1973 Datsun 240Z with 73,000 ORIGINAL miles. Three owners over 41 years. Mechincally very sound. Everything operational. Runs great! A really “tight” engine that “purrs” beautifully. Body and interior in great condition. Even has the original horse hair mats and yellow nissan chocks.

Engine completely redone at 70,000 miles. Rebuilt completely to spec!!! Everything kept stock except for an aluminum triflow radiator and 6-into-2 chrome headers. Head and block professionally machined. Standard bore maintained. All new pistons and Total Seal chrome racing rings. New bearings installed. New timing chain and chain guides. New starter, alternator, and water pump. New long-life battery. All new hoses, brass freeze plugs, spark plugs, red Taylor Spiro Pro spark plug wires, fuel filter, and gaskets. Rebuild was done EXACTLY by the book. I’m a perfectionist and made sure everything was done right. Block painted black and most parts bead-blasted if needed and powder-coated in black.

Last owner swaped out the two Hitachi-SU flat-top carbuerators (stock in ’73) for two Hitachi-SU 1v sidedraft round-top carburetors, which were stock in the ‘70-72 240Z’s and are much better carbeurators (no vapor lock). I had these round tops professionally rebuilt last year.

General Specifications:

129 Horsepower rating

4-speed manual transmission

Rear wheel Drive

Two-seater with leather-grained vinyl bucket seats

Fully independent suspension with struts front and rear

Rear hatchback

L24 Engine with 2.4L (2,393cc) Displacement

In-line 6 Cylinder Arrangement

Overhead camshaft (OHC) engine system

83mm bore and 73.7mm stroke

Aluminum head

Wedge-shaped combustion chamber

7-bearing forged steel crankshaft

Cylinder block cast as single unit with deep skirt design

Cast Aluminum slipper-skirt pistons with forged steel connecting rods

I also have lots of extra parts. A new automatic electronic antenna. Crank pulley to run air conditioning or power steering. I have the original radiator (still works great) and lots of extra parts I just picked up here and there when I saw them. Actually have almost a whole other engine in parts!

Also, this may be a Bob Bondurant car used at his racing school when it moved to Sears Point in 1973. Looking into this and will follow up when I find out.

I’ve owned the car for about 4 years and really don’t want to part with it but I’m studying full-time to apply to medical school and not working. Just want to find an owner who will take care of it and love it as much as I do!

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."

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody does cars on the cheap quite like the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The former part of the equation already has its Dacia brand of cost-effective, no-frills vehicles that have become a favorite of Top Gear co-host James May, and last summer, the latter revived its Datsun nameplate for a budget brand of its own.
The reborn Datsun launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's given us our first look at an upcoming budget sedan developed specifically for the Russian market.
The as-yet unnamed vehicle (which we'll bet will incorporate the word "go" into its nameplate somehow) is set to debut on April 4, where it will launch the Datsun brand in Russia. Few details are available at this point, but the low-cost sedan was designed in Japan to offer Russian drivers "an engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and transparent price, with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership."
