This car has been driven. It runs great, handles well and is a great pleasure to drive. Can be used a daily driver (if you don’t mind 14 MPG). It does need a bit of warming up on a cold morning.

Please send a message and I can provide more photos or try to answer your questions. If you are local, I can make time to show the car off.

Driving along US 101


Details:

Weber Carbs

Weber Carb choke mod - Uses the original choke lever in the cabin to close the choke when warming the engine.

California Smog exempt (Pre-1975), so the smog bits have been removed. I have them in storage, if you’d like them, drop a note.

New Windshield - The chrome border for the windshield is included. It was a bit bent and could probably use replacing, but If you were the handy type I suppose you could wrangle it in there. One of the corner pieces is missing.

Pioneer CD Player - MP3 Enabled, Bluetooth, USB

Prestige alarm system

Alloy Wheels with locking nuts


Condition: 

The horn is not currently connected. The handbrake warning light does not come on when brake is engaged. The blower knob is included, but not installed. The passenger window handle is missing the knob, but the lever works just fine. The instrument panel is dim, which is my personal preference, but it might be a problem.


Cosmetics:

Not the original paint. Very nice pinstripes along the sides.


Rust on the trunk lid (photo included), under the floor carpeting, and on the battery shelf. Bumps around the trunk. Nothing too strange for a 40 year old rust magnet.


A door ding on the driver’s side door. Some paint missing from road debris strikes (Example in photos). Cracked dash (comes standard on 70’s Z-cars).


Extras:

Original Carbs

Lots of gaskets for window, door and trunk seals

Smog components

If you’d like any of them, just drop a note and I’ll pull them out of storage.


History: Bought from a private owner 3 years ago. His project became mine. The car has been registered in California and Oregon.

Shipping: Buyer is responsible for pickup or making shipping arrangements.

Payment: Cash in person or Cashier’s Check. $500 PayPal Deposit within 3 days. Balance due within 7 days.

Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Nobody 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."

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In 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.

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.
