this is a 1973 Datsun 240Z very rare automatic transmission, factory built race car in 1973.serious bidders only. the car came out from the factory green with tan interior,was repainted red with black interior in 1987 for my sister, she never liked the car and didn't put many miles on it, less than 5000. The odometer shows 40589 miles but i'm sure it has more, no idea how many. It has set under her car port since around 1990, the paint is sun/weather cracked but the body is in good shape, it would need very little body work.The engine has never been rebuilt and doesn't use oil the transmission pulls good no slippage but doesn't have 2nd gear it shifts from 1st to 3rd, or that's what it seems like to me, maybe just a simple valve body fix, I haven't investigated that problem. It has dealer installed A/C, and the tachometer doesn't work as far as i know everything else does work. The car ran good when last driven and with a battery and some carb cleaner i'm sure would run fine again, if i make it run the price will go up.This car is a classic as you don't find many with the automatic transmission so serious inquiries only please. I believe we are the 3rd owner so you can be the 4th, real fun sporty little car to drive, can make someone a good hot rod, fixed up like new should bring around $20,000.00

First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan'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.
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:

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
