Up for auction is this 1971 Datsun 240Z. I rescued it from the back yard of the previous owner who had owned it for the past 25 or so years. She brought it up from California to Idaho several years ago and after a few years she parked it and that is where it sat for the past several years. Cosmetically it is in very good unrestored shape. It has a nice driver quality paint job with American Racing wheels and good tires. The body is very straight. The only rust through I have found is a very small area on the passenger side floor pan, shown in one of the pictures. The head liner and rear plastic panels are in good shape. The rear carpet is in place and in good shape. It is missing the front floor board carpets. The seats are in very good shape also. The driver’s seat has a small imperfection on the lumbar pad as seen in the picture. The dash has some cracking also. The original tool kit, jack and Nissan wheel chocks are in place in the rear compartment. Speedometer doesn’t seem to be accurate and the clock doesn’t work either. The rest of the gauges seem to work fine. The stereo doesn’t currently work. This is a factory optioned air conditioning car. The air conditioning pump is missing off the engine, so currently it doesn’t work but all controls are in place. The heater has been by-passed and the heater core removed so currently the heater isn’t operational. The engine still has the original smog pump on it and operational. I have a folder of maintenance records from the previous owner. The car currently has 87,659 original miles on it. I have receipts showing the engine was rebuilt around 40,000 miles ago. Since it has sat for some time I added some Sea Foam to it and have ran it around for a bit and it seems to run very good. It has a lot of power and I think with a simple tune up, some tlc and just running it some more it will be an awesome driver. The brakes work great too. The original 4 speed transmission was replaced with a 5 speed. The original 4 speed transmission is included with the auction. The clutch seems to be in need of replacement soon although I am not a mechanic and that is only my unprofessional opinion! The throw-out bearing is making some noise and the clutch doesn’t have much play at all before engaging. It is still drivable and shifts through all the gears. This is a great classic Z that will make an awesome daily driver or easily taken to the next level. I have a clean and clear Washington state title in my name and ready to sign over to the new owner. This is a NO RESERVE auction so bid to win and good luck! Auction Requirements: $500.00 non-refundable Paypal deposit due within 48 hours of winning auction. Balance owing due within 7 days of winning auction. Preferable form of payment for the balance is by money order or cashiers check, Paypal as a last resort due to high fees. The title to the 240Z will be sent to the new owner once full payment is received. Shipping arrangements, from it's current location here in Colville, Washington, are the full responsibility of the new owner. I will assist with the loading of the car if needed. Being that it is a 43 year old vehicle, and one that I haven't driven much more than a total of 10 miles since I've owned it, I would highly suggest shipping it if it's any distance. Bidders with 0 feed back NEED to contact me PRIOR to placing a bid or your bid will be erased and blocked. I want it to be fair for true interested people and I don't want to waste anybody's time. |

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 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody 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."
