1971 Datsun 240z
Clean and clear MO title in my name. I beleive this car was manufactured in June of 1971.
This car was built by me and my step father as a project. The car was first acquired by us in a package deal of
cars, and this car was just a shell of a car, with nice suspension, and a clean looking 280z engine in it.
I spent several (about 7 years) on this project. I spent alot of time dealing with rust and using alot of POR15 on
the frame and interior and front wheel wells. The car was painted in 2010, and I spent the winter of 2010, until may
of 2011 re-assembling the car. In may of 2012 I had the car in the body shop again to repair a crack on the
bottom lip of the fiberglass front air dam. I also had them fit a replacement panel on the hatch deck lid, and
repaint the hood which I was unsatisfied with, and blend in the doors.... basically, just shy of a total repaint.
The car is very well built. I don’t really want to sell it, but I just bought an old building that I am working on
renovating as my studio and living space, so some toys need to go. I put a lot of work, time and money into this
car and it draws looks and comments everywhere it goes. I have a box full of extra parts, and a box full of
receipts and documents from the work.
Engine: I have not done anything to the motor, besides a tune up. It has a 280z Engine with a 5 speed transmission.
It does have an upgraded MSA alternator. Motor runs great, does not burn oil.
Carbs: Carbs have been recently rebuilt, but could use a tune from someone who knows these carbs. It has the
round top SU carbs. Has pod air filters on it currently.
Fuel system: The gas tank was removed and professionally cleaned. A new rubber fuel filler neck was installed.
New red line Holley electric fuel pump installed. Manual choke works.
Brakes: New front rotors, and rebuilt calipers with no squeel-ceramic brake pads. Rear brakes have new
brake drums and brake cylinders. All new brake hardware, except the metal line under the frame.
New brake master cylinder. Recently, the drivers side rear brake has developed a small leak, after sitting
for a while.
Lights: New front and rear running lights. HID front headlights with the upgraded wiring harness from MSA.
2 Fog lights mounted in the front air dam, on a switch. I do not have the interior dome light installed.
The lights in the dash work, but are dim. New battery.
Wheels: Aluminum wheels are in good shape, no major dings, bends or gouges. The tires are all new and matching.
Interior: Vintage leather upholstered seats are in great shape. New front and rear carpets. New black diamond
interior vinyl. Headliner was done in black vinyl by an upholstery shop. Looks great. The dash has some
cracks, but I will include a plastic dash cap from Black Dragon, which I have not installed because I was
going to have the door panels and dash upholstered to match the headliner. Weather stripping is new.
New aircraft release style seat belts. Car does not have sun visors installed currently, because of the
sunroof. All of the plastic is in great shape. New glove box installed.
Body: The body has been professionally painted. The rear of the car and the doors and hood were repainted and
blended in May of 2012, and they did a great job. Both front fenders are new. A replacement panel was fitted
under the hatch where these cars usually rust out. Looks clean and is well done. There are no scratches or
dings. The body and paint on this car is great. Paint is a single stage silver Saab color. Car was painted
apart. Door jams are painted. New locks in the doors. New weatherstripping. All major rust spots were taken
care of. Floor boards are solid. New rear wheel wells were fitted as well as the panels under the door.
A couple of years were spent on the body work of this car. The front fender badges are new, the hood and
hatch emblems have been shaved, and the pillar badges are vintage, and not in show condition. I used a
lot of Dynamat sound deadening material on the interior of the car. The dash console is in good shape.
Original ashtray is there. Heater console face is in great shape, But i do not currently have the heater
hooked up completely as I was going to take the dash out again at some point to reupholster it and
get the dash lights bright again. Front Air dam is an MSA Type III.
This 240z does feature an aftermarket sunroof. The sunroof did open, but began sticking so I haven’t opened it.
There is a place in Kansas City that can install a new one for $599.
Suspension: Car still has the standard shocks that were on it. New tie bar ends have been installed.
Exhaust: Car has a performance stainless coated exhaust header, and a new custom exhaust which was
installed by KC Brake & Muffler, and sounds great.
Please contact me with any questions. Car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Car must be picked up in Kansas City. Buy is responsible for pick up or delivery arrangements and costs. Non refundable $500 deposit due within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Thanks!

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.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:
