car is equipped with a 2.4 Liter inline 6 cylinder engine, rated at 150 HP at
6000 RPM, it has the original round top twin SU Carbs, original 4 speed
transmission. This vehicle is in running
condition, it will need to either have the hydraulics inspected and repaired as
it has not been on the road since 1983 when it was garaged. It does turn over and start, please see video for start up from the link above. It has to the best of my knowledge 102737 original miles as the odometer has just turned over. The body is straight and
has no rust problem areas. The underside
of the battery tray usually where you find rust first, the unibody is intact and all body panels beneath the car are intact
with no rust. There are pictures of the floor boards without the carpet in the
Flickr photo set as well as the floor for the spare tire area. These areas have
never been restored or painted, the car is as it is pictured. I have personally
never seen a 44 year old car in such good condition without restoration. This is a very desirable year and model as it is a first year Z, The Z registry lists a little over 200 of these cars at the current time as survivors. This vehicle is not in the registry at this time.
Condition
This car can be enjoyed as it is, a true survivor or it would make an extremely
easy base for restoration as it has no rust problems. The current paint is to
the best of my knowledge originally from the factory. Interior is intact, I have not seen many Z’s
in this condition. This is a rarity,
especially being a first year series 1 car with all its correct parts. This vehicle would be considered a number 3 car on the Hagerty insurance valuation site. The interior, straight body and rust free condition are the greatest attributes of this car Better resolution photos can be seen

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.
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.
