Early Production 6/70

This 1970 Datsun 240Z Sports Coupe is an original, early production 6/70, unrestored "survivor" with absolutely NO RUST and one repaint in the correct paint #904 Kilimanjaro White. It was sold new in Georgia, cherished by its two previous owners and has never been a "daily driver".

The original 2.4 liter 6-cylinder engine is 100% factory stock and unmodified. It still retains its original E31 cylinder head, dual Hitachi round-top carburetors and factory air cleaner assembly. The engine starts easily, quickly settles into a smooth idle and pulls cleanly through the rev range under acceleration. There are no mechanical issues..... no smoke, no leaks, no noises. The factory 4-speed manual transmission shifts effortlessly. The car starts, runs and drives without drama of any kind.

The factory A/C system blows cold air. A/C high pressure hose and receiver drier were replaced and refrigerant recharged in 2004.

The following maintenance has been performed on the car in the last few years: Replaced front brake pads, rotors, calipers and brake lines. Flushed brake fluid. Replaced fuel pump, fuel filter,fuel lines, water pump, radiator fan clutch, engine belts and battery. Installed new front & rear KYB shocks. Installed new Yokohama Avid tires on new Panasport wheels.

The car has a well preserved interior with reclining bucket seats in the correct and original upholstery. The original dashboard and center console are in excellent condition with no cracks. The factory tachometer and speedometer operate properly as do the gauges for oil pressure, amperes and coolant temperature. The original wood rim steering wheel, interior panels and headliner are also in excellent condition. The factory radio is still installed and functional. Overall, a very nice and correct early interior.

The body of the car retains all its original body panels and is in great condition with no dents or dings. The car had the "Ziebart Rustproof Protection" process applied when new and retains all the original yellow plugs in the door jambs and rear hatch area to cover the holes drilled to complete the rustproofing process. I can find no evidence of previous body damage, body repair or rust. One older respray in the correct Kilimanjaro White paint was done years ago and is beginning to show its age. Two very small sections of paint are beginning to "lift" at the right rear quarter panel behind the fuel filler door. The chrome bumpers are in great original condition with no pitting. All glass is original and in good condition. As mentioned above, the car has been fitted with brand new Panasport alloy wheels......the one and only deviation from factory stock configuration.

Overall, an incredibly well-preserved, gently driven, original spec, early production car with no excuses. After owning, cherishing and enjoying the car for 10 years and 6936 miles the time has come to sell. The car is available for viewing, by appointment, at my home in Naples, Florida.

The car will be sold to the highest bidder @ NO RESERVE.

I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is currently for sale locally.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those 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 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."

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A 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:
