Hello, I am selling a very nice 1972 Datsun 240 Z for a friend of many years who has decided, reluctantly, to sell his toy of 24 years and head in a new automotive direction (Corvette).. My friend bought this car 24 years ago from the third owner. The first owner was in Newport, Virginia followed by an owner in Perry Hall and Lutherville Maryland. This Z has been treated well all its life and it really shows. The body is very good overall and was re-painted in 1995. The paint is holding up well and while not a show car does look very good. As is common with almost all the early Z cars there is some rust that should be attended to. Both rockers have some rust spots, below the deck lid and just a couple small holes on the rails inside the wheel wells. I've been an auto restorer for 35 years and nothing too hateful, rust wise, on the car. The pictures should explain the details. Front and rear bumper are solid, not marked or dented and look presentable. All glass good, windows work well as do wipers. The interior is basically original and really pretty nice. Great headliner, good dash with dashtop cover, decent seats and nice original door panels. All gauges except the clock work great. All lights and heater work well. Oil has always been changed regularly. Motor runs cool , idles great, burns no oil, accelerates great and sounds perfect. Tranny shifts as is should. The following gives a little more details;
Replaced;brake master cylinder,front brake pads, ignition coil, rear brake shoes,rear wheel cylinders,fuel pump and fuel filter,muffler and tailpipe,oil and oil filter,starter,new windshield, new floor pans and alternator. The car has its original hubcaps and had new tires about 20,000 miles ago. The radio is not original. Car comes with a spare motor and transmission that was removed from a 80,000 mile running car. A spare hood is also included as are misc repair manuals, booklets and original owners manual. In summary, this is over-all a very nice early 240Z needing some minor rust repairs to bring her back to excellent but can certainly be enjoyed as it is. A really great running Z that has been taken care of and is ready for its new owner. Thank you for looking and please email any questions. I will be glad to answer any questions on the phone, just send me your phone number and a good time to call and I'll get back to you. Thank you....Phillip |

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The 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.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
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.
