I Highly suggest looking coming out and looking at the car before bidding. THE GOOD: The car is a good driver it was owned by a mechanic before me so most everything works, Lights, turn signals, tac, speedo, wipers, blue tooth radio, rebuilt round top su Carbs, newer brakes, New tires about 3-5000 miles. The car has had rust repair on the floor boards( patched welded) and covered with undercoating looks ok but solid. The rocker panels, one fender and the bumper delete were all welded in and bondoed. The paint is a newer duplicolor paint with 3-4 coats of clear . Looks good front 10' off . The BLack strips are decals. The front and rear window seals have been replaced . The AC actually does blow cold (surprise) . It runs and drives fine , The exhaust is newer but a bit loud is straight with a CHerry bomb Resonator and Chrome tip. The interior is in good shape there is a small tear in driver's seat . The door panels are nice but they are from a 280z and the door lock holes did not line up so there are 2 holes on each door panel . The interior was white and has been changed over to black . Many of the pieces were changed over... door panels, new headliner, visors, seats and some plastic were dyed black. It has been 2 years and still looks good. The car runs great I have driven it a good bit and the PO drove it on a couple long trips. Like all old z cars it has a bit of exhaust smell. the tail lights and every opening in the rear needs to be plugged, I haven't had time to do this. The car Starts right up and drives great. The rims are old Westerns ( much like the Panasports or Konig rewind but older) Tires are great. Has newer carpet kit installed but not the best of quality. The Bad One of the fenders did not get the best of Patches and bondo treatment and could be replaced. The bumper delete is kinda wavy. The Paint job is OK paint was decent and it was wet sanded between coats but it is definitely driver quality enough to impress from 10-15 feet off but there are imperfections. I bought the car for a friend overseas and then he saw a 240 I had that he wanted more . I have too many z cars so this one has to go . IF you have any questions or want to see it you can give me a call 828 242 6181 . I do have it for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. I will try to post more pictures

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
