Up for sale is a very nice 1973 Datsun 240Z. It has a March 1973 build date, which is when Datsun set about making some improvements to the electronics, wiring, and chassis. The car only has 28,500 miles!

I also have two spares which I can sell with the car.) Flaws: - Very small amount of surface rust on front left fender. Needs to be sanded down and repainted. -Speedometer reads the wrong speed. -Tachometer doesn't work. It needs to be converted to the later 280Z speedometer to work with the electronic ignition. I have the tachometer and will include it with the car. Overall, it's a great car. It does have some flaws which are listed, but they are all minor and don't impede the driving experience or cause too much of a problem. I've been driving it as is and have had no issues. The title on this vehicle is rebuilt. I got the car with a salvage title and turned it into a rebuilt after going through a tedious inspection in Florida. The body is straight, the car tracks true, and it has never been in an accident. The reason for the rebuilt title is because the car has been purchased from a junkyard in 1992 and was saved from getting destroyed. I will be including all the documentation I have for the vehicle. My reason for selling is because I am looking for a different type of classic vehicle, preferably American muscle. Text or call Leo at 904-993-5659 with any questions. Update: No longer my daily driver, I bought a motorcycle. Miles won't be increasing as fast as they used to. |

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:

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
