All controls and factory dash settings still there should buyer wish to restore it. The body: The overall condition of the exterior is quite nice, considering alot of these cars have mostly rusted or rotted away. This car is beautiful and shows well. The doors shut with a solid THUMP! The car is solid and does not show any signs of any accidents. Previous owners states no previous damage and it really shows. It did have a new fresh respray paint job and although it shows well and shines up nicely after detail, it is not concourse to my concerning eyes. Of course with all early Zs there are some under surface rust but on this vehicle it appears minimal. It has been garaged mainly and enjoyed and fair climate. This car gets alot of attention. It gets photographed alot at Vintage car events, such as Cars & Coffee and concourse d'elegance, etc.. It currently has some vintage late 60s early 70s race inspired removeable vinyl decals. I had it entered in some vintage classic car shows. It also wears some rare hard to find "432" emblems in honor of the successful early nissan factory team racers. This is a rare opportunity to own an appreciating entry level collector classic. Values keep climbing and projected to continue to climb. Please see what Hagerty has to say about early Datsun S30 Zs. History of the 1975-1978 Datsun 280ZDatsun’s brilliant 240Z was really the The real solution to emission laws came with the introduction of the fuel injected 280Z in 1975. The addition of a license-built Bosch L-Jetronic injection to the inline six-cylinder engine, plus a displacement increase of 200 cc, returned the Z car to roughly 1970 levels of performance. The 280Z would have performed even better had federal impact bumpers and additional equipment like All things considered, however, the 280Z is much closer to the original 240 than most people realize and it’s certainly a more sporting car than the 280ZX of 1979, with which it is often confused. Aside from the big bumpers, the coupe is a direct descendant of the 240Z, with little changed in the interior except for a fully integrated and effective air conditioner The earlier Any Z is a mechanically simple and robust car with good parts availability, and a lot of fun to drive. Bodies that are especially rust-prone are the Z cars Achilles heel, but high production numbers mean that there are still plenty of rust-free examples available. All of these factors help keep Datsun 280Z values in the affordable range, and make the car a great candidate for an entry-level collectible car. The car has a free and clear title. Buyer can inspect vehicle at anytime prior to purchase. Shipping is responsible by the buyer but I will help assist. Additional pics can be requested and provided. Also I may be able to make a video to serious inquirers. All offers will be considered. Car comes with hard to find factory set of early 240z wheel cap covers included in sale. The steel wheels were repainted in black and brand new set of chrome lug sets giving a refreshing new look. The factory bumpers were removed but can accompany the sell should buyer chose. please note: The windshield as well as all glass on vehicle are in excellent shape. All of the gauges including fuel, temperature, tachometer, speedometer, oil pressure, voltage meter, as well as even the clock all work and function normally. |

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
