1971 Datsun 240Z Series 1

On February 23rd, 1971 Fred Moore purchased this Datsun brand new. This is a true one owner car, that I purchased from Fred over a month ago. In 1988, it was the last time the Datsun was driven, Fred parked it, because it had a universal joint going out. It sat in his garage until a month ago, untouched.

I have not tried to start the car, it does turn over. this car is super original, and was re-painted in the early 80's Silver. it is originally Lime Green.

Body:
There is a little rust in the car, but floor pans and spare tire well seem to be perfect.
There is a dent in the driver door, I think this can be removed easily.
All glass is original Datsun glass.
In the late 70's, Fred's wife backed into the car, at that time, an orange fender and hood from a 1973 240Z was put on.

Interior:
The interior is in amazing original condition.
The driver seat shows all of the wear, and the carpet is a little faded. Besides that, the interior is pristine.
There are no cracks in the dash.
Car still has original AM radio.
Driver door panel is a little curled at the bottom.
The original jack as well as the original wheel chocks are behind the seat in original position.
The tire tools are in their proper bag.
I was told when you bought these cars, you got a quart of touch up paint, which there is a quart of paint in the car.

Tires/Wheels:
The original Series 1 hubcaps are on the car, although the rims that are on the car are not the originals. But, I do have the 4 original rims.
The tires are old and dry rotted.

Drive Train:
Under the hood, the car is completely original, and does turn over.
Transmission shifts
The car has very little brakes.
I have not tried to start car.

This car deserves a complete restoration.

The build date was December 1970.

This car has the vents on the rear deck lid, instead of behind the side windows.

This is a no reserve auction.

I can help load the car for the shipper, buyer is responsible for paying for shipping.

Call me with any questions at 859-621-0445.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The 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.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
