Hello, I am selling a very nice 1972 Datsun 240 Z for a friend of many years who has decided, reluctantly, to sell his toy of 24 years and head in a new automotive direction (Corvette).. My friend bought this car 24 years ago from the third owner. The first owner was in Newport, Virginia followed by an owner in Perry Hall and Lutherville Maryland. This Z has been treated well all its life and it really shows. The body is very good overall and was re-painted in 1995. The paint is holding up well and while not a show car does look very good. As is common with almost all the early Z cars there is some rust that should be attended to. Both rockers have some rust spots, below the deck lid and just a couple small holes on the rails inside the wheel wells. I've been an auto restorer for 35 years and nothing too hateful, rust wise, on the car. The pictures should explain the details. Front and rear bumper are solid, not marked or dented and look presentable. All glass good, windows work well as do wipers. The interior is basically original and really pretty nice. Great headliner, good dash with dashtop cover, decent seats and nice original door panels. All gauges except the clock work great. All lights and heater work well. Oil has always been changed regularly. Motor runs cool , idles great, burns no oil, accelerates great and sounds perfect. Tranny shifts as is should. The following gives a little more details;

Replaced;brake master cylinder,front brake pads, ignition coil, rear brake shoes,rear wheel cylinders,fuel pump and fuel filter,muffler and tailpipe,oil and oil filter,starter,new windshield, new floor pans and alternator.

The car has its original hubcaps and had new tires about 20,000 miles ago. The radio is not original. Car comes with a spare motor and transmission that was removed from a 80,000 mile running car. A spare hood is also included as are misc repair manuals, booklets and original owners manual.

In summary, this is over-all a very nice early 240Z needing some minor rust repairs to bring her back to excellent but can certainly be enjoyed as it is. A really great running Z that has been taken care of and is ready for its new owner. Thank you for looking and please email any questions. I will be glad to answer any questions on the phone, just send me your phone number and a good time to call and I'll get back to you. Thank you....Phillip

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Nissan'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.

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
