold as is - where is. No warranties expressed or implied.

Yes, after full payment is received, I can store the car for a few weeks for transportation or overseas delivery.  I have sold several cars to overseas buyers and am comfortable doing so. 

Contact me prior to bidding if you have little or no E-Bay feedback.  If not your bid will probably be ignored and cancelled. 

Please contact me with any questions or to set up a viewing of the car. Mike 916-764-9759.

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:

Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.

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.
