A Colorado State Patrolman stopped me for exceeding the speed limit before half a day had passed with the new plates on it. He says to me (direct quote) "dude, this car is immaculate!" That might have been a bit generous, but only on account of the sub-par paint job. The condition of this car is tough to match otherwise. I've put a new starter and alternator in the car, and it needs nothing. I'd leave for New York in it tomorrow without a thought. It starts, runs, shifts, drives and handles like a factory fresh car. Brakes are good, tires have lots of tread left. All glass is good, everything works. It is bone stock and unmolested right down to the original state of the art stereo cassette factory sound system. Words that come to mind are "keeper", "head-turner", "creampuff", "garage kept", "adult owned". You don't so much own as take stewardship of this car, and truth be known I probably would abort any prospective buyer who was obviously a low class punk who'd wreck it straight away, trying to race it and putting those jive-ass kazoo tailpipe wizzers on it etc. If this is you I got news for you OK, these were never thought of from day one as being out there to compete against real 8 cylinder muscle. Its a quick (for its day), agile, sporty, sexy, great handling and fun to drive classic. Timeless sports car lines. Reliable drive train and solid build quality. 1979 was the first year for the ZX. Its powered by a fuel injected, normally aspirated 2.8 liter in line six cylinder gasoline "push-rod" engine mated with a manual five speed stick shift transmission. The drivetrain typically goes 400-500k before its time to look inside the motor. Of course things like water pumps and so forth aren't expected to have quite that life expectancy, but you know that if you know anything about cars of course. If you love these cars you'll have to love this one. I'd take my oath on it. Clear title in hand. I bought this car because it is identical to my first car, which was my dad's and which he gave to me on my 18th birthday. You can bet only extreme duress would force this truly regrettable sale. Any questions text me first anytime 719-480-5397. Regards, Curt. Thank you for looking. p.s. I also have the plexiglass covers for the front headlight buckets, I took them off cause I didn't care for the looks of them myself.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
Datsun previews new budget sedan for Russia [w/video]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Nobody 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."
