1972 Datsun 240z - No Reserve - Professionally Restored Up for sale is a professionally restored 1972 Datsun 240z. I am the second owner of the car and I have records and receipts back to 1975. I purchased the car in 2009 and had it shipped from California where it lived all of its life. This is a rare original rust free 240z that hasn’t required any body restoration. Since I have owned the car it has always been stored in a garage and cared for. This is a great opportunity for a Z lover or classic car enthusiast to complete the car or simply enjoy it as is. The car currently has only 400 miles on a complete mechanical restoration which includes a restored and upgraded suspension, new L24 engine, 5 speed transmission, rebuilt carbs, rebuilt brakes, painted engine bay, wheels, new tires and more. Vinny Bedini from Bedini Motorsports in Connecticut professionally and lovingly restored all of the mechanicals in 2011. Vinny Bedini has over 40 years experience building Datsun race cars and with Datsun restorations. The car has sat in a garage since then. The car has all new mechanicals, starts right up, has a great exhaust growl and drives like a champ. I drove the car today (6/1) and it was a blast. The interior and exterior on the other hand need attention. This is a 42 year old car that has a fresh mechanical restoration but needs cosmetic attention. All of the mechanicals were professionally redone and the car runs and drives great. Just to be clear, the drivetrain and mechanicals are fully assembled. This car runs and drives great. I included a pic of the empty engine bay for reference only. Check out the video in the link below to see the car running now. Here is a link to more pictures and a video of the car: http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/72Datsun240z/library/ Exterior The paint on the car needs attention. Some people like it as is, my intention was to paint the car blue. As you will see in the pictures there are blemishes and flat grey paint all over the car. The engine bay was freshly painted blue which you will see in the pictures. Interior The interior of the car needs attention. The panels and carpet are in very worn shape. The dashboard has a crack and currently has a dashboard cap in place. The dials and gauges work. The floorboards are in perfect original condition with no rust. The tools and original steering wheel will be included with the car. There is an aftermarket radio and speakers in the car which are worn out and need to be replaced. There is a short shifter in the car which is fun to drive. The car does not have AC. Suspension The entire suspension was redone. All parts were removed, sand blasted and powder coated. All bushings were replaced with polyurethane. Tokico shocks and lowering springs were installed. The car has a nice low stance but is still comfortable to drive. Wheels & Tires 15x7 SSR Formula Mesh wheels & Kumho tires are on the car. The tires have 95% tread left on them and look brand new. The wheels are rare and in excellent condition. Drivetrain & Exhaust The car has a new/refurbished L24 six cylinder engine with an E31 head, rebuilt round top SU carbs, and an upgraded 5 speed transmission. The transmissions shifts smoothly. The clutch has 95% life left and is very responsive. The header was ceramic coated and the complete exhaust is a new MSA unit which has a great growl. The original rear diff was serviced as well. Brakes The car has upgraded front disc brakes and refurbished rear drum brakes. The brake master cylinder, disc calipers, disc pads and rear drums, drum shoes and drum hardware were replaced. List of Replaced Parts Here is a list of parts that were replaced on the car. Clutch Master Cylinder

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You 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."
First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan'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.
Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
