Just under 23,000 original miles! The body is in really good shape for a 33 year old car. The original black paint needs buffed in many areas, but buffing should bring it back to life. There are a few very small places that will probably need sanded and painted, mostly in the corners. The red pin-striping is perfect. The t-top windows still fit as snug as the day the car was new. They go in and out easily and they have the sun covers if you want. The slip-covers for the two glass t-tops are still with the car. All of the gages work. The interior is surprisingly sound, except for a few "dry" spots under the shifter. But, I have been slowy bringing it back to life with a product called "Wipe New." The radio works. The retractable antenna works. The cassette player works. The wheel wells behind the rear tires have a little rust. Nothing major, but should probably get some attention. The tires have less than 2,000 thousand miles on them. The battery is new (bought it 2 months ago). You can call me if you have any questions. My work number is 814-849-5334 (ext. 256). My hours are from 9am to 4pm Eastern Time. I am NOT a dealer.

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 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Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least.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.
