A Colorado State Patrolman stopped me for exceeding the speed limit before half a day had passed with the new plates on it. He says to me (direct quote) "dude, this car is immaculate!" That might have been a bit generous, but only on account of the sub-par paint job. The condition of this car is tough to match otherwise. I've put a new starter and alternator in the car, and it needs nothing. I'd leave for New York in it tomorrow without a thought. It starts, runs, shifts, drives and handles like a factory fresh car. Brakes are good, tires have lots of tread left. All glass is good, everything works. It is bone stock and unmolested right down to the original state of the art stereo cassette factory sound system. Words that come to mind are "keeper", "head-turner", "creampuff", "garage kept", "adult owned". You don't so much own as take stewardship of this car, and truth be known I probably would abort any prospective buyer who was obviously a low class punk who'd wreck it straight away, trying to race it and putting those jive-ass kazoo tailpipe wizzers on it etc. If this is you I got news for you OK, these were never thought of from day one as being out there to compete against real 8 cylinder muscle. Its a quick (for its day), agile, sporty, sexy, great handling and fun to drive classic. Timeless sports car lines. Reliable drive train and solid build quality. 1979 was the first year for the ZX. Its powered by a fuel injected, normally aspirated 2.8 liter in line six cylinder gasoline "push-rod" engine mated with a manual five speed stick shift transmission. The drivetrain typically goes 400-500k before its time to look inside the motor. Of course things like water pumps and so forth aren't expected to have quite that life expectancy, but you know that if you know anything about cars of course. If you love these cars you'll have to love this one. I'd take my oath on it. Clear title in hand. I bought this car because it is identical to my first car, which was my dad's and which he gave to me on my 18th birthday. You can bet only extreme duress would force this truly regrettable sale. Any questions text me first anytime 719-480-5397. Regards, Curt. Thank you for looking. p.s. I also have the plexiglass covers for the front headlight buckets, I took them off cause I didn't care for the looks of them myself.

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.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.

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.
