This is the 280z that collectors dream of! this is a 1976 in British racing green and has 20,795 original miles! This car has not moved since the early eighties and was kept in perfect storage. It is still sitting on 1976 tires which are very useable and match the spare. every sticker and stitch is in place but it does have a scrape where a van was parked too close about 10 years ago. I am completely serious when I say this is the best preserved Z I have ever seen all the rubber is soft black and flexible even the factory windshield wipers. The paint has no fade whatsoever but does have some stress marks from age here and there. even has the owners manual and dealer invoice sheet.

THERE IS ZERO RUST
I have been all over in and out on this car and there is genuinely hand on heart zero rust in this body

I have replaced the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders and the brakes work great
I have replaced the clutch master cylinder and had a rod extension made, clutch works great
complete tune up and fluids change

All original parts come with it including the genuine Japanese air filter and fuel filter.

Still to be done:
I have an aluminum radiator with it (original has a seep at the top seam)
Needs a driver side mirror that was broken along with the scrape
Paint buffed: it has been waxed and covered but needs a little wax buffing to be new
A general safety check over.
Body work. see the photos. it will need actual body work to be perfect
Top end noise looked into

Has not been driven yet! this is still a perfection garage find that is in its first home and hasn't come out into daylight in 30 years. The engine has been started but only for 30 seconds or so and it was noisy. It is definately in the head and NOT a rod knock. It sounds like a clattery valve but could be due to sitting and may need run a bit more.

This is a collector restorer dream. this could be a museum piece. It is a rare little gem in a world of rotten run down and worn out Datsuns. Don't let this one get away it will truely be an investment piece.

Please ask any questions you might have now. This car is sold as is where is and will need a trailer. I will not negotiate or come down on your bid price when you arrive. if you are concerned please come and see it in person or ask for specific photos. non refundable down payment of $500 via paypal due at auction end. Full payment due at pick up. I have all the factory paperwork and title is in my name

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In 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 to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
