Japanese flare meets American muscle. Offered here is a 1979 Datsun 280ZX, also known as the Nissan S130, which was in production from 1978 to 1983 and has recently climbed in collectability. However, this is not a stock Datsun. Replacing the often problematic 2.0L Inline-6 is a Small Block Chevy 350 V8 with a mild cam and mated to a 700R4 transmission with shift kit that offers a driving experience unlike any other. It is pretty quick and the combination of the stylish lines and sublime exhaust sound, this car gets attention wherever driven.

The car was originally from Missouri and came from the factory painted brown with tan interior. It was then brought to Michigan where the drivetrain was upgraded and it was finished in silver. The body is straight and there is no rust to be found. The car has always been garage kept and well cared for. 

Some desirable features include power windows, power mirrors, sunroof, plus 4-wheel disc brakes, upgraded suspension, a converted 4-speed automatic transmission and classy 5-spoke aftermarket wheels with performance tires. The interior is does leave something to be desired but the original seats are in good condition. The exterior and drivetrain is where the money has been spent and it’s obvious from the curb and punching the gas pedal. It starts on command and drives true. Consider this car a driver that can be take car shows with pride. 

This Z could possibly be the most fun you’ll ever have on the open road. More photos/video available upon request.

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.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
