This 280z is dated January of 1975 which is the first month of the 280z production. It's my Daughters first car which is driven daily. I got it through a friend who got it through a trade. I have 2 Bill of Sales of previous ownerships. I also have a copy of the window sticker (matching serial numbers) to prove that this is a Southern States car that was bought new in Ga. I began restoration/preservation in July of 2012 which included new shocks all around,strut bars and rubber,sway bar kit front and back,front brake hoses, calipers with brake pads,brake manifold reservoir, lower control arm bushings, rack and pinion boots, ball joints,tie rod ends, car alignment, exhaust gaskets, exhaust from the manifold back with quiet muffler,electric fan with temperature control on the radiator,all heater hoses including the hard to get hoses under the dash, vacume hoses most have been replaced, complete tune up with air and fuel filters,upper and lower radiator hoses, battery, new dash cover the original has some cracks,weather stripping on doors and on two small windows,hood bumpers and under the hood wind/rain seals,custom factory cut & sewn carpet front and rear with padding, floor mats, drivers seat reupholstered, custom plastic welded speaker boxes, very little rust located in the usual areas mostly surface rust on floor boards and rear lift gate all fixed before paint job in March 2013. Rust preventer paint put on floor pans and under carriage also sprayed undercoating to cover white paint overspray. Painted under the hood and door jams, painted the tail light assemblies. Car has full size spare with original jack, chocks, and tools. I also include original owners manual and Datsun touch up paint. I probably forgot to mention a few things but all in all this is a great restoration car / street racer or everyday driver. I am selling only for my daughter to get a newer car for college. I will include a new Stainless Steel performance muffler with slanted tip, original radiator fan with shroud, original air intake tube, new key start switch, painted fiberglass tail fin, and two 3" orange stripes I thought might look good on the drivers side fender. I also have most of the reciept to prove that top grade parts were used. Thank you for looking and good luck.

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.
Datsun's lackluster initial sales fall below Tata Nano
Wed, 15 Oct 2014When Tata introduced the Nano back in 2008, everyone was amazed at how cheap it was. They called it a game changer, but no game was changed. In fact, it took Tata five years to sell the 250,000 units it had the capacity to build in a single year. As it turns out, even buyers in what economists call "developing markets" like India aren't necessarily interested in buying an ultra-cheap automobile. And now it appears that Nissan may be falling into the same trap.
A little over a year ago, Nissan revived its old moniker Datsun to serve as a budget brand - similar to what ally Renault did with Dacia. Its lineup (consisting of models like the Go hatchback, Go+ minivan, On-Do sedan and Mi-Do hatch) is largely based on old architecture, packaged with little more than basic equipment and sold at rock-bottom prices. But Bloomberg reports that, even in the brand's core markets like India and Indonesia, the new Datsuns haven't been selling.
According to local industry figures, Datsun has sold fewer than 10,000 units of its $5,100 Go hatchbacks in India since its introduction back in March. Maruti Suzuki, by comparison, sells twice that many of its similarly priced Alto hatchbacks every month. In fact, after peaking in April, Datsun only sold 607 units in India this past July, dipping 77 percent to drop below even the number of Nanos which Tata sold that month.
Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
