1977 Datsun 280z 2 Owner Rare 5 Speed Transmission Sunroof Coupe on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
|
Let me start off by giving you a little background on the 280z.This was the last incarnation of the first generation S30 body style. It featured an engine displacement enlargement of 2.8 L from the 2.6L in the 260z . A major change was the introduction of Bosch fuel injection, replacing the previous SU carburetors. This resulted in a power increase to 170 hp (127 kW), offsetting increased weight from added luxury features and an enlarged bumper that met US Federal regulations. 1977 and 1978 models received bumpers with recessed channels added to the faces of the bumpers themselves, that blended into corrugated or accordion style black rubber extension trim. Also new for the 1977 model year, 280Zs no longer received the full size spare tire, and instead had a "space saver" spare and a larger fuel tank.The 1977 was the last year was of the 280z and was replaced in 1978 by the 280zx.
I have owned this z for about 2 weeks. I bought this car as a surprise early graduation gift for my 6 foot 7 inch son, unfortunately he doesn't fit well into it and i need to sell this beauty. I bought it from the 2nd owner who owned it for about 10 years and bought it from the original owner as a mid life crisis vehicle. He babied and took care of this vehicle the entire time he owned it. He only put about 2k miles on it the entire time he owned it and drove it only when it was nice outside.He took off the rear window louvers off the car because he didn't like the way they looked. this 280z has been an oregon car its whole life.It has the rare optional 5 speed transmission, a/c, and sunroof. I have been unable to find any rust on this car beside the small spot of surface rust about the size of a quarter on the front bumper. This car runs and drives excellent. the paint is in great condition.this vehicle still has the original space saver spare tire and air inflator. The only thing wrong with the car is that it needs some windshield wiper motors as they are not working at the moment. The vehicle comes with an extra door handle,rear window louvers, fuel pump and a couple of manuals for the car.If you are worried about appearances then you may want to recover the drivers seat and put in a new carpet kit.the reason for those things is because the carpet in the rear of car is ripped in spots and the drivers seat has a few tears. if you are looking for a great looking and driving car for the summer or a perfect car for the graduate in your life this is the one you are looking for. for more information please call 5032009906 On May-08-14 at 17:56:17 PDT, seller added the following information: If you need to get approved for a loan to purchase the vehicle please do so prior to bidding. if you need to inspect the vehicle please do it before auction ends.once auction completes you enter into a contract to purchase the vehicle.

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.
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."
Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque 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 back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
