1972 240Z Production date of 10/71 Originally a California Car No signs of any accidents This is the cleanest unmolested Z that I have ever seen. It is very rare to find a Z as complete as this one with Factory parts. Almost every other 240Z that I have come across has the seats recovered, after market carpet kits, and rust repairs There is no rust on the car The car has been repainted once in its original Orange. Paint is over 12 years old and is shiny but not perfect. A few chips, light scratches Air conditioning The interior is in great shape with the original seats (in perfect shape and not recovered) and original carpet. The door panels have been replaced with NOS ($1000.) Too many NOS parts to list. Some examples being: Full exhaust Starter Fuel pump Door panels Bumper mounts All front end bushings Tail lights Brake master cylinder coil Nissan reman distributor The frame is in mint shape with no repairs or undercoating covering up rust. Windshield is chip and scratch free Perfect headliner The dash has no cracks but has been repaired in a couple of places. Battery tray is clean Rebuilt
motor Rebuilt polished SU Carbs Rebuilt 4 speed tranny with new clutch. Shifts like a dream. Brand new 15" Rota rims in Hyberblack with Yokohama tires. Tires fit perfect with no rubbing. The car also comes with the Stock wheels and Hub caps with Radial T/A's Brand new Eibach springs and KYB struts on all 4 corners. The car also comes with the original springs which I can have put back in if you prefer. Hidden 2 way paging alarm with immobilizer The car runs and drives great. All of the U-joints are tight with Zero clunks I have all of the records for the car since 1989. Previous owner spent $$$ replacing anything he could with Nissan New Old Stock parts. Original radio and working power antenna The car is stock except for the Wheels, springs, camber adjust and bump steer spacers. ( The clock has been replaced with an identical looking battery powered unit. When the previous owner went to rebuild the motor the mechanic told him that one of the cylinders would have to be bored. He was not comfortable with this. Instead he had a separate block rebuilt and stored the original numbers matching block. This block will be included in the sale. The air con needs to be recharged. The previous owner said that it will hold a charge for 2 years. It is 40 years old and has hose clamps instead of threaded fittings. The car has a custom tonnue cover in the back hatch area that can easily be removed (snaps) The car is located in Vancouver Canada, which is a 3 hour drive from Seattle. I will try to ad a video of the car running and driving in the next couple of days. All of the pictures in the ad are current I have added pictures of the frame, very few of the sellers add these.This in my opinion is the most critical part of the car. If they have been repaired or replaced the rest of the car will have rust as well. Do not be fooled by New shiny repaints There is much more to this car than in the ad. If you are serious about purchasing the car reply with your phone number for more info. |

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
