This first year 280Z is not restored. It is in stunning survivor, 100% original condition. Likely the nicest, lowest mile example in the country and certainly the nicest available on the market today. This one is for the discriminating collector looking for the very best. Bought new by the recently deceased original owner for his new bride Vicky in 1975. Custom engraved 'Vicky' gear shift knob has been on the car since new and only recently replaced with the original Z 4 speed knob. All records, original sales invoice, original Datsun owner guaranty card, and title substantiate original ownership and are all included. Original key, dealership key ring, owners manual, service booklet, dealership vinyl document pouch, and dealer installed upgraded cassette deck owners manual are included, and in mint original preserved condition. Car itself is absolutely breath taking. Your eyes can't almost believe what they are seeing. I have never in my life seen a metallic original paint look this fantastic. Only due to the full time indoor storage, and extremely low use did it survive like this. No cloudiness, cracking, chipping or thin spots. Paint is amazing. Body is laser straight with a few very minor misc. dings that would easily be fixed with paintless removal (too minor and small to even bother with if it were me and only mentioned at all in the interest of full disclosure). Interior is a mind blower. Still smells new! Flawless dash, carpets, seats, door panels, headliner, rear panels, etc. No fading, stains, or scratches. every, light, heater, lever, wiper, etc works like new. This is an a/c car in it works. Could likely use a charge. 1 extremely small tear the size of quarter exists at the bottom, lower driver side seat back (pictured). You can't even see it unless you look for it and lift on it. Absolutely amazing. Original unused spare tire. Car cover included. Engine compartment is extremely clean and tidy. original engine compartment torpedo light works of course. Just hard to come up with enough new descriptive words to keep from sounding redundant, but under the hood is amazing. The kind of condition every nook and cranny of this car is in can not be duplicated short of a frame off, nut and bolt restoration....and this one is original! The fun only starts at appearance, this car is a turn key, ready to drive, E ticket blast from the past driving experience and needs nothing. Drives as strong and precise as you remember them when they were new. Fast, nimble, and smooth. Flies down the freeway at todays speeds with none of the 30+ year old wind noises, rattles and freeway wondering you might expect. Shifting is also tight and responsive in and out of all 4 gears and reverse with no fussy down shifts, grinding or popping out of gear. Clutch is firm and precise with no hint of slipping. Always maintained at a premium level, this Z car feels almost new behind the wheel. I could go on and on, but take a look at the 118 images here first and feel free to call or email with all follow up questions: http://s761.photobucket.com/user/car-reras/library/280z (916) 813-2124.

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque 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 back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The 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.
