1982 Datsun 280ZX Absolutely in Immaculate condition, This vehicle was the pride and joy of an Air Force Colonel for 29 years for most of its life and due to health reasons it was sold to me. It was originally purchased by him 1984 and used as a driver to the base for many years and has been in a garage the entire 29 years. It has been meticulously maintained and well cared for and it shows. Since purchasing this vehicle I have gone through all systems to insure that everything is in working order. I have been a Z enthusiast all of my life and absolutely love this car. But due to a job situation I do need to find a new home for it.
The car: 90% all original paint Silver in excellent Condition, The front and rear bumpers and roof were repainted with a urethane base coat clearcoat to achieve as close as possible to original finish. Of course there are a few stone chips and very minor scratches that have been professionally touched up. All dings were removed with paintless dent removal and I would consider it a 9 1/2 out of 10 for a 31 year old car. Original pinstripes, wheels, Clean car fax with no body damage ever!!!! Car runs and drives like the day it drove off the lot. Shifts well, nice and tight, sounds new, COLD A/C and all systems are in working order. I have not had the opportunity to see if the cassette works as I do not have a cassette. Brakes on Front are new and rear is 70% New fuel lines, plugs and NGK plug wires, Cap and rotor. Passed recent smog with flying colors and has never been molested or abused in any way!!!! This is a very rare find to see a car in this condition!!! I bought this for a beautiful addition to my collection, but the wife got pissed and says it goes or she goes.... It was a tough choice to make! The interior has new aftermarket seat covers installed from Z motorsport, as close to original as possible. Actually more attractive than original. It has a dash cove there were a few cracks in the original dash pretty typical for Z cars. All door panels, carpet siwtches ,plastic and interior panels are in excellent condition. It truly looks and smells like New! Wheels are in excellent condition with no curb rash and the tires and battery are brand New. You will not be disappointed in any way! This is a gorgeous original unmolested Zcar!!!! This is a Blue Plate California Car and has spent its entire life in Southern California!!!! Feel free to call with any questions John 970-331-2555 |

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
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."
