1979 Datsun 280zx on 2040-cars
Williamston, North Carolina, United States
|
I am selling this 1979 Datsun 280ZX for a friend of mine. It drives like a new car and is incredibly quick for an automatic. I own 3 280Zxs and have been amazed by this one. It is, essentially, rust-free and so very solid. It has all of the power options that the "Grand Luxury" package offered: power windows, cruise control (it works), air-conditioning(it works), rear window wiper, computer monitoring system and also, the rare auto window up or down feature. There was a small amount of rust (see photos) at the base and above the windshield that has been treated (see photos). This area will need paiting (it is in primer-- see photos)-- also, there is one small surface rust spot on the right front of the hood (see photo) This Z has a modern aftermarket AM/FM stereo with a CD player. The Z has it's original "jersey" covered seats which are far more comfortable than velour. The left rear tail light has a small hole in it. It has the desired 5 spoke wheels (and the original ones can come with the car if the buyer wants them). This is an incredibly solid 280ZX that in many ways is a time capsule. Today, it is so rare to see a 280ZX on the road and everyone stares and most people do not know what it is. These cars are so reliable and trouble-free and are truly coming into their own as a true classic sports car. Bid on this car with confidence. It's a great example.

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Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least.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.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

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.
