I purchased this vehicle in 1985 from Concord Datsun in Concord Ca., and used it as a daily driver for the next ~10 years. In the mid 1990's I moved to southern California and left my Z parked in my father's garage, where it still sits to this day. My father recently passed away and my family wants to remodel the garage before selling the house so the car has to go.
The Datsun was running when I last parked it, and it shouldn't be too hard to fire it up again, but I was moving the the Mojave desert and needed a car with AC. Also, I had another, newer vehicle so I left the Z behind. Somehow, the years went by and I've had other cars and never got around to bringing the car south with me. So there it is today, in the exact condition I parked it 20 years ago. The tires are flat of course, but I pumped them up a couple years back and rolled the car out to wash it. I was thinking I might sell it then, but I had to cut that trip short and the Datsun went back into the garage.

Condition:
< Please see the video link at the bottom >

* Sorry the car is so dusty - I was only at the location long enough to quickly spray it with water, but it will clean up much nicer. The white residue you might see in the pictures and video is old wax, not missing paint.
* In one picture, the car looks like a different color but it's not - it was just the lighting.
* While the odometer reads 62105, please be aware that it has wrapped at least once, probably twice.

All the parts are there - except maybe the horn button and the ball on the shifter. A few years before I parked it, I replaced the L24 short block with an L26 (one of those Japanese 30k deals). Later, I replaced the old flat-top carbs with the round-top. As I stated, the car was running when I parked it, but the heater/ac doesn't work and there is no stereo. The interior is in fair condition, all window glass in good shape. I purchased a bumper skirt but never got around to installing it, so you will get that with the vehicle if you want it. The rear louvers I found on a 260Z at a wrecking yard - as i recall, they're not mounted with screws.
The tires have good tread and will hold air long enough to roll the car, but after 20 years would be very unsafe to drive on of course. There is body rust here and there, but as far as I know the car was never in an accident. Well, except for the time I bumped into a car at a stop sign - I dented the nose and ended up buying a replacement hood at the wrecking yard.
I have the pink slip in hand, but never bothered to register the car as non-operational so I'm not sure of the ramifications of that, lol. I don't need the money and I'm not trying to rip anybody off. The car is what it is and I'll be fine with whatever it goes for.
Any questions, feel free to ask. If you live near Martinez, Ca., you can arrange to stop by to take a look at the car before bidding.

The following video was taken 6/21/2014 - Sorry about the junk in back - I'm not sure why the air cleaner is back there - but I was in a hurry to head back down south: --- >>>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cH4x2QjB18&feature=youtu.be

Datsun debuts new seven-seat Go+ in Indonesia [w/video]

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The Datsun name may have long since been replaced by Nissan, but the old brand is making a comeback - in certain markets, at least. Nissan relaunched the Datsun brand in July as its new budget brand for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback, and has now followed up with the addition of the larger Go+.
Set to be built in Indonesia at Nissan's plant in Purwakarta, the Go+ debuts today in the capital of Jakarta as the second model in the new Datsun lineup. The seven-passenger minivan features flexible seating in a compact form 13 feet long, powered by an unspecified 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Nissan isn't saying much else about the model, but hopes the new Datsun twins will account for half of its sales in Indonesia within three years. The low price target for both models - set to come in at less than 100 million rupiah ($8,700) - ought to help it get there. The lineup is then scheduled to reach other markets, starting with India, Russia and South Africa next year.

Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

We'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.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
