Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Advertising:

1972 240Z Production date of 10/71
Originally a California Car
No signs of any accidents
This is the cleanest unmolested Z that I have ever seen. It is very rare to find a Z as complete as this one with Factory parts. Almost every other 240Z that I have come across has the seats recovered, after market carpet kits, and rust repairs  

There is no rust on the car
The car has been repainted once in its original Orange. Paint is over 12 years old and is shiny but not perfect. A few chips, light scratches 
Air conditioning
The interior is in great shape with the original seats (in perfect shape and not recovered) and original carpet. The door panels have been replaced with NOS ($1000.)
Too many NOS parts to list. Some examples being:
Full exhaust
Starter
Fuel pump
Door panels
Bumper mounts
All front end bushings
Tail lights
Brake master cylinder
coil
Nissan reman distributor
The frame is in mint shape with no repairs or undercoating covering up rust.
Windshield is chip and scratch free
Perfect headliner
The dash has no cracks but has been repaired in a couple of places.
Battery tray is clean 
Rebuilt motor
Rebuilt polished SU Carbs
Rebuilt 4 speed tranny with new clutch. Shifts like a dream.
Brand new 15" Rota rims in Hyberblack with Yokohama tires. Tires fit perfect with no rubbing.
The car also comes with the Stock wheels and Hub caps with Radial T/A's
Brand new Eibach springs and KYB struts on all 4 corners. The car also comes with the original springs which I can have put back in if you prefer.
Hidden 2 way paging alarm with immobilizer
The car runs and drives great. All of the U-joints are tight with Zero clunks 
I have all of the records for the car since 1989.
Previous owner spent $$$ replacing anything he could with Nissan New Old Stock parts.
Original radio and working power antenna
The car is stock except for the Wheels, springs, camber adjust and bump steer spacers. ( The clock has been replaced with an identical looking battery powered unit.
When the previous owner went to rebuild the motor the mechanic told him that one of the cylinders would have to be bored. He was not comfortable with this. Instead he had a separate  block rebuilt and stored the original numbers matching block. This block will be included in the sale. 
The air con needs to be recharged. The previous owner said that it will hold a charge for 2 years. It is 40 years old and has hose clamps instead of threaded fittings.
The car has a custom tonnue cover in the back hatch area that can easily be removed (snaps) 
The car is located in Vancouver Canada, which is a 3 hour drive from Seattle. 
I will try to ad a video of the car running and driving in the next couple of days. All of the pictures in the ad are current 
I have added pictures of the frame, very few of the sellers add these.This in my opinion is the most critical part of the car. If they have been repaired or replaced the rest of the car will have rust as well. Do not be fooled by New shiny repaints
There is much more to this car than in the ad. If you are serious about purchasing the car reply with your phone number for more info.

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.

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The 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.
