This would make an awesome project car for anyone looking to restore a rare and coveted Datsun 240z. While it needs a bit of work the car was running when I parked it, though it would probably need some work to get it running solid at this point. The exterior is in good shape considering the age with a very unique paint job. The clear coat is faded as you can see in the pictures, and there is minor rust in various locations. The body is primarily in good shape all things considered, though the bumpers could use work or replacing. There is some primer on the drivers side front fender where the paint was scratched years ago. The interior needs a good cleaning and restoration work. This car was built before they moved away from the dual single barrel carbs, and has the inline 6 engine with the 4 speed manual transmission. It would need new tires as well. This isn't a road ready car, but as far as projects go this is perfect for either the hobbyist or enthusiast.

The car is listed for sale locally and this listing will be removed in the event it sells. I will be glad to help in any way I can to get the car shipped if need be, though all costs and setup are the responsibility of the buyer. While I feel this car has a huge amount of potential and isn't in terrible shape I have to list it as is where is due to the age and because I don't know enough about cars to figure out a detailed list of what it needs. With that said, I believe this is definitely your chance to have a fun restoration project that will leave you with a car worth much more then what you'd pay buying one already restored from someone else.

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.

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.
