See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Amazing condition 1972 Datsun 240Z. Original L24E 2.4L I6 engine. This is a true garage find. Mileage has never turned over. Runs and drives great with 56,000 original miles! (Yes... you have read that correctly... 56K) You can drive it right out of my garage and bring her home to yours!. The dash is absolutely perfect and shiny as if it were brand new. The passenger's seat cover is the only interior piece I would recommend replacing due to a bit of fading and a 2 inch long rip on the bottom along the seam. The car drives smoothly without any grinds from the trans. I did swap the Trans to a 280Z 5 speed trans with a Nismo R180 rear diff for increased mileage as well as a set of 2 piece enkei classic wheels. They simply do not make cars like this anymore. I have averaged 42MPG on the freeway in this Z. Again, this is a rust free car and a "survivor" meaning the paint is very clean but you will find very minor imperfections. (The car was indeed built 42 years ago)"

 No dents, a few imperfections with paint (has never been cut and buffed) as well as a small section of paint cracking below driver's side mirror. Driver's side mirror does not stay in adjustment. Passenger's side seat is a bit faded and has a small seam tear.

Rare, very clean and well maintained car, low mileage, 5 speed (done properly with rear diff as well) Rust free

I am not the original owner. I have owned the car for about a year now.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In 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.

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.

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:
