I am selling this car for a friend. I will attempt to answer all questions to the best of my ability. In order to get this car in top condition for sale, it has been under the care of a master mechanic who has gone through it from front to back to ensure that it is in great shape. Items below in the new category marked with an * were replaced by the mechanic. Additionally, he has just rebuilt the carburetor. This car was bought in mid 2012 and a lot of work has gone into it. See below the new items that have been installed. You are bidding on a 1976 Datsun 280Z with a Chevy 5.7L (350c.i.) Vortec engine out of a 2000 truck. The engine had approximately 56,000 miles on it when installed. The transmission is a 700R4 with a shift kit installed and new seals. It works and shifts smoothly and correctly. The Vortec engine and heads are known for flowing extremely well and making lots of reliable horsepower. The original air conditioner was retained and works well. The car was sanded and primed as well as shaved before it was painted with DuPont Chroma base slight metallic blue. The flames are painted using the DuPont Hot Huesline with clear coat overall. All of the glass was removed as well as the seals and rubber which were replaced. The Holley 4 barrel carburetor works well and is easy to work on. As noted, it has been recently rebuilt. The radiator is a stock unit that was re-cored and cools wonderfully in 1000F weather. It has a Taurus 2 speed fan with a temperature regulator that turns the fan on at a preset temperature. Some negatives that you should be able to see from the pictures: · The interior still needs some work. You can see that the driver door is missing the chrome piece but I have that. · There is a place on the right rear corner of the rear hatch that had a little rust when the rear window was pulled. Although it was wire brushed and then treated with a converter, it still shows up when you get real close. · The paint has not adhered correctly on the underside of the hatch. · The headliner is loose (needs to be re-glued) but other than that is quite serviceable Items that have been replaced since 2012: · The exhaust is new · Seat Covers · Fog lights · Wheels (Datsun Z Konig Imagine) · Tires (Nexen N300 215/45 ZR17) · Spoiler · *Flywheel · *Fuel Pump · *Starter · *Ignition switch · Gauges (see picture) $500 deposit from the winning bidder within 48 hours of the end of listing. $250 of this deposit will be returned if you are not satisfied with the car upon inspection. The remainder is non refundable. Balance of payment is due on pick up with either a bank or certified check. The buyer is responsible for all transportation charges. |

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.
Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
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.
