This is probably one of the classiest, best looking, best running and cleanest 1977 Datsun Z 's you will ever see listed for sale anywhere. Everything on this car is in mint condition, New Struts, New Brakes, New Header Exhaust System, New Mufflers, New Fuel Injectors and New Aluminum Radiator, I could go on. The inside of the car like Headliner, Carpet, Seats, Doors, Console and Gauges are immaculate. This Vehicle has an extremely nice Pioneer AM/FM CD Player Radio with a one of a kind sound system, you will never see or hear one like it. It also has a Radar Detector plus all kinds of extras like manually controlled Fuel Injector Cooling Fan and Engine Cooling Fan. Take a close look under the Hood, nothing is out of place, Brackets are chromed even the Alternator is chromed. The color of the car is Silver Grey with very tasteful blue striping, pay close attention to the Wheels and Tires, they are unique and original by themselves, note the Z in the Center of Hub, even the Valve Stems have Chrome Caps with a Z on them. 90% of all the nuts and bolts have been replaced with Allen Head Stainless Steel, if you want the original Nuts and Bolts I have them also. As you can see the car is also equipped with the old style Rear Hatchback Window Louvers, plus Air Dam and Headlight Covers. Take special Notice of the Grille, there is not one single Datsun anywhere with a Grille like this one, yet it can easily be converted back to the original grille if you so desire. I have known this car since 1978 it was owned by my insurance agent who bought it for his wife; but she didn't like it because it did not have power steering. He sold it to a friend of mine who didn't drive it and kept it garaged until I bought it from him in 1993. The mileage on this Datsun is 78,661 it has never been in an accident and has always been parked inside, there is no body rust anywhere on this car. I have given this car a lot of care representing many hours and lots of dollars, I have enjoyed every minute of it; but it is now time for someone else to have the enjoyment I have experienced. Also please not that the Clock has a Second Hand and Date, there are not too many, if any 1977 Datsun 280 Z 's out there with that kind of clock. please be advised this Vehicle is not a California Model, therefore it is not equipped with a Catalytic Converter or an Altitude Compensator. |

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
