Up for sale is a 1973 Datsun 240 automatic with approx. 104k original miles. Vin# HLS30133697 I have owned this car for about 6yrs. When I bought the car the body was very clean however the car had been painted once before and was faded and the original hood had a bend in the front edge so I decided to replace it with a very nice 280z hood.  I bought the car originally to show my sons how to work on and do minor restore work and if necessary a college investment and since I have one going to college this coming year, this will be a good start.  Most people recognize that these cars are becoming more and sought after.  Engine upgrades, conversions, and modifications make these cars more popular every year.  This 240z is an automatic car which is nice since it is so rare however, some might prefer to own a manual 4 speed .  The car has been garaged majority of the time I have owned it. I drive it on nice days to and from work about 15miles each way. I also have taken it to some local car shows near and around town.  I have all the original parts like the flat top carbs and air cleaner and misc., stuff   I have replaced windshield, rubber gaskets, installed passenger mirror, carpet, dash cover.  I have replaced flat top carbs with round top and chrome air covers.  AC-unit was removed prior to me owning it. I have replaced heater hoses in and out from Z-Source.  Front seats have been recovered.  The car runs and drives good.  The car is pretty straight and solid all the way around. 

Exterior:  Normal wear and tear it is no show car however it does turn heads. Glass on driver side has some pitting from when door was sand blasted. Front bumper not great could be replaced or re chromed.   Rear bumper was re chromed and new rubber installed. New power antenna installed. New gas tank hoses.  Gas tank was cleaned. I have installed new rubber seals. I still have some for the car that have not been installed that will go with like cowl hood seal etc.  Also have a set of spare wheels and tires that came with the car look like 280z wheels with good tires very nice condition. The car currently has new wheels and tires and tire have about 5k on them.  Paint showing wear some minor pits and cracking still looks good. Front bumper see photo. Lots of new emblems and rubber. I do also have a very nice rear Louver for the Z that will go with, I have not installed.Interior:  Good condition overall. showing interior wear some cracking on tops of door panels.  Very nice car not show. New carpet, Seats have been re-upholstered Console has broken plastic around choke lever area.  Most panels good but have some cracks. I have covers and panels that may have not been shown in pictures.  The floor pan on passenger side has a small patch 6x10 and the driver side has one also nothing structural.

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time the car is for sale locally. This car is 40yrs old I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately and honestly as possible.  Remember it is a used vehicle. As with any vehicle there may be issues that I have overlooked or am unaware of. This 240z is being sold as is basis. A $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of auction end and balance COD within 7 days. Buyer pays for shipping.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, 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.

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.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
