I am the second owner of this vehicle. Purchased from the original owner in 1976, 37 years ago (who I interviewed) with 30,000 miles. I drove it from 1976 to 1989 and accumulated 135,553 miles. Have a Holley 4 barrel conversion kit and pre 1973 carburetors (SU Type). Do not have the original 1973 carburetors. Took the car out of service in 1989 and stripped to the body. All of the items taken off the car along with the engine where stored inside. The car was blasted with baking soda and primed. The shop I gave the car to to do the body work went out of business, I was out of the country and never got back to it. The car sat outside covered with a tarp from 1993 to present. All items removed from the running car included. The dash, console, and seats are included although not pictures as they were stored in another location. The dash has 2 cracks on top as they usually do. Seats are in good shape considering age. The aftermarket fiberglass nose kit is shown on the car, the original headlight bezels and front lower cowling are included. The original left front fender is included although dented, a replacement aftermarket left front fender is shown on the car. The car originally came with a York A/C compressor which was swapped for a rotary compressor installed on the lower left side of the engine in the air pump location.

Condition:The body is in good shape, dent free. There is rust around the back of the seat mounts, the rest of the body is sound. Rocker panels are in good shape and sound. Lower fender wells have surface rust but it will sand off, no rust penetrations. See the tapping video. The car was repainted twice. Both times by the owner. The 2nd time it was stripped, zinc chromate primed and finished in Porsche 565 Metallic Silver Acrylic Lacquer.

Original engine and transmission with matching VIN.

Shipping and Payment: Cash Payment. Free on Board, Buyer responsible for picking up, packaging, and transport from Anniston, Alabama. (3 miles off of I-20 Exit 188, available for pick-up between November 21st - 27th only)

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody 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."

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The 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.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The 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.
