United States
|
Recently discovered still in possession of the orignal owner, ths 280ZX has to be one of the finest unmolested original examples in existence. Authentic documented 5300 miles from new and perfect storage conditions over the cars 33 year life result in this time capsule find. A very recent total service has just been completed and this runs, drives and performs as good as it looks. Still riding on the orignal raised white letter Bridgestone tires that show minimal wear from their 5300 miles of use. This car was always covered in a climate controlled environment so all of the rubber and plastic trim has no damage or deterioration whatsoever. The leather is soft and supple showing no wear or damage and absolutely has no dye work ever done. Carpets are flawless. Dash pad, switch gear, console controls and steering wheel appear as brand new. All Weatherstripping is pliable and shows no age deterioration. Every single gauge, light, accessory and option operate properly as you would expect. The cars mechanical condition is commensurate with the cosmetics. It runs smooth and quiet, good performance, no leaks or other issues are present, Gearbox and clutch operate properly and brakes are fully functional. We would advise caution for excessive speed on the original 33 year old tires but they appear fine and were off the ground in the cars long term storage. The chassis componentry and underhood pictures should demonstrate how well this car was cared for over the years. Very dry storage prevented any oxidation of all of the aluminum and plated pieces and as you see the car appears both underhood and underside to be a near brand new car. There are absolutly zero modifications from factory build on this car. It is 100% bone stock original.

Datsun Redi-Go is reborn brand's first concept car [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Nissan's plan for its reborn Datsun sub-brand just got a shot in the arm, as the emerging-market manufacturer has unveiled its first concept car since its resurrection back in 2012. Called the Redi-Go Concept, it looks like a high-riding version of Datsun's recently launched Go hatchback that's been fitted with a few concept car cues (not a bad thing).
The Redi-Go packs LED taillights, Datsun's "D-cut grille" and LED running lights into its Go-inspired body. Funky two-tone 15-inch wheels add a bit of cheek to the overall design, and in our minds look quite good, despite being so small. The ruggedized front and rear bumpers, as well as the sill and wheel arch surrounds add to the Redi-Go's rough-and-tumble aesthetic. We like that Datsun has kept the overall package short, giving the Redi-Go a 92.5-inch wheelbase, rather than creating a lifted version of the upcoming Go+. There are no specific mentions of the Redi-Go's mechanicals, although we'd wager that a production model might share the 1.2-liter engine and five-speed manual found in the standard Go.
While it might be easy to dismiss a concept like the Redi-Go in America, there's no denying its importance to the Indian market, which is decidedly more limited when it comes to available bodystyles. "If we were to make a car like Datsun Redi-Go Concept it would be a segment creator in India, an aspirational car that at the same time is attainable, a car that would be within reach of the first time buyer. This concept shows how serious we are about reinvigorating the market by catering for the needs of a growing class of Indians who have the chance to own a family car that will enable them to enjoy a new sense of independence," said Vincent Cobee, the global head of Datsun.
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:

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
