This would make an awesome project car for anyone looking to restore a rare and coveted Datsun 240z. While it needs a bit of work the car was running when I parked it, though it would probably need some work to get it running solid at this point. The exterior is in good shape considering the age with a very unique paint job. The clear coat is faded as you can see in the pictures, and there is minor rust in various locations. The body is primarily in good shape all things considered, though the bumpers could use work or replacing. There is some primer on the drivers side front fender where the paint was scratched years ago. The interior needs a good cleaning and restoration work. This car was built before they moved away from the dual single barrel carbs, and has the inline 6 engine with the 4 speed manual transmission. It would need new tires as well. This isn't a road ready car, but as far as projects go this is perfect for either the hobbyist or enthusiast.

The car is listed for sale locally and this listing will be removed in the event it sells. I will be glad to help in any way I can to get the car shipped if need be, though all costs and setup are the responsibility of the buyer. While I feel this car has a huge amount of potential and isn't in terrible shape I have to list it as is where is due to the age and because I don't know enough about cars to figure out a detailed list of what it needs. With that said, I believe this is definitely your chance to have a fun restoration project that will leave you with a car worth much more then what you'd pay buying one already restored from someone else.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least.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.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.
