1971 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, United States
|
This 240Z was originally purchased in VA and was brought to NC when the original owner retired. I have the original sales receipt (actually has 2 – one showing it as a 1972 and the correct one showing it as a 1971), window sticker, warranty card, radio manual, Manufacturers Statement of Origin, vehicle order form and owner’s manual. It was undercoated when it was new and not driven in the winter time so this Datsun is in superb shape. It still maintains its original driveline (engine, 4 speed transmission and rear end), and runs/drives well. It currently has Nissan wheels from a late 70’s 280Z. The original steel wheels and hubcaps come with the car. The car had one repaint in the original silver color. The seat bottom and seat back on the driver side as well as the seat bottom of the passenger side were replaced with original seat covers. I have the passenger seat back that comes with the car. The car does not have its original radio – the original owner had it replaced and put speakers in the door panels. Sadly the original radio was misplaced. Aside from that, the interior is original and is in great shape for the age of the car. There are 2 cracks on the dash that are shown in the picture. It also needs a rear hatch strut. Bumpers, exterior molding and emblems do show their age. They are presentable for a driver vehicle, but, could be replaced to make it nicer. If I were keeping the car I would replace the shifter boot, foot rest and rear carpet as it shows more age/wear than the rest of the interior parts. All gauges work except for the clock. Mechanically the car is in great shape. You can see from the pictures that the engine is stock, and extremely clean for a 42 year old vehicle with 110K miles. The car is currently located just south of Wilmington NC. I’m happy to email any additional pictures you’d like to see. Please email if you have any questions. |

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody 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."

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
