For sale is my '72 Datsun 240Z. I have owned & enjoyed for 10 years and I am the 3rd owner. This is an original paint Lime/Yellow car that now runs & drives great! It has a 260Z motor with a fresh rebuild and Z-Therapy carbs. The engine is smooth & quiet with zero valve train noise or any other noises, problems, leaks or smoking. It SCREAMS! The original block & crank are included in sale. It has a re-surfaced flywheel, new clutch disc, pressure plate, T/O bearing, pilot bearing & original 4-speed trans with new synchros, seals & gaskets. It shifts thru all gears like new! The exhaust system is new. The alternator, starter & fuel pump are new too! All work was done professionally by a local Nissan journeyman mechanic and local Datsun Cub member. The engine & engine bay are clean & leak-free! This 240 was bought new by Dr. David Orth from Murfeesboro Datsun in Nov. '72, and I'm including the original bill of sale, owner's manual, warranty book & touch-up paint (still good). Now for what is left to be done; the seats need to be re-done. It could use new carpet. The dash has (2) cracks and needs replacing or dash cover. That's all interior wise. The headliner is good, steering wheel like new, all interior panels original and very good, original radio & power antenna(working) and included, all gauges work, all lights, turn signals, flashers and rear de-fogger work like they should. As for the body; There is no rust in the battery area or rocker panels. I've had the rear hatch panel cut out & re-placed with an exact reproduction & spot welded in like it was originally. The driver side fr. fender has been repaired and is ready for bodyman. A Datsun purist would replace the fender but it is workable as is. Both rear quarters need patch panels (which I am including) and the driver side has been riveted in place and ready to be welded in. The passenger side front fender needs patching and the patch is included as shown. The driver floor has (2) small places (2"X4") total that need patching. The front sub-frames need plates welded in but in no way weak or structurally defective, just small rusted out areas! The rear bumper & over-riders are newly re-chromed! The front bumper is OK, but should be re-chromed to be perfect. The odometer shows 66,000 miles and I believe to be correct but who knows. This car completed with 4-6 thousand dollars of bodywork & paint is a 10-12 thousand dollar car, or drive it and work on it as you go! Call me if you want to inspect & drive. I have nothing to hide from you about this car and if you see/drive it you will buy it! Call me, I'm Paul @ (502) 552-0220

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
