This is an incredible survivor West Coast original 1973 240Z. I purchased this car from its second owner and did a restoration last year. The car received new paint, stripped to bare metal revealing no rust or prior collision damage. Refinished in a contemporary Root Beer Metallic Brown that is simply stunning!! The interior was redone in a complementing two tone tan with black carpet and the suspension bushings and tires were replaced for excellent ride quality.The only modification from stock is the addition of dual Weber carburetors installed when the car was new by the dealership in Fontana California. The car runs like new. Original paperwork from the dealership & maintenance receipts are included. Records from the previous owners indicate a history of professional regular maintenance. Odometer indicates 86,000, which I assume is original miles but from the condition may have been reset from a rebuild on the engine? Mechanically the car is in exceptional condition with no known mechanical issues. My wife drives it regularly and we have had great response at all the car shows. I have listed the vehicle for a Co-Work here on ebay if you have any questions feel free to call him directly his name is Glenn Call 503-577-2225 This vehicle has no warrenties and is sold in "AS-IS" condition so please ask your questions first before bidding and the buyer is responsible for ALL shipping cost no exceptions! Thanks for looking....

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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 to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
