Up for bid is my 1972 Classic 240z 4 Speed Manual. For those of you who know about Z's, this is one amazing machine. Not only is it gorgeous in style, but the design and quality build make this car ageless and will only increase in value as time goes on. This auction will end Tuesday night.
I bought this Z a couple of years ago and have pretty much been kept it in the garage accept for the occasional weekend drive. I bought it from the grandson of a die-hard Z owner that kept it as original as possible, re-upholstered it and handed it down to his grandson. Unfortunately, hard times forces me to sell. Overall condition is good, but could use a tune-up and a few repairs that I listed below. In fact, this 240z would make a good full restoration project if you wanted to go that far. Engine revs well and transmission shifts smoothly. The car is very light-weight, but having no power-steering gives it that old school feel. Battery is new and the body has few scuffs and scratches on it. Paint job looks to be an aftermarket burnt orange and is still in pretty good shape. There's an aftermarket exhaust and an aftermarket front fascia fairing. Engine looks to be all original accept for an aftermarket ignition. She fires right up with no problems and sounds strong.
The Bad
1. There is rust in the battery compartment area (which I've heard is typical) as seen in the photos
2. Driver side door needs adjustment to close tight
3. Cigarette Lighter, Horn and clock do not work
4. Right lower turn signal needs replacing
5. Dashboard is cracked down the middle
6. AC/Fan/Heater do not work
Background
The Z-series is a Nissan Legacy. This was the original Japanese sports car that started an auto revolution.

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan'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.
