1975 Datsun 280z The Toy Barn is thrilled to offer this beautiful 1975 Datsun 280z, in excellent condition, and ready for it's new owner! This Z-car is great, and certainly a trip down memory lane. It was a recent trade-in here at our store, from a true Z enthusiast that traded this and a 1983 for the finest '83 Turbo on the planet. Interestingly enough, when I saw this car in person, I was very pleased; this car is a fantastic car to own and drive. The paint and body were redone, the interior was redone and looks excellent, the car runs, drives, and feels awesome out on the road, and from top to bottom the car looks great. History: This Z started it's life delivered at a Datsun dealership in Richmond, Va in August of 1975. We have a full file of receipts and history, starting with the process of parts accumulation and restoration in 2004-2006, up through 2013 when several thousand dollars were spent on mechanical updates and upgrades. In 2005 (at about 110k miles), the car underwent the largest part of the physical restoration process, where it was sent to Morris Body and paint in Georgia and stripped, repainted, and refinished from top to bottom, including glass, seals, emblems, trim, rust repair, etc. (Over $5000 in body shop receipts). Aside from body work, the car also had a complete interior restoration including seats, door panels, dash, carpet, handles, trim, etc. Over all, this 280z was restored over the 2004-2006 time period, and then driven seldomly until purchased in 2008 by the gentleman who traded it to us. From 2010 to 2013, over $5000 was spent making this car's mechanics in line with it's appearance. The brakes were completely redone, as well as a valve adjustment, fuel pump and fuel sytem overhaul (lines, filter, etc), battery, and MUCH more. Bottom line: from 2004 to 2013, the car was driven only 4k miles or so, with $13k+ in parts and labor restoration. Otherwise it was stored as a seldom-driven collectible in a climate controlled environment. Babied, garage kept, and seldom driven. It still looks and runs excellent! Condition: This is 280z is finished in Gold Metallic exterior, over Ivory vinyl interior.The paint looks very nice, and is fairly new, with about 4k miles of time on the road, though it's about 9 years old. I'd be happy to walk this car and give you further details, and more information about the paint and body. I've provided several pictures, including the underside of this car as well. The interior is a solid 8.5 out of 10, and is all redone and excellent. The seats are newly re-wrapped, the dash is is new, the carpet is new, the trim is new, and it looks fantastic. From top to bottom, everything you see is very clean. The motor runs strong, the transmission feels great, the suspension is nice and tight. As previously mentioned, over $5k was spent in the last 300 miles making the car ready for the street. We also serviced the car here at our Performance Center, and it's ready for the road. I have a full folder of maintenance and receipts, as well as the owner's booklets, included with the sale. Check out the pictures below, be sure and allow time for them to load!

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
