Up for sale is a very nice 1973 Datsun 240Z. It has a March 1973 build date, which is when Datsun set about making some improvements to the electronics, wiring, and chassis. The car only has 26,500 miles! Drivetrain: L24 E88 Head Ported and Machined MSA Stage 3 Camshaft HP Cylinder Machined Arizona Z Car Intake Manifold Holley 390 Carburetor MSA Long Tube Headers 2.25" Mandrel Bent Stainless Exhaust 2.5" Flowmaster Muffler Pertronix Ignitor Ignition Pertronix Flamethrower Coil 8 mm Spark Plug Wires NGK BPES Spark Plugs 2 Row Aluminum Radiator 5-speed from a 280Z New Clutch Master Cylinder Fuel Pressure Gauge Suspension and Brakes: Eibach 1.5" Lowering Springs New OEM Shocks and Struts MSA Sway Bar Kit Eurethane Bushing Kit 16x7" Centerline Corona Wheels 4 205/50/16 Continental ExtremeContact DW Tires (NEW) Upgraded 15/16" Master Cylinder New Brake Lines Upgraded Front Brakes Body: Mercedes Blue Color (Bahama Blue) Fiberglass Bumpers (small ones) MSA Type 1 Fiberglass Front Air Dam Rustproof Material Painted onto Underbody Black Engine Bay Custom Chrome Bullet Mirrors Shaved Side Markers Misc: MOMO Steering Wheel MOMO Steering Wheel Hub Corbeau TRS Seats Custom Black and Blue Vinyl Upholstery Schroth Harness New Carpets and Weatherstripping New Battery MSA Cupholder Center Console Rebuilt Turn Signal and Headlight Switch (These go bad, this one has been completely rebuilt and should be good for quite some time. I also have two spares which I can sell with the car.) Flaws: - Very small amount of surface rust on front left fender. Needs to be sanded down and repainted. -Carb needs a better tune. I can sell you the vacuum gauge to tune the idle mixture for a low price. -Dash is cracked as it always is on these cars, but it comes with a very nice molded cover and looks factory. -Speedometer reads the wrong speed. -Tachometer doesn't work. It needs to be converted to the later 280Z speedometer to work with the electronic ignition. I have the tachometer and will include it with the car. Overall, it's a great car. It does have some flaws which are listed, but they are all minor and don't impede the driving experience or cause too much of a problem. I've been driving it as is and have had no issues. The title on this vehicle is rebuilt. I got the car with a salvage title and turned it into a rebuilt after going through a tedious inspection in Florida. The body is straight, the car tracks true, and it has never been in an accident. The reason for the rebuilt title is because the car has been purchased from a junkyard in 1992 and was saved from getting destroyed. I will be including all the documentation I have for the vehicle. My reason for selling is because I am looking for a different type of classic vehicle, preferably American muscle. Text or call Leo at 904-993-5659 with any questions.

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In 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.
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:
