1973 Datsun 240Z -race car

Up for AUCTION: NO RESERVE

Time to build your own track car that at certain angles has a
sort of Ferrari Daytona or Daytona Coupe look.

this car started life as a low mileage 73 Nissan 240Z
rust free , super straight chassis- body car

(we didnt do the work, we are just trying to explain
how the car got into its current condition and whats been done
so far)

Rust Free Arizona Datsun , that alone makes this worth building

Last owner started by removing the roof, the did an abundance of
fiberglass work along the body and rearend too.

DRIVETRAIN: Engine bay is clean and straight just waiting
for a drivetrain for todays standards. Maybe a 1JZ, small
block FORD or GM, SHO Yamaha V6 or even a Datsun SR20
maybe. Original car was a stick so if you want a manuel
trans,  shouldnt be hard to do. These stock rearends are 
known for handling alot of HP, so you can prob leave it alone.
RIMS & Tires,  the possibilities are e-n-d-l-e-s-s !!!

INTERIOR: Gutted as you can see mostly..
The dash is intact mostly and ready for your touch
on it. Factory gauges all there. , pedals etc.
Floors are very solid as you can tell from the pics
inside and out. The door panels are both fiberlass
now for lightness and easy to finish.
Trunk had the spare tire well cut out prob for
the use of a fuel cell.
Cage was installed by the last owner and it really
looks decent, could be chromoly steel, not sure.

EXTERIOR: still much of the original Datsun Steel with some
fiberglass additions. Would be cool to add your own HID
Projector style headlights, and LED taillights too for race or
street use. The rear body panels I think maybe be off a
Miata in parts. Whats been done is actually nice and done
pretty well. A 1 pcs tilt front end was also fabricated and
works pretty well. Easy to use, not finished but a really
good start. Vents built into the front fenders are a nice
touch, not just or a good look, but help extract hot air too.
Its obviously not finished.


Suspension: Mostly stock, but I did see some aftermarket
lowering springs in the car. Not sure what brand but they
help the car sit at nice stance.


This car is 90% rust free Arizona NISSAN RWD Modern Classic


240Zs  like this come along far and few between.

Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
























































































































































To the best of my knowledge this 240Z wasnt wrecked prior
to the modifications.
Probably The BEST represented Nissans on Ebay.
 
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. 

Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know
exactly what you have in the end.

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles
youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.
Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. 
With other auctions,  you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.
Email me for a quote for shipping.
Or fly in and drive it home, its that reliable and clean
.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun 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 given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.

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.
