Reno, Nevada, United States

My mechanic just described this car as the cleanest 280Z in the country. I am the second owner and purchased it in 2008 thru Ebay motors. I am selling it as I am 74 years old and will not drive it as much as I should in the future.

This Z has it all. The 5-speed transmission functions flawlessly as does the factory air-conditioning. The AM-FM radio works perfectly. The original interior's seats, door panels, dash( no cracks or splits), shift boot are in beautiful condition. The black carpet has some minor sun fading.  It is a non-catalytic converter model. The Michelin tires have approximately 4,000 miles on them. The car includes the rear window louvers. The engine is in perfect condition. The engine compartment has the original cosmoline and undercoating and has not been steam cleaned. The car has no rust and has been garaged when not driven. This car has not been wrecked or had any body work done on it. The original paint is in beautiful condition and you will work hard to find a scratch on it. This is a smoke-free car.

I have copies of all service work performed since it's original purchase. Since my purchase I have repaired the air-conditioning which now works perfectly. I had a small oil-leak on my garage floor from the engine and replaced the clutch slave cylinder, oil pan gasket, transmission output seal and rear main seal. The car has no oil leaks now and my garage floor is again spot free. I have also replaced the battery, fuel pump, and miscellaneous hoses. I will be glad to put an interested buyer in touch with my mechanic who was initially trained as a Datsun mechanic and has extensive Z knowledge.

The car includes: original owners manual, service booklet, Datsun 280Z service manual 1978, Haynes and Clymer Shop Manuals, and original window sticker and some misc  Z items.

This has all the features you could want in a 280Z. No work or restoration is required, just get in it and drive. I would pick up the buyer at the airport. Check my seller ratings and you will see I have 100% feedback. I have built my reputation on a 100% honest description and work with any customer issues.  I would co-operate with an out of state buyer with an independent inspection company of your choosing and expense.  Purchase is in U.S. dollars cash in person or Paypal. The final cost does not include shipping or shipping preparation, taxes, title or registration as these costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer. I will provide a bill of sale and clear Nevada title.

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.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

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.
