(This is a non running, non operable vehicle). This is a rare "Barn Find" ....except it has not been in a barn but stored in a nice dry facility since 1993. During the past 20 years it has not seen rain, snow, sleet, the sun or any other similar elements! This is an unmolested original car and is probably the nicest restorable Datsun z that I have seen in this area! It is a 3 owner car. The vehicle is 99% complete...I can only find that the radio, the inspection covers for the taillights, spare tire, shift boot, and a Z emblem are missing! The body is exceptional, and I see no sign of accident except for the rocker panel under the driver door (see photo). Paint is very good, and could probably be buffed out to look nice....sorry, but I cannot explain the primer shown. Very little rust, except where shown in photos, and these are only small surface rust spots....I've tried to show all of this in the photos. INTERIOR: Door panels appear as new. Dash has typical splits for this age era. Seats are great, except the cushions/bottoms need recovering. Steering wheel, console and other dash components appear to be in nice shape. Rubber around windshield, back glass and doors appear to be in exceptional condition and do not need replacing. This car is equipped with air conditioning.

ENGINE AND DRIVE COMPONENTS: Brakes are not locked up and car rolls freely. E-brake operates as it should. Clutch pedal feels good and 4 speed transmission shifts as you would expect. A battery was connected and THE ENGINE TURNS OVER FREELY WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. No, it did not start...as should be expected of a vehicle parked for 20 years! However, the owner indicated it was running well when he replaced the vehicle with another and parked this z in 1993. The tires are the same ones as when the car was parked 20 years ago...they have plenty of tread but are dry rotted and are not suitable for the road.

A 77 front bumper was on the car, but removed for towing. You may have your choice of the 77 bumper or the original 76 bumper.

This is a great car for anyone who wants to make it into a very nice and driveable z car...with the stock motor or a V8. The car is in amazing shape but you be the judge, based upon the photos shown. This is a difficult car to find, not because of its age but its condition. Clear title is available for transfer.

Please email me should you have questions. If you are near Greensboro, NC I would be delighted to show you the vehicle.

A Paypal deposit of $200.00 is required within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days in the form of cashiers check, bank transfer, or money order.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When 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.

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."
