This 1973 Datsun 240Z is a great driving, good looking classic. It has fresh Silver paint, lots of new parts and everything works as it should. The engine was removed, cleaned, painted and reinstalled with new points, wires, plugs, air and oil filters, thermostat, belts and hoses. All fluids are fresh. The carbs have been tuned, the points and timing set, the gas tank removed/cleaned/sealed and all fuel lines are new. The 4-speed manual shifts great and the clutch feels good as well. Brakes and steering feel solid. The floors have been patched and would need pans to be perfect but are solid and sealed. The body isn't perfect but looks so from 10 feet - this silver is great in the sun or at night and all the glass is in great shape. The wheels are good except one has a chip that doesn't affect the tire - the tires are new (less than 200 miles). The front bumper has dings and the rear bumper is not with the car but I think it looks good without it. Interior has been removed, everything redone (except seat upholstery) and reinstalled with brand new black carpet. The radio isn't hooked up but it's there. An original-style antenna is included but isn't shown. Also not shown are the original jack and tool bag but are with the car.

Overall this is a really nice 240Z that can be driven and enjoyed from day one. These cars are lots of fun to drive and may be a good investment as well. This Z is sold with a bill of sale only and I would be happy to assist with obtaining a proper title. Delivery is available within 300 miles of 39211 or I will happily assist with a shipper. If you have any questions, please ask. I will not end the auction early - please don't ask. Reserve is low - I kind of want to keep this car but it must be sold.

Thanks so much for looking and good luck!

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:

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."

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
