Hi All.

HISTORY

-'72 Datsun 240z

-date of manufacture: 9/71

-second owner, bought in Atlanta 2001. The original owner passed and I purchased it from his daughter. The original owner, George, was an airline mechanic with Delta AIrlines. The front bumper has a small Delta sticker which must stay on the car!

-roughly 2000 miles put on the Z since I purchased it.

-have original sales receipt- in photos

SPECS

-Mostly original minus:

weber dgv carbs put on by original owner. I do not have original SU carbs
front air dam and headlight scoops-seen in pictures. I do not have original headlights/ scoops
car was repainted in early 80's. It is the original color.

CONDITION

-The Z runs and drives well. It is not registered or inspected at this time. I put roughly 100 miles on it this Spring.

-The Z burns a small amount of oil. The engine has not been touched. Compression is good and consistent across all cylinders. I am not talking clouds of black smoke, just puffs under heavy throttle.

-The oil and temperature gauges are finicky. When operable, oil psi is about 45 psi at 2000rpm.

-No fluid leaks, no puddles/ stains on garage floor.

-The Z is equipped with air conditioning as a dealer installed option. It is not operable, but compressor does engage.

-The original radio works. I have a replacement power extendable antennae installed. The switch on the radio to raise/lower the antennae is not sending power to antennae as of this Spring, antennae is operable when powered directly.

-I've replaced the brake master cylinder, both rear wheel cylinders, alternator and voltage regulator over the years. That's it.

-I've documented the rot as best I can in pictures. I've bondo'ed in front of both rear tires behind rocker panels. Both front fenders in front of rocker panels have bondo. The hatch area is in good shape. A few bubbled have popped up around fuel fill area.

-The windshield rubber needs replacement.

-The floors are solid.

-The undercarriage is solid.

-The drivetrain is solid, shifts well, no clunks, grinding of any kind.

REASON FOR SELLING

My nights and weekends are consumed coaching youth football, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse. While I wouldn't have it any other way, I just don't have time to take care of this Z I truly love. I've owned Z's since high school. This is far and away my favorite and really really hoped to restore it. She needs a good home. A little TLC and she's good to go. Also a great candidate for restoration. The lime yellow is uncommon and really sharp. Having the original sales receipt and some hand written maintenance logs from George is pretty special.

Thanks for looking and don't hesitate with questions.

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.

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:

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
