This 240Z was originally purchased in VA and was brought to NC when the original owner retired.  I have the original sales receipt (actually has 2 – one showing it as a 1972 and the correct  one showing it as a 1971), window sticker, warranty card, radio manual, Manufacturers Statement of Origin, vehicle order form and owner’s manual.  It was undercoated when it was new and not driven in the winter time so this Datsun is in superb shape. 

It still maintains its original driveline (engine, 4 speed transmission and rear end), and runs/drives well.  It currently has Nissan wheels from a late 70’s 280Z.  The original steel wheels and hubcaps come with the car.

The car had one repaint in the original silver color. 

The seat bottom and seat back on the driver side as well as the seat bottom of the passenger side were replaced with original seat covers.  I have the passenger seat back that comes with the car.  The car does not have its original radio – the original owner had it replaced and put speakers in the door panels.  Sadly the original radio was misplaced.  Aside from that, the interior is original and is in great shape for the age of the car.  There are 2 cracks on the dash that are shown in the picture.  It also needs a rear hatch strut. 

Bumpers, exterior molding and emblems do show their age.  They are presentable for a driver vehicle, but, could be replaced to make it nicer.

If I were keeping the car I would replace the shifter boot, foot rest and rear carpet as it shows more age/wear than the rest of the interior parts.  All gauges work except for the clock.

Mechanically the car is in great shape.  You can see from the pictures that the engine is stock, and extremely clean for a 42 year old vehicle with 110K miles. 

The car is currently located just south of Wilmington NC.  I’m happy to email any additional pictures you’d like to see.  Please email if you have any questions.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan'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.
