Up for sale is this rare Hardtop 280zx. Hardtops are very rare from 1979 and up. I bought this car in the beginning of the year with the sole intent of doing a motor swap. I've never registered the car and now am blessed with twins so project has to go. (also have a Harley Road King for sale). This car was the perfect candidate for a motor swap.....auto/rust free/hardtop! The car was a California car its whole life until 2013 hence it being rust free. I purchased it from a gentleman in Ohio who got it from Cali. He took all moldings and glass off the car and brought it down to the bare metal before painting. I have all pics to prove it. This is my 5th Z and I've never not had one without some rust somewhere, not even above the tail lights when you open the hatch. I included pics of all angles. Obviously there is SURFACE rust on the undercarriage like every car exposed to the elements but no ROT. The interior is just ok, well seats are in good condition and hatch panels were replaced but some dash pieces are not so good.....BUT I will be including the spare replacement parts that are needed to freshen it back up. For instance the plastic on the gauge cluster is scratched and/or foggy. So I will include another gauge cluster. Also the tiny vent on the bottom side of the dash are broke so I will be including those as well The only thing I'm missing is the stainless trim piece that goes around the shifter. The tires are like new and the factory wheels were reconditioned. The car runs and drives and the AC is cold. Power antenna also is functioning. Car has an exhaust leak and sounds like it could use a set of plugs. But as I stated the intention was to do a motor swap, I was purchasing a complete 2JZ drivetrain (same as last gen supra) from Japan. So engine, auto tranny, and ECU average $2300 - $2800. This swap with absolutely no modifications will give you a 150hp increase over stock. Or if you choose throw in a V8 but like I said car runs and drives with no problem. I included as many pics as possible but if there are any others you want let me know.

I will assist in pick up or delivery

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody 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."

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You 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."

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
