1977 Datsun 280z 53,000 Miles! No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:53862
Location:

Morgantown, West Virginia, United States

Morgantown, West Virginia, United States

I started this as a project, but marriage, a new son, and a new house have gotten in the way. I spent well over $3000 in parts, etc, and this will be a really nice car when completed, but I no longer have the time or space. My loss is your gain. Car has been garaged since I've owned it. Too nice of a car to part out, but at this price, you could buy it for parts. I was told when I bought the car that the miles were original and actual. From the condition of the car when I got it, I believe that to be accurate. Car is complete, minus carpet and rubber door and window seals. Body is in good condition for the age. The car was Ziebarted when new. The only real rust on car was the driver's side floor (which has been cut out for repair) and rocker panel. All removable body panels are off the car. Most of the body has been stripped back to bare metal for a respray. Some body work was started. Some of the body panels have been primed with PPG self-etching primer. All glass is good, including windshield and backlight with defrost. New upholstery for the interior. New front brakes, clutch master and slave cylinders, etc. Clear WV title.

Buyer is responsible for shipping. Car ran and drove when parked, but the clutch slave cylinder was bad. Fuel tank has since been drained and removed. All running gear is still in car. Rolls and steers. I will help with shipping as far as: boxing all parts, temporarily re-attaching doors, fenders, hood and hatch, and helping to load. I would recommend a closed trailer to prevent any parts from being lost if a box falls over, etc. Most bolts are in baggies attached to the part they hold on, or in the original threaded bolt holes. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PARTS OR FASTENERS LOST, STOLEN, BROKEN OR OTHERWISE MISPLACED OR DAMAGED IN TRANSIT!!!!!

This car is for sale, complete, but disassembled. AS-IS, Where-is. I strongly urge anyone bidding to visit and look at the car in person, or send a trusted representative so you know exactly what you are buying. I have tried to make my description of  this car as accurate and honest as possible. Description is for informative purposes only and is my personal opinion. In no way is my description to be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any type. Please understand that this is a 37 year old car, not a new car. This car has been disassembled for restoration, it is not a running and driving vehicle. 

This is a NO RESERVE auction. Whatever the final bid price is what the car will sell for. I have 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence. By bidding on this car, you are entering into a legally binding contract. Non-paying bidders will be prosecuted. Buyer responsible for securing shipment or transport of vehicle at buyers cost. A non-refundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close. Full payment due within 7 days of auction close. Neither the car nor the title will be released until payment in full is made.

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.

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
