Condition & History

I bought this Z a couple of years ago and have pretty much been kept it in the garage accept for the occasional weekend drive. I bought it from the grandson of a die-hard Z owner that kept it as original as possible, re-upholstered it and handed it down to his grandson. Unfortunately, hard times forces me to sell. Overall condition is good, but could use a tune-up and a few repairs that I listed below. In fact, this 240z would make a good full restoration project if you wanted to go that far. Engine revs well and transmission shifts smoothly. The car is very light-weight, but having no power-steering gives it that old school feel. Battery is new and the body has few scuffs and scratches on it. Paint job looks to be an aftermarket burnt orange and is still in pretty good shape. There's an aftermarket exhaust and an aftermarket front fascia fairing. Engine looks to be all original accept for an aftermarket ignition. She fires right up with no problems and sounds strong.

The Bad

1. There is rust in the battery compartment area (which I've heard is typical) as seen in the photos

2. Driver side door needs adjustment to close tight

3. Cigarette Lighter, Horn and clock do not work

4. Right lower turn signal needs replacing

5. Dashboard is cracked down the middle

6. AC/Fan/Heater do not work


Background

The Z-series is a Nissan Legacy. This was the original Japanese sports car that started an auto revolution.

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.

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 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.
