Datsun 240z Coupe on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
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 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.
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody 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."
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
