This 280z is a January of 1975 issue which is the very first month of the 280z production models. It's been a Southern car since 1975. Bought new in Ga. A copy of the window sticker proves that it was bought new in Ga. This is my Daughters first car and is driven daily. I purchased the car in July of 2012 from a friend who traded a trailer for it and knew I would like it. Im thinking I may be the 3rd or 4th owner. I need to sell so my daughter can have a newer vehicle to go to college. The car is mostly original with ordinary maintenance items replaced. The interior is nice with a reupholstered drivers seat, dash cover, new factory cut and sewn carpet throughout. I started restoring/preserving the car and replaced shocks all around,shock boots,ball joints,tie rod ends,steering boots,brake calipers and brakes,front brake hoses,strut bushings, lower control arm bushings,rear brakes and slave cylinders,sway bar bushing kit front & rear,acid washed and rod cleaned the radiator,new heater hoses on the heater core, all water hoses under the hood are new, new rubber fuel injection lines,fuel filter. I put on an Electric fan instead of those noisy factory fans with a thermostat switch, new exhaust from the manifold back ,nice factory cut new carpet with padding and floor mats, new CD stereo with 6x9 Kenwood speakers in custom plastic welded boxes ,new paint 3/2013,very little rust repair before painting mostly surface rust on floor boards and tailgate area. Tires are about 70% tread and are 70/195r14. Extra parts go with car such as original air intake plastic duct, original radiator fan and shroud, new performance Stainless Steel muffler and tip, new key ignition switch, 3"orange stripes I was going to put on the drivers side fender that match the bottom stripes, also included is a painted fiberglass tail fin. I have most of the receipts to show that most parts were purchased were Nissan original parts. The drivers side roof drip rail chrome is slightly damaged due to someone trying to pry open door at some point.Overall its a real great smooth driving 38 year old car. Great start to a restoration or street racer. As mentioned the air blows cool not cold and the air vents could use some fixing to get air blowing more efficient. The Mileage cannot be 100% confirmed accurate. The engine and transmission each have a very small drip just enough to see on clean garage floor. DMV in AL tell me that cars 1978 and older need no Title so all I have is a Bill of Sale. A Title can be created at the buyers expense if you so desire. This Car will be sold AS IS. Buyer handles shipping arrangments if any, fly in drive away if you want. Thanks for looking.

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.
Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.
Nissan IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts are a bridge to the Datsun 510
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510 Brock Racing Enterprises, nor does it mention one Mr. Peter Brock, the man who won two Trans-Am championships in the Seventies for the nascent Japanese budget brand.
Instead, it declares that the cars were the result of a co-creation product development process with "digital natives," said natives being the whippersnappers born after 1990. Nissan says it worked with the young'uns to create two different expressions of "their desire for a basic, authentic configuration for a car." If that's true, it appears that what the kiddies really want are... two different homages to the Datsun 510 BRE that Peter Brock used to win two championships in the seventies for the nascent Japanese brand.
The IDx Freeflow - the "ID" is for "identification," the "x" is "the variable representing the new values and dreams born through communication" - takes the casual approach, with a light khaki exterior hue, a minimalist interior decked out in denim and a console shifter that works a continuously variable transmission. The IDx Nismo is out for blood, from its crimson interior to its five-point harness to its bolt-on flares and sidepipes. We aren't told what the digital natives requested for powerplants, but that's alright; if this is what "co-creation" looks like, we're not entirely against it except where that "CVT" is involved.
