1972 Datsun 240z on 2040-cars
San Bernardino, California, United States
1972 Datsun 240z. Pictures coming soon. Running driving and registered. Up until recently it has been my daily driver I was driving it about 50 miles a day. Previous owner had engine rebuilt a little while before I got it 2 years ago. Recently exhaust fumes have been coming into the car, I believe because it needs a rear hatch seal. I had exhaust redone with a MagnaFlow glasspack, car is pretty loud and sounds great. Car is reliable but carbs should be tuned as it seems to run rich. Has header, matchbox electronic distributor, polished front cover, turbo valve cover and electric fan. Body is in good shape with some small damage here and there. I don't see any rust except for the paint is bubbling up below the hatch window. Paint isn't great, but I still get complements all the time. dash has a skin and is in good shape and I believe all the instruments other than the clock work. Seats have been recovered in burgundy cloth and are kind of dirty. the rest of the interior is black. all the weather stripping should be replaced. This is a fast fun car that definitely needs some work but can be a fun driver while you fix it up. There are little things that I'm sure I missed like the electric fan is just on a toggle switch and not thermostatically controlled. Feel free to call me at 9O93O74458 and I can give you all the details you want. Please contact me with any questions before bidding. Car is for sale on inland empire Craigslist and I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells. Thanks for looking and feel free to contact me with any questions or if you want to come and check it out.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If 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."
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."
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.
