1971 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, United States
|
This 240Z was originally purchased in VA and was brought to NC when the original owner retired. I have the original sales receipt (actually has 2 – one showing it as a 1972 and the correct one showing it as a 1971), window sticker, warranty card, radio manual, Manufacturers Statement of Origin, vehicle order form and owner’s manual. It was undercoated when it was new and not driven in the winter time so this Datsun is in superb shape. It still maintains its original driveline (engine, 4 speed transmission and rear end), and runs/drives well. It currently has Nissan wheels from a late 70’s 280Z. The original steel wheels and hubcaps come with the car. The car had one repaint in the original silver color. The seat bottom and seat back on the driver side as well as the seat bottom of the passenger side were replaced with original seat covers. I have the passenger seat back that comes with the car. The car does not have its original radio – the original owner had it replaced and put speakers in the door panels. Sadly the original radio was misplaced. Aside from that, the interior is original and is in great shape for the age of the car. There are 2 cracks on the dash that are shown in the picture. It also needs a rear hatch strut. Bumpers, exterior molding and emblems do show their age. They are presentable for a driver vehicle, but, could be replaced to make it nicer. If I were keeping the car I would replace the shifter boot, foot rest and rear carpet as it shows more age/wear than the rest of the interior parts. All gauges work except for the clock. Mechanically the car is in great shape. You can see from the pictures that the engine is stock, and extremely clean for a 42 year old vehicle with 110K miles. The car is currently located just south of Wilmington NC. I’m happy to email any additional pictures you’d like to see. Please email if you have any questions. |

Datsun to unveil second model later this month
Sun, 08 Sep 2013Datsun, 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.
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.
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:
