Datsun 280zx Turbo By Nissan 1983 T-top Rare 280z 280 Zx 240z 260z 240 Z on 2040-cars
Saint Marys, Georgia, United States
It's hard for me to do this, but I'm offering up for sale my Datsun 1983 280ZX TURBO by Nissan (has both Datsun and Nissan badging). My father bought this back in the '90's and then gifted it to me a few years later. It's been loved for a long time and is a ton of fun, but sometimes we have to give up our fun. I'm in the military and deploy often so I do not have to time to tinker with my baby and be the father and husband I need to be. That said, about the car:
Starts and runs well. This engine could take a bullet and keep going. The five speed transmission shifts well and the turbo spools and the engine pulls hard. With the tops off on a sunny day, this car is a dream to drive. It regularly turns heads and always gets comments in the drive-thru, parking lot, and gas station. Even at stop lights. These sporty cars are getting harder and harder to find and everybody loves them. There is a ding above the left rear fender (my dad recently did that...painful, but it was fair retribution for when I scratched his '77 280z when I was a teenager) and some minor rust with some paint blistering (see pics). There are a couple scuffs on the passenger seat leather with the driver's seat in good condition. Has rubber floor mats. Has an occasional electric gremlin causing the car to idle rough until it warms up. If you have ANY questions, please ask and I'll do my absolute best to answer. This car is worth far more than the opening bid with no reserve, but it's priced for a quick sale. If you're looking for a stylish commuter or fun toy, this is a great option. Happy Bidding:) |

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
