Orlando, Florida, United States
|
This is a true barn find. this is a 1970 Datsun 240z being sold as part of a Estate sale. this car was found on a Idaho farm last year when the Orginal Owner passed. I bought this car to Florida to restore. I recently found out that I will be transferred to Seattle Washington, as of such I cannot take this car with me. For Z collectors this is the car to have. Its an early year model as evidence by its vin number. As of such it has some unique features that are 70's year only options.
1. the steering wheel is the correct one year only option. 2.The side "Z" badges unique to the 1970's Datsun are both present and in good shape as evidenced by the pictures. 3.The Engine appears to be the Original Engine with 53,000 miles on it and also the correct 2400 stamped one year valve cover ( see pictures) 4. the original am radio is still in the car unmolested 5.The only year only dash and center piece produced just for the 1970 Datsun is still in place, though the dash it self is badly cracked. center piece in good condition. 6.this car has the rare Aqua interior though it needs work only 300.00 came with this interior. 7.the original color of the exterior was Blue ( color code 903) 8.The Hood is a Super Rare racing Hood (note louvers) a Dealer option installed on the 1970 yr only after 70 became a after market option ( see Pictures) 9.This car has the 5 speed Manuel Transmission 10.This car is in running condition I drove it 110 miles without problems 11. does still have the Fiberglass light housings unique to the 1970 Z. Then from 1971 to 1973 they were converted to steel. Now for its needs: 1,Will need total restoration to make it a 15,000 Dollar car 2. as stated the car runs but will need brake pads and drums 3.has typical rust in various areas: right fender, Left door Jab ( right under it) areas along the front but no rust through areas noted. There is a rust hole in the floor pan where the rubber plugs go but I think its the plug area that has widened over the years. there are no rust issues noted in battery area and frame rails. ( and that's a good thing!) 4 interior pieces are mostly there including door panels. 5.tires are good maybe have still 15,00 miles on them Car is over all very Solid for a 1970 first year car. car will obviously need paint current paint job was very amateurish can see original paint in many different areas. I have tried to describe the car as to the best of my ability. as I know the value of the car if restored if any questions please do not hesitate to contact me 4074842709c |

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
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.
Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque 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 back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
