This auction is for a nice early 1974 Datsun 260z. It is essentially a 240 with a 260 engine, same weight same dimensions, and has the round top su carbs. I have had the car for about 5 yrs and have worked on it on and off during that period. I got the car from Texas and had very minimal rust, just floor boards really. I started body work and had a professional finish it and paint the entire car. I have touched pretty much every part on this car top to bottom. I have gone thru entire engine, had everything looked at and gone over. I have original parts for the ones replaced. This is a list of things I have done that I recall, im sure there is more, but you get the idea.
-upgraded larger alternator
-redone n42 head installed with new gaskets
-headers
-electronic ignition
-new distributer
-new plugs and wires
-repainted engine block and cleaned all of engine components
-flushed radiator
-cleaned gas tank
-rebuilt su carbs with z therapy kit
-Toyota front brake calipers and new rotors
-new seat covers
-new carpet
-new water pump
I have done a lot to this car, but it still needs a few small things. This is a great car to start with and still have a few things that you can work on and make it the way you want. It is drivable as it, but needs to have suspension done, there is a broken strut in rear. I replaced the four speed transmission with a 5 speed that I got on line and once I installed it realized that 5th gear is out. I believe it's a syncro, but it wont stay in 5th. I have the original 4 speed that I will include with the sale, it's in perfect operating condition. I have all the badges, but haven't installed them yet. I've only driven the car a handful of times while working on it. It runs very strong, idles great and sounds amazing. I want to be sure to answer any questions prior to the sale so the buyer is aware of all details with the car. It is 39 years old after all. These are amazing cars and are becoming more and more collectable. The car is unmolested only a few upgrades done, it was all original when I got it. Car must be picked up or shipping prearranged, I will not deliver.
I have numerous parts that I have accumulated that will be included with buy it now pricing.
IMPORTANT:
I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately and honestly as possible but please remember it is a used vehicle. As with any vehicle, (new or used) there may be issues that I have overlooked or am unaware of. If you are not familiar with purchasing used vehicles and or specialty vehicles or you have not purchased a vehicle using the Internet, PLEASE do your research, ask questions, make sure you are comfortable with me as a seller, the vehicle, and the process. No warranty expressed or implied. Car is sold as is. THANKS

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster
Tue, 28 Jan 2014A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]
Tue, 08 Apr 2014When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque 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 back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
