1970 Datsun 240Z Sports Coupe

Factory A/C
4-Speed
56,308 original miles
VIN # HLS30-05222
Early Production 6/70

This 1970 Datsun 240Z Sports Coupe is an original, early production 6/70, unrestored "survivor" with absolutely NO RUST and one repaint in the correct paint #904 Kilimanjaro White. It was sold new in Georgia, cherished by its two previous owners and has never been a "daily driver".  

The original 2.4 liter 6-cylinder engine is 100% factory stock and unmodified. It still retains its original E31 cylinder head, dual Hitachi round-top carburetors and factory air cleaner assembly. The engine starts easily, quickly settles into a smooth idle and pulls cleanly through the rev range under acceleration. There are no mechanical issues..... no smoke, no leaks, no noises. The factory 4-speed manual transmission shifts effortlessly.  The car starts, runs and drives without drama of any kind.

The factory A/C system blows cold air.  A/C high pressure hose and receiver drier were replaced and refrigerant recharged in 2004.  

The following maintenance has been performed on the car in the last few years:  Replaced front brake pads, rotors, calipers and brake lines.  Flushed brake fluid.  Replaced fuel pump, fuel filter,fuel lines, water pump, radiator fan clutch, engine belts and battery.  Installed new front & rear KYB shocks.  Installed new Yokohama Avid tires on new Panasport wheels.  

The car has a well preserved interior with reclining bucket seats in the correct and original upholstery. The original dashboard and center console are in excellent condition with no cracks. The factory tachometer and speedometer operate properly as do the gauges for oil pressure, amperes and coolant temperature. The original wood rim steering wheel, interior panels and headliner are also in excellent condition. The factory radio is still installed and functional. Overall, a very nice and correct early interior. 

The body of the car retains all its original body panels and is in great condition with no dents or dings. The car had the "Ziebart Rustproof Protection" process applied when new and retains all the original yellow plugs in the door jambs and rear hatch area to cover the holes drilled to complete the rustproofing process.  I can find no evidence of previous body damage, body repair or rust. One older respray in the correct Kilimanjaro White paint was done years ago and is beginning to show its age.  Two very small sections of paint are beginning to "lift" at the right rear quarter panel behind the fuel filler door. The chrome bumpers are in great original condition with no pitting. All glass is original and in good condition.  As mentioned above, the car has been fitted with brand new Panasport alloy wheels......the one and only deviation from factory stock configuration. 

Overall, an incredibly well-preserved, gently driven, original spec, early production car with no excuses.  After owning, cherishing and enjoying the car for 10 years and 6936 miles the time has come to sell.  The car is available for viewing, by appointment, at my home in Naples, Florida.

The car will be sold to the highest bidder @ NO RESERVE.

I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is currently for sale locally. 

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody 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."

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We'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.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
