This 240z is in really nice condition. It was repainted with a good driver quality pearl white that really looks great under the sun. The body is extremely straight without any dents or noticeable scratches, however; there are a few minor niks here and there, but nothing of major concern. There are only two small dings on the entire body and they are very, very faint. There is one area where the paint has bubbled right underneath the gas cap as shown in the photos, it is very small. While the outside was repainted, the door jambs, engine compartment and the rear hatch were untouched. The door jambs do have some paint that chipped off and they show some surface rust which has been treated with POR 15. This is a fairly easy fix. The frame and the floors are solid. I do have the front and rear bumpers along with the original grille that will come with the car. I just prefer the Z aesthetically without the bumpers. The grille is in very good condition as is the rear bumper, however; the front bumper is pitted and could use a little restoration. The front and rear window seals have seen better days and are looking a little tatty and should be replaced eventually.
The interior is in real nice shape. The seats are original and have zero tears and look great. The dash has one small crack just above the three pod gauge cluster and all the gauges are in good operating order except for the clock. The carpets are in good condition with really the only wear showing right behind the pedals. The rear hatch panels do have some cracking, but it's not terrible and is something that I would replace eventually. The headliner is excellent. All lights, turn signals and wipers are in working order as well and comes with an after market radio.
The car mechanically is in excellent condition. The numbers matching engine starts right up and runs very strong. It accelerates effortlessly without any hesitation. It has had all smog equipment removed and has been upgraded with weber carbs, headers and exhaust. This Z sounds awesome. The car has been lowered about an inch and handles tight. The front tires have lots of tread remaining, but the rear tires should be replaced soon. The brakes work as they should and the original 4 speed transmission shifts nice and smooth and is very engaging.
Overall this is a very nice Z that looks great and can be driven daily and enjoyed right off the bat. It would be a very easy and inexpensive restoration when your budget permits or you could just leave it as is and enjoy. I've described the car to the best of my abilities , but please keep in mind that this car is over 40 years old. Please ask any and all questions before placing any bids if you have any concerns.

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.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
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.
