California Original, One Owner, Datsun Nissan Original Miles, Like New on 2040-cars
Encinitas, California, United States
First things first, what a nice little Southern California
truck. It has been in Southern California all its life ecept when it was pulled
behind a motor home. The bed has some scratches but is not all beat up. The
original paint is a little thin in places but still shines. The interior is
near perfect. The bad, someone put in an aftermarket radio and CD player. Seats
are original and near perfect. The windshield wiper handle is missing [broken
off]. It sports the original California license plates which go with the car
and if you live in California they are good til summer. These plates were put
on the car in 1983, WOW. It has an original chrome bumper with ball hitch. The
inner fenders are like new. The only rust on the truck is in an unlikely place.
I think something fell on it in 1983 and the hood and windshield wiper housing
was replaced and repainted. Look at the pictures. That is the only way I think
that the rust would show up there. The cap is original and in good not great
shape. The screens have some holes and the fiberglass looks funky. It has a
sliding cab window. The truck runs and drives great. It drives straight and
does not wander all over the road. All glass is good and not cracked.
Windshield is great too, no streakes. Southern California so no rain here. The
one thing that I think it may need in the next 10,000 miles or more is a
clutch. That said if you live on the East coast, fly in and drive it back. It
is that nice and dependable. On Feb-28-14 at 19:06:37 PST, seller added the following information: I JUST NOTICED THAT I USED A HEADING FROM ANOTHER TRUCK, THIS IS NOT A ONE OWNER TRUCK, I BELIEVE IT IS TWO OWNER |

Infiniti moves to trademark Eau Rouge
Sun, 24 Aug 2014With Formula One taking to Belgium and the famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit this weekend - boasting a reputation as one of the most beautiful courses on the calendar - all eyes will likely be on the tricky Eau Rouge corner, which challenges drivers' high-speed car control over a rolling, tree-lined hill. Infiniti played on the turn's iconic legacy for its ruby red Q50 Eau Rouge concept, and now the brand hopes to trademark the famous racing name so it can keep using it for a potential production version.
In January, the company filed for a trademark on Eau Rouge for "Automobiles and their structural parts; Fuel cell automobiles and their structural parts; Concept cars" with the US Patent and Trademark Office. According to Bloomberg, the application is still under consideration and not yet a guarantee. It's possible that the track could attempt to block the automaker from earning rights to the name. Alternatively, a trademark lawyer tells Bloomberg that the two of them could also strike a deal where Infiniti would pay a small amount for each car sold bearing the title, which could give Spa a bit of extra money in the bank.
Regardless of the name, a vehicle like the Eau Rouge is something enthusiasts have been wanting for years. It combines a modified, 560-horsepower version of the engine from the Nissan GT-R into a four-door sedan covered in aggressive, carbon fiber aerodynamic parts.
Nissan Patrol modified for backseat drivers
Thu, 19 Sep 2013The McLaren F1 is most famous for holding the production-car top-speed record for over a decade, but it also made a name for itself by being one of the only production cars with a central driving position, a feature that's extremely rare. But in the world of custom cars, anything can happen. We're not sure if Dubai-based shop King of Customs was inspired by McLaren or is poking fun at backseat drivers (perhaps the builder or the commissioner just has quite the imagination), but its custom fifth-generation Nissan Patrol (the foundation of the Infiniti QX80 in the US) sports utility vehicle takes the term "central-driving position" to the next level. In the Patrol's case, "central" means that the driver's seat and controls are located in the second-row seating area.
It's a pretty clean conversion - if pointless - and we have to wonder how safe it is to drive such a vehicle. The front seats are now passenger seats, and the front airbags have been taken out and replaced with screens, according to King of Customs' Facebook page. So if the driver's view outside is impaired and the SUV is involved in a crash, you'd better hope nobody is up front. The screens on the backs of the front-seat headrests at least provide views from the side-view mirrors via cameras, the shop claims.
Watch the video below, marvel at the extreme impracticality of it all and see the thing drive.
Nissan settles with FTC over misleading dune buggy ad [w/videos]
Fri, 24 Jan 2014A couple years ago, Nissan created a series of commercials for its compact Frontier pickup showing the truck performing outlandish stunts such as snowboarding, saving a passenger airplane from a crash landing and climbing a steep sand dune to help a stranded dune buggy. As crazy as the first two commercials were, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took issue with the latter, titled Hill Climb, with the agency considering it to be a misleading commercial since both vehicles required a cable to reach the top of the steep dune.
As such, Ad Age is reporting that Nissan - and its ad agency TBWA Worldwide - has settled with the FTC over the ad despite the fact that it features a disclaimer stating: "Fictionalization. Do not attempt." Nissan did not have to pay out any money in the settlement, but it is prohibited "from using potentially misleading demonstrations in future advertisements for pickups." In addition to the offending commercial, posted below, we've included some of the other related videos from the same Frontier campaign.
