EARLY PRODUCTION 1970 DATSUN 240Z
This early production 1970 Datsun 240Z (serial number 3242) “Barn Find” is nearly free of rust and is a great starting point for a restoration project. The Z has spent its entire life on the West Coast with most of its life in San Diego and a few years in Oregon. It was owned by one family until it was sold to the previous owner. It has a clean Oregon title. The current owner found it stashed in a goat barn and bought it to bring it back to its full glory, but has since decided to focus on other non-automotive projects rather than restoring the Datsun. The Z is obviously a project car, but is a rare find for someone looking for a 240Z restoration project that doesn’t involve major rust removal. It was disassembled for restoration by the previous owner who then lost interest but to the best of our knowledge, all the parts needed to reassemble the car and more are included with the sale. BODY CONDITION The body is in very good condition with straight panels, good panel fit, only a few minor dents and very little rust. The only significant rust is behind both doors (see photos). The battery tray area has the typical surface rust. The doors are very solid with very little rust on the bottoms. There is evidence of a well-repaired prior collision in the left-front quarter. We have tried to document all major areas where there could be rust, so please confirm by viewing the photos. There is only one significant dent, on the roof on the driver’s side (see photos). However the roof has never been cut for an aftermarket sunroof. There are holes in the rear hatch from louvers, but no significant rust. Rear hatch is original and still has original vertical defroster grid and original vents. Two sets of louvers are included for that period look. Both original chrome bumpers are present and in very good condition including the over-riders. The car was originally orange, but is currently painted red with a black stripe on the hood. CHASSIS The 240Z is currently a rolling chassis, with the suspension intact. The suspension is original to the best of our knowledge. The brake lines and master cylinder have been disconnected. The parking brake does work. DRIVETRAIN The drivetrain has been removed for restoration. The engine, transmission, driveshaft and radiator are all included with the car as well as many spares. Both included engines are 2.8 liter, not the original 2.4 liter. One engine has been rebuilt recently. See list below for list of significant parts. INTERIOR The interior is partially disassembled. The original door panels are included, but are in fair condition. Window glass is included as well as window mechanisms. The 240Z currently has black Miata cloth seats installed. The original steering wheel will be in place at the time of sale. The dash and gauges are intact; the dash has a few cracks. The center console is included. Some carpet included, in poor condition. Most of the diamond patterned interior padding is intact. PARTS INCLUDED The majority of the parts removed during disassembly as well as a number of extra and spare parts are included with the sale. Significant parts include: - 2 engines – both are 2.8 liter. One has been rebuilt recently - 3 manual transmissions, including one 5-speed - 3 radiators and 3 fans - 2 sets of rear window louvers - Original steering wheel - Extra bumper over-riders - Original Datsun seats and an extra set of black Miata cloth seats that are currently installed. - Original door panels and center console - Extra grill - Extra cam covers - Air cleaner housing - New performance camshaft - Exhaust system, including 2 set of headers. - Extra hood and driver’s door - The original steel wheels are NOT included, but the car will come with the aftermarket wheels shown in the photos.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In 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 previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody 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."
