This is a true barn find. this is a 1970 Datsun 240z being sold as part of a Estate sale. this car was found on a Idaho farm last year when the Orginal Owner passed. I bought this car to Florida to restore. I recently found out that I will be transferred to Seattle Washington, as of such I cannot take this car with me. For Z collectors this is the car to have. Its an early year model as evidence by its vin number. As of such it has some unique features that are 70's year only options.

1. the steering wheel is the correct one year only option.

2.The side "Z" badges unique to the 1970's Datsun are both present and in good shape as evidenced by the pictures.

3.The Engine appears to be the Original Engine with 53,000 miles on it and also the correct 2400 stamped one year valve cover ( see pictures)

4. the original am radio is still in the car unmolested

5.The only year only dash and center piece produced just for the 1970 Datsun is still in place, though the dash it self is badly cracked. center piece in good condition.

6.this car has the rare Aqua interior though it needs work only 300.00 came with this interior.

7.the original color of the exterior was Blue ( color code 903)

8.The Hood is a Super Rare racing Hood (note louvers) a Dealer option installed on the 1970 yr only after 70 became a after market option ( see Pictures)

9.This car has the 5 speed Manuel Transmission

10.This car is in running condition I drove it 110 miles without problems

11. does still have the Fiberglass light housings unique to the 1970 Z. Then from 1971 to 1973 they were converted to steel.

Now for its needs:

1,Will need total restoration to make it a 15,000 Dollar car

2. as stated the car runs but will need brake pads and drums

3.has typical rust in various areas: right fender, Left door Jab ( right under it) areas along the front but no rust through areas noted. There is a rust hole in the floor pan where the rubber plugs go but I think its the plug area that has widened over the years. there are no rust issues noted in battery area and frame rails. ( and that's a good thing!)

4 interior pieces are mostly there including door panels.

5.tires are good maybe have still 15,00 miles on them

Car is over all very Solid for a 1970 first year car.

car will obviously need paint current paint job was very amateurish can see original paint in many different areas.

I have tried to describe the car as to the best of my ability. as I know the value of the car if restored if any questions please do not hesitate to contact me 4074842709c

Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.

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.
