1972 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Surprise, Arizona, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1972 Datsun 240Z. The car is in good condition, it idles smoothly, runs, drives, and stops. I used it as a daily driver for a year until I purchased a new car in December 2013. Now it's a weekend car and garage kept. All bushings on the front suspension have been replaced along with the transmission mount, several gaskets, brakes hoses, brake booster, etc. (installed a new larger 1973 booster for better braking still have the old 72 core) I replaced the oil pan gasket too but don't think it seated well it can be reinstalled it's good quality rubber coated, too hot here for me to get out there and redo it.I purchased a set of new ball joints but have not installed them because they are not really needed. I drove in the hot Arizona summer (105 -110 degrees) in heavy traffic and the car did not overheat. I've done quite a bit to the car since purchased. The original radio and antennae are still installed both work (I installed a modern speaker in place of the paper one and still have the original) the air conditioning needs to be reinstalled (needs new pressure hoses previous owner cut them). I have the warranty card from the original owner along with all literature which would have come when purchased new. (see pictures) This car originally had a white interior with white vinyl top. The top was removed prior to my purchasing. I changed the interior due to dryness and sun damage. (see before picture) A few interior items are still needed such as a glove box liner, headliner, new carpet,and weather strip kit. The body on the car is in great shape but does have a couple of minor flaws, and the windshield has a crack starting from a rock chip (truck flung a rock on the freeway). The previous owner let the car sit in the desert sun water was able to leak in to the driver side floor so a small rust hole is at the drain plug area. There is a small rust spot on the passenger fender, and the lip of the rear passenger wheel trim. (see pictures) The under carriage is solid there is absolutely no rust or damage in any of the usual structure areas. I didn't paint the car because I wanted to keep it original and honest. (no bondo, no wrecks) The Odometer reads 90,000 miles (it was 89,000 when purchased) Not sure if this is actual but based on the smoothness of the engine and other inspection, I would say it's accurate but would not swear to it because of no sure prior knowledge. (the car did sit on the previous owners property awhile) The following items are included with the car (see pictures for reference): original steel wheels and hub caps, extra door panel, driver and passenger window regulators, new carburetor rebuild kit (both carbs), new fan blade, new rear brake shoes w/spring kit. Original fuel pump, and a host of other new and used items. This is a great fun car and will be even better once fully restored. Thank you for viewing my auction and happy bidding! On Jul-06-14 at 19:12:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Also included is a new Hot Start Electronic ignition conversion kit. (new points, condenser, spark plugs, plug wires, distributor, and cap are already installed) |

Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
