Up for auction is a very clean and very sharp 1971 Datsun 240Z. The car originally came from California and is very solid. I bought this car from a friend less than a year ago. He's an older gentleman that poured his heart and soul into this car, he spend a lot of money on the car. 


I bought the car exactly as you see it but here's what I know about it.

The car has a 280Z motor that was rebuilt and has 4400 mile on it. It has a modified cam and a larger capacity aluminum oil pan. The original 4 speed transmission was replaced with a 5 speed and so were the rear end gears. All are from the 1978, 1979 era. (I have the original motor and rear end gears that go with car but not the original transmission)

Custom bucket seats (I have originals that go with car) The interior is excellent for the year, the passenger sun visor is signed by former race car driver Bob Sharp.

Custom wood steering wheel and shift knob (I have original steering wheel)

16" Panasport Racing Wheels

Custom dash gauges, the new speedometer was installed when the motor was installed and started at zero so this is the mileage since the motor was installed. I'm not positive of the body mileage but I may have the original speedometer showing mileage. I can check if anyone would like to know.

AM/FM CD player with remote control

Has front disc brakes

New shocks, ball joints, tie rods, and alignment.

This is just some of what I know but I can tell you that there are many other new items and I have a box of extra parts, new and old.

The car is very sharp, a real head turner. The engine compartment is beautiful, lots of polished parts and is super clean. The car is very fun to drive, runs great, drives straight, and stops perfect.

It does have a few blemishes that you can see from the pictures and is over 40 years old so if you look hard enough I'm sure you'll find some flaws.

Connecticut does not issue titles on this year vehicle so I will provide the buyer with the previous Connecticut registration and a Q-1 Bill of Sale form. (I never registered car)

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I will be happy to assist with whoever you hire.

Please ask any questions and I will do my best to answer. 


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."

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.
