Restoration car in progress, have to sell, has recent paint job done, been with the previous owner for over 15 years, the last 2 years was in storage, have all the paperwork, service and mechanical things done to the car from 1995 to this date.

The mechanics have been done by the nice people of Sam's Datsun and J&S Hot wheels in San Fernando Valley California. Its a California car, strong engine and fun to drive. Any questions just contact me. If you ask me why I'm selling, very simple i thought I could restore it but i work in appliances all day and i can not do more mechanics in my time off and this labor its not as therapeutic as i thought. Tires are 80 %, has original Z hub caps and covers, all exterior trims. |

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."
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
