1970 Datsun 240Z Sports Coupe

Factory A/C
4-Speed
56,308 original miles
VIN # HLS30-05222
Early Production 6/70

This 1970 Datsun 240Z Sports Coupe is an original, early production 6/70, unrestored "survivor" with absolutely NO RUST and one repaint in the correct paint #904 Kilimanjaro White. It was sold new in Georgia, cherished by its two previous owners and has never been a "daily driver".  

The original 2.4 liter 6-cylinder engine is 100% factory stock and unmodified. It still retains its original E31 cylinder head, dual Hitachi round-top carburetors and factory air cleaner assembly. The engine starts easily, quickly settles into a smooth idle and pulls cleanly through the rev range under acceleration. There are no mechanical issues..... no smoke, no leaks, no noises. The factory 4-speed manual transmission shifts effortlessly.  The car starts, runs and drives without drama of any kind.

The factory A/C system blows cold air.  A/C high pressure hose and receiver drier were replaced and refrigerant recharged in 2004.  

The following maintenance has been performed on the car in the last few years:  Replaced front brake pads, rotors, calipers and brake lines.  Flushed brake fluid.  Replaced fuel pump, fuel filter,fuel lines, water pump, radiator fan clutch, engine belts and battery.  Installed new front & rear KYB shocks.  Installed new Yokohama Avid tires on new Panasport wheels.  

The car has a well preserved interior with reclining bucket seats in the correct and original upholstery. The original dashboard and center console are in excellent condition with no cracks. The factory tachometer and speedometer operate properly as do the gauges for oil pressure, amperes and coolant temperature. The original wood rim steering wheel, interior panels and headliner are also in excellent condition. The factory radio is still installed and functional. Overall, a very nice and correct early interior. 

The body of the car retains all its original body panels and is in great condition with no dents or dings. The car had the "Ziebart Rustproof Protection" process applied when new and retains all the original yellow plugs in the door jambs and rear hatch area to cover the holes drilled to complete the rustproofing process.  I can find no evidence of previous body damage, body repair or rust. One older respray in the correct Kilimanjaro White paint was done years ago and is beginning to show its age.  Two very small sections of paint are beginning to "lift" at the right rear quarter panel behind the fuel filler door. The chrome bumpers are in great original condition with no pitting. All glass is original and in good condition.  As mentioned above, the car has been fitted with brand new Panasport alloy wheels......the one and only deviation from factory stock configuration. 

Overall, an incredibly well-preserved, gently driven, original spec, early production car with no excuses.  After owning, cherishing and enjoying the car for 10 years and 6936 miles the time has come to sell.  The car is available for viewing, by appointment, at my home in Naples, Florida.

The car will be sold to the highest bidder @ NO RESERVE.

I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is currently for sale locally. 

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

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.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You 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."
