A Colorado State Patrolman stopped me for exceeding the speed limit before half a day had passed with the new plates on it. He says to me (direct quote) "dude, this car is immaculate!" That might have been a bit generous, but only on account of the sub-par paint job. The condition of this car is tough to match otherwise. I've put a new starter and alternator in the car, and it needs nothing. I'd leave for New York in it tomorrow without a thought. It starts, runs, shifts, drives and handles like a factory fresh car. Brakes are good, tires have lots of tread left. All glass is good, everything works. It is bone stock and unmolested right down to the original state of the art stereo cassette factory sound system. Words that come to mind are "keeper", "head-turner", "creampuff", "garage kept", "adult owned". You don't so much own as take stewardship of this car, and truth be known I probably would abort any prospective buyer who was obviously a low class punk who'd wreck it straight away, trying to race it and putting those jive-ass kazoo tailpipe wizzers on it etc. If this is you I got news for you OK, these were never thought of from day one as being out there to compete against real 8 cylinder muscle. Its a quick (for its day), agile, sporty, sexy, great handling and fun to drive classic. Timeless sports car lines. Reliable drive train and solid build quality. 1979 was the first year for the ZX. Its powered by a fuel injected, normally aspirated 2.8 liter in line six cylinder gasoline "push-rod" engine mated with a manual five speed stick shift transmission. The drivetrain typically goes 400-500k before its time to look inside the motor. Of course things like water pumps and so forth aren't expected to have quite that life expectancy, but you know that if you know anything about cars of course. If you love these cars you'll have to love this one. I'd take my oath on it. Clear title in hand. I bought this car because it is identical to my first car, which was my dad's and which he gave to me on my 18th birthday. You can bet only extreme duress would force this truly regrettable sale. Any questions text me first anytime 719-480-5397. Regards, Curt. Thank you for looking. p.s. I also have the plexiglass covers for the front headlight buckets, I took them off cause I didn't care for the looks of them myself.

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.

Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
