Here is a 1972 Datsun 240 Z that has been sitting in doors for years. I bought it as part of an estate. The car has a bill of sale but no registration. Some one put a fuel injected 280 Z engine in it then realized they had no way to control the FI. the motor does turn over. A manifold and carb set would be easy to install on the motor. This car would be a great donor car as it has lots of good interior parts as well as after market AC!
The passenger inner fender is rust free! That is impossible to find these days. The rear tail lights and surrounds are good. The rear bumper is good and the front has a minor crack that could easily be fixed and re-chromed. I parted out one of these cars a few weeks ago and got almost $2000. I just don't have the time but if the very low reserve is not met I will find it.
The car comes with four Aluminium "Mags" like the ones shown on the front. The tires are shot on the rears. The rear rims in the picture DO NOT GO with the car. I spent 10 minutes with an electric drill with a wire brush and brought the worst aluminium mag back to almost new. For another $100 I will throw in a nice rear louver from another car I parted out. Those cost over $350 these days.
The rear glass is the rare vertical defroster type. This could also be a fun drift car. It has much more potential then some of the wrecks I see listed. Please send any questions. I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks for looking, Jim

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun 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 given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
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.
