Up for bid is a 1977 Datsun 280z with 94,376 original miles on it. I bought this car about a year ago with the intentions of restoring it but i just have to many other projects so its time to let it go. First of all this car has zero rust underneath. No rust on the floorpans, frame rails etc. I am not sure if its original or not but it still has undercoating from front to rear. There are a few places where it is pealing off and you can see the shiny silver paint underneath. By the way silver was the original color. If you know anything about these cars you will know that it is a rare thing to find one without some sort of rot underneath. As for the body there were a few rusty spots but that has been cut out and replaced with the exception of the rear hatch lip. It has been cut out but still needs a patch welded in. The interior is in decent shape. It could use carpet as it is faded in spots but is still very usable. The drivers seat has a few small tears in the corner but not bad at all and the passenger seat is fine. The door panels and headliner look brand new with no issues at all. The center console is broke by the radio but all the pieces are there so it could be fixed. The dash does have a few small cracks. As for the engine it runs but needs a timing chain. When i first got the car I pulled the gas tank and cleaned it before trying to start it. Once re-installed the car would crank over but was dragging. I bought and installed a new starter and it helped but was still dragging a little. I was able to play with the timing and get it started but was running rough. I pulled the valve cover and was able to see there was a lot of slop in the timing chain. I guess it could just be a guide or tensioner but i would go ahead and replace the timing chain as well. I was able to drive it around the yard and the transmission went right into gear and the rearend felt good and tight. 1 wheel cylinder has been removed and rebuilt as it was leaking but still needs to be re-installed. The car has the factory mag wheels on it that are in good shape just need a good cleaning. The tires have good tread but have dry rot from sitting. The front and rear bumpers have been removed but i still have them if interested. It wouldnt take much to get this car on the road and you would have a very sharp cruiser. I have tried to give as much info as possible about this car but if you have any questions I havent answered feel free to ask. The buyer assumes all responsability for pick up and/or shipping.

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.
Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody 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."
