Hi All.


HISTORY

-'72 Datsun 240z

-date of manufacture: 9/71

-second owner, bought in Atlanta 2001.  The original owner passed and I purchased it from his daughter.  The original owner, George, was an airline mechanic with Delta AIrlines.  The front bumper has a small Delta sticker which must stay on the car!  

-roughly 2000 miles put on the Z since I purchased it.

-have original sales receipt- in photos

SPECS

-Mostly original minus:

  • weber dgv carbs put on by original owner.  I do not have original SU carbs
  • front air dam and headlight scoops-seen in pictures.  I do not have original headlights/ scoops
  • car was  repainted  in early 80's.  It is the original color. 

CONDITION

-The Z runs and drives well.  It is not registered or inspected at this time.  I put roughly 100 miles on it this Spring.

-The Z burns a small amount of oil.  The engine has not been touched.  Compression is good and consistent across all cylinders.  I am not talking clouds of black smoke, just puffs under heavy throttle.

-The oil and temperature gauges are finicky. When operable, oil psi is about 45 psi at 2000rpm.

-No fluid leaks, no puddles/ stains on garage floor.

-The Z is equipped with air conditioning as a dealer installed option.  It is not operable, but compressor does engage.

-The original radio works.  I have a replacement power extendable antennae installed.  The switch on the radio to raise/lower the antennae is not sending power to antennae as of this Spring, antennae is operable when powered directly.

-I've replaced the brake master cylinder, both rear wheel cylinders, alternator and voltage regulator over the years.  That's it.

-I've documented the rot as best I can in pictures.  I've bondo'ed in front of both rear tires behind rocker panels.  Both front fenders in front of rocker panels have bondo.  The hatch area is in good shape.  A few bubbled have popped up around fuel fill area.

-The windshield rubber needs replacement.

-The floors are solid.

-The undercarriage is solid.

-The drivetrain is solid, shifts well, no clunks, grinding of any kind.

REASON FOR SELLING

My nights and weekends are consumed coaching youth football, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse.  While I wouldn't have it any other way, I just don't have time to take care of this Z I truly love.  I've owned Z's since high school.  This is far and away my favorite and really really hoped to restore it.  She needs a good home. A little TLC and she's good to go.  Also a great candidate for restoration.  The lime yellow is uncommon and really sharp.  Having the original sales receipt and some hand written maintenance logs from George is pretty special.  

Thanks for looking and don't hesitate with questions.

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In 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 expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
