1972 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States
|
1972 Datsun 240Z I acquired this car from the original owner. People have asked me if I plan to paint it. The answer is no. The car has perfect patina and gets tons of looks. It was purchased in the fall of 1972 and spent most all of its life in Hollywood FL. The vehicle received the ZIEBART treatment shortly after purchase…hence the reason there is very little rust. The entire underbody has been undercoated. The engine is original with 112K miles. The bottom end was rebuilt at 100K. I installed new seat foam, seat covers, carpet, and vinyl. I also have the black plastic that goes on the inner door kick plate area. The plastic trim, headliner, and door panels are all original and in really good shape. The dash has a very small straight crack in it that can be repaired. The original 8-Track player is still in place, but I haven’t got it to work. The chrome is in really good condition. All the lights and signals work great. I have the rear window visor as well. I removed all the suspension from beneath the car and blasted it. I then coated everything in POR-15. I installed new poly bushings. I also installed Eibach lowering springs with Tokico performance shocks. The wheels are Rota RB’s and the tires have less than 100 miles on them. I also have the original steel wheels and spare tire that are in new condition, but I do not have the hubcaps. I dropped the fuel tank, cleaned it and replaced all the rubber hoses. I also replaced the fuel lines under the hood. The brakes are “all new”. It has the original rotors and calipers, but I rebuilt everything and installed all new hoses and a new reservoir. On the rear the car has the original aluminum drums and I replaced all the brake internals and shoes. When I brought the car home a couple years ago, it had sat for about 4 years prior. I replaced the oil, plugs, wires, and cleaned the points and it fired right up. I haven’t done any tuning on the car to dial in the carbs. The car runs out great though and will easily cruise highway speeds all day long. It could use a pressure plate because the clutch engagement is not smooth. Also, the brakes require more force due to the broken vacuum line on the master cylinder…an easy fix that I haven’t got around to. Those are the only 2 items that come to mind. I really had no intention of ever parting with this car, but I have to. I just hope the next person enjoys it as much as I have. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. If you have fewer than 2 feedbacks or negative feedback, please contact me before bidding…otherwise your bid will be cancelled. Thank you for looking! |

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.

Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
