1971 Datsun 240z
Clean and clear MO title in my name. I beleive this car was manufactured in June of 1971.
This car was built by me and my step father as a project. The car was first acquired by us in a package deal of
cars, and this car was just a shell of a car, with nice suspension, and a clean looking 280z engine in it.
I spent several (about 7 years) on this project. I spent alot of time dealing with rust and using alot of POR15 on
the frame and interior and front wheel wells. The car was painted in 2010, and I spent the winter of 2010, until may
of 2011 re-assembling the car. In may of 2012 I had the car in the body shop again to repair a crack on the
bottom lip of the fiberglass front air dam. I also had them fit a replacement panel on the hatch deck lid, and
repaint the hood which I was unsatisfied with, and blend in the doors.... basically, just shy of a total repaint.
The car is very well built. I don’t really want to sell it, but I just bought an old building that I am working on
renovating as my studio and living space, so some toys need to go. I put a lot of work, time and money into this
car and it draws looks and comments everywhere it goes. I have a box full of extra parts, and a box full of
receipts and documents from the work.
Engine: I have not done anything to the motor, besides a tune up. It has a 280z Engine with a 5 speed transmission.
It does have an upgraded MSA alternator. Motor runs great, does not burn oil.
Carbs: Carbs have been recently rebuilt, but could use a tune from someone who knows these carbs. It has the
round top SU carbs. Has pod air filters on it currently.
Fuel system: The gas tank was removed and professionally cleaned. A new rubber fuel filler neck was installed.
New red line Holley electric fuel pump installed. Manual choke works.
Brakes: New front rotors, and rebuilt calipers with no squeel-ceramic brake pads. Rear brakes have new
brake drums and brake cylinders. All new brake hardware, except the metal line under the frame.
New brake master cylinder. Recently, the drivers side rear brake has developed a small leak, after sitting
for a while.
Lights: New front and rear running lights. HID front headlights with the upgraded wiring harness from MSA.
2 Fog lights mounted in the front air dam, on a switch. I do not have the interior dome light installed.
The lights in the dash work, but are dim. New battery.
Wheels: Aluminum wheels are in good shape, no major dings, bends or gouges. The tires are all new and matching.
Interior: Vintage leather upholstered seats are in great shape. New front and rear carpets. New black diamond
interior vinyl. Headliner was done in black vinyl by an upholstery shop. Looks great. The dash has some
cracks, but I will include a plastic dash cap from Black Dragon, which I have not installed because I was
going to have the door panels and dash upholstered to match the headliner. Weather stripping is new.
New aircraft release style seat belts. Car does not have sun visors installed currently, because of the
sunroof. All of the plastic is in great shape. New glove box installed.
Body: The body has been professionally painted. The rear of the car and the doors and hood were repainted and
blended in May of 2012, and they did a great job. Both front fenders are new. A replacement panel was fitted
under the hatch where these cars usually rust out. Looks clean and is well done. There are no scratches or
dings. The body and paint on this car is great. Paint is a single stage silver Saab color. Car was painted
apart. Door jams are painted. New locks in the doors. New weatherstripping. All major rust spots were taken
care of. Floor boards are solid. New rear wheel wells were fitted as well as the panels under the door.
A couple of years were spent on the body work of this car. The front fender badges are new, the hood and
hatch emblems have been shaved, and the pillar badges are vintage, and not in show condition. I used a
lot of Dynamat sound deadening material on the interior of the car. The dash console is in good shape.
Original ashtray is there. Heater console face is in great shape, But i do not currently have the heater
hooked up completely as I was going to take the dash out again at some point to reupholster it and
get the dash lights bright again. Front Air dam is an MSA Type III.
This 240z does feature an aftermarket sunroof. The sunroof did open, but began sticking so I haven’t opened it.
There is a place in Kansas City that can install a new one for $599.
Suspension: Car still has the standard shocks that were on it. New tie bar ends have been installed.
Exhaust: Car has a performance stainless coated exhaust header, and a new custom exhaust which was
installed by KC Brake & Muffler, and sounds great.

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.

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, 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.
