This 240Z has been in our family since the very early 70's and was actually purchased from a family friend. It was produced in April of 1970 so is an early 1970 Z with the hatch vents not seen in later 1970 production. It is completely original except for the hood and new front end paint. It had minor hood damage so we had it replaced. The rims have been on it since the early 70's as well but we put new tires on it recently. Gas tank was boiled and repainted, new clutch and brake master cylinders, new brake shoes on rear, new pads on front. Completely rebuilt front calipers and rear wheel cylinders. Front discs and back hubs were turned. Also put new struts on it all around. Note that the original plastic is still on the shoulder belts (seen in rear hatch photo). There is some damage to body around the hinge of the hatch but it does not impair the hatch operation at all. We did put a new hatch hydraulic on in 2008. This car sat in storage from about 1980 to 2007 and was "pickled" with Marvel Mystery oil during that time. We had it tuned up so she runs very well, a little rich, but loves to be out on the open road. Quite fun to drive. The fading of the back carpet just happened last summer when we had it outside for about a month. Otherwise she has always been garaged. No rust. The switch cover on the console is off right now as we are going to replace the switch for the rear window defroster. It will look as new once we get that on.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You 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."
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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 debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The 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.
