1974 Datsun 260z Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Branson, Missouri, United States
This 1974 Datsun 260Z sportscar represents a new take on restoration. Over $30K invested and every nut, bolt and detail has been touched. From the mildly beefed up 2600cc engine that now produces 190+hp (up from the stock 163) to beefed up and urethane bushed suspension components, this classic Z-car hits all of the sports car hot buttons. New Weber downdraft carburetor, HPC coated header and all new internal components in the well detailed engine sure make this car rumble like a V8 upon start up. A completely reconditioned 5 speed manual trans with all new clutch components feed the new horsepower to the also reconditioned independent rear suspension. Featuring urethane bushings at all suspension locations help this well handling car keep a flat set as it dives into our powers out of a turn. New brake lines and components at all four corners provide the stopping power when needed. Starting with a 117K original mile car, only 1000 miles have tripped over since the complete restoration. Pictures and receipts of the restoration are available with the sale. An excellent interior greets you as you open the door, as well as upgraded AM’FM/CD with 4 Blaupunkt speakers to rock your blues away on those long road trips. You can look high and low and never find a better example. Call Tom or Bobby @ 417.335.2600 for more details. |

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When 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.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In 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.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
