1971 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Year:1971
Mileage:87659
Location:
Colville, Washington, United States
|
Up for auction is this 1971 Datsun 240Z. I rescued it from the back yard of the previous owner who had owned it for the past 25 or so years. She brought it up from California to Idaho several years ago and after a few years she parked it and that is where it sat for the past several years. Cosmetically it is in very good unrestored shape. It has a nice driver quality paint job with American Racing wheels and good tires. The body is very straight. The only rust through I have found is a very small area on the passenger side floor pan, shown in one of the pictures. The head liner and rear plastic panels are in good shape. The rear carpet is in place and in good shape. It is missing the front floor board carpets. The seats are in very good shape also. The driver’s seat has a small imperfection on the lumbar pad as seen in the picture. The dash has some cracking also. The original tool kit, jack and Nissan wheel chocks are in place in the rear compartment. Speedometer doesn’t seem to be accurate and the clock doesn’t work either. The rest of the gauges seem to work fine. The stereo doesn’t currently work. This is a factory optioned air conditioning car. The air conditioning pump is missing off the engine, so currently it doesn’t work but all controls are in place. The heater has been by-passed and the heater core removed so currently the heater isn’t operational. The engine still has the original smog pump on it and operational. I have a folder of maintenance records from the previous owner. The car currently has 87,659 original miles on it. I have receipts showing the engine was rebuilt around 40,000 miles ago. Since it has sat for some time I added some Sea Foam to it and have ran it around for a bit and it seems to run very good. It has a lot of power and I think with a simple tune up, some tlc and just running it some more it will be an awesome driver. The brakes work great too. The original 4 speed transmission was replaced with a 5 speed. The original 4 speed transmission is included with the auction. The clutch seems to be in need of replacement soon although I am not a mechanic and that is only my unprofessional opinion! The throw-out bearing is making some noise and the clutch doesn’t have much play at all before engaging. It is still drivable and shifts through all the gears. This is a great classic Z that will make an awesome daily driver or easily taken to the next level. I have a clean and clear Washington state title in my name and ready to sign over to the new owner. This is a NO RESERVE auction so bid to win and good luck! Auction Requirements: $500.00 non-refundable Paypal deposit due within 48 hours of winning auction. Balance owing due within 7 days of winning auction. Preferable form of payment for the balance is by money order or cashiers check, Paypal as a last resort due to high fees. The title to the 240Z will be sent to the new owner once full payment is received. Shipping arrangements, from it's current location here in Colville, Washington, are the full responsibility of the new owner. I will assist with the loading of the car if needed. Being that it is a 43 year old vehicle, and one that I haven't driven much more than a total of 10 miles since I've owned it, I would highly suggest shipping it if it's any distance. Bidders with 0 feed back NEED to contact me PRIOR to placing a bid or your bid will be erased and blocked. I want it to be fair for true interested people and I don't want to waste anybody's time. |

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."
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.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
