United States
|
Recently discovered still in possession of the orignal owner, ths 280ZX has to be one of the finest unmolested original examples in existence. Authentic documented 5300 miles from new and perfect storage conditions over the cars 33 year life result in this time capsule find. A very recent total service has just been completed and this runs, drives and performs as good as it looks. Still riding on the orignal raised white letter Bridgestone tires that show minimal wear from their 5300 miles of use. This car was always covered in a climate controlled environment so all of the rubber and plastic trim has no damage or deterioration whatsoever. The leather is soft and supple showing no wear or damage and absolutely has no dye work ever done. Carpets are flawless. Dash pad, switch gear, console controls and steering wheel appear as brand new. All Weatherstripping is pliable and shows no age deterioration. Every single gauge, light, accessory and option operate properly as you would expect. The cars mechanical condition is commensurate with the cosmetics. It runs smooth and quiet, good performance, no leaks or other issues are present, Gearbox and clutch operate properly and brakes are fully functional. We would advise caution for excessive speed on the original 33 year old tires but they appear fine and were off the ground in the cars long term storage. The chassis componentry and underhood pictures should demonstrate how well this car was cared for over the years. Very dry storage prevented any oxidation of all of the aluminum and plated pieces and as you see the car appears both underhood and underside to be a near brand new car. There are absolutly zero modifications from factory build on this car. It is 100% bone stock original.

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Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least.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.
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."
Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, 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.
