This is a very nice ORIGINAL (35100 mile) RUST FREE example of a 1980 10th Anniversary 280ZX. There were 3000 individually numbered Anniversary models.2500 were gold and black while only 500 were red and black.Any article that I have come across call these ULTRA-RARE AND VERY COLLECTIBLE! This is #529 of 3000 and is in exceptional condition. The original owner lived in Oregon and she owned the car until early 2006.In 2007 the car was shipped to PA. where it has been stored in a heated garage and driven to local car shows (The car has traveled 1000 miles in 7 years).

The exterior has all original paint and is in EXCELLENT CONDITION !There is NO RUST on the body or underneath( NO BUBBLES).All rubber gaskets (door, window) are in excellent condition.The bumpers have perfect chrome and the rubber/plastic are not faded.There is a two inch cut in the black rubber (corner) on the drivers side front bumper its hard to see but its there and is the only flaw!

The interior is in excellent condition.The leather is nice and soft with no tears,cracks or fading. The carpets,dash and door panels are equally as nice!

All gauges,power windows,wipers.cruise control,lights,AC work as they should (even the clock works).The radio works perfectly but the power antenna does not go up and down.

The glass is all perfect including the T-tops.I have the shade protector and the carry cases for the T-tops (both in great condition).

The engine and 5 speed transmission work flawlessly and is a pleasure to drive.Last week I replaced the original thermostat (it was like new). I also had the original clutch replaced by the family that owned the original Datsun/Nissan dealership in the Northeastern PA.I had Automobile City replace the clutch disc and pressure plate and release bearing.All hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid are new.The engine oil/filter is new as well.Invoice for all work will be included.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.

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.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The 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.
