Nissan in Unique Position to Celebrate Long Life Cycles with Anniversary Editions
Nissan is uniquely positioned to celebrate significant milestones for vehicles still in the same life cycle. The 50th Anniversary Nissan/Datsun Z was revealed in New York, but also serves as the 10th Anniversary of the 370Z itself, which has soldiered on since 2009 with minimal changes. Too bad it’s not “black gold.” We expect to…

The Original Stelvio was not a Crossover. Behold the Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1
Some won’t know the Nissan Leopard, but, in the US might know a reskinned version known as the Infiniti M30. This rear-driver shares some guts with the Z31 300ZX. Today’s feature, however, is a Leopard with a really cheesy Italian suit made of aluminum and fashioned by Zagato. Yes, folks, Zagato has made some real…

Sightings: Newport Beach, CA July 6, 2017
I went to Newport Beach for a Duffy Boat ride and was rewarded with a few odd sightings – all in one parking lot. This gem speaks mostly for itself, but we first noticed the Pep Boys hood scoops and the body side molding used on the hood, as well as the horrid decal work…

Double Cab Ute 2.0: Datsun U520
Recently, we featured a rare Datsun U620 and today it appears that the same seller is offering the older U520. If you missed out on that early 70s double-cab, then maybe this late 60s iteration is the truck for you!

Double Cab Ute: Datsun U620
Most Datsun pickups from the 60s and 70s were standard, two-seat affairs with separate beds – much like almost every other pickup out there. There were a few oddballs, though, including the Sunny Ute we previously featured and today’s U620. This is the Ute version of the 620 pickup and arguably the coolest (and weirdest)…

Sylvia Gen 1: 1977 Datsun 200SX
Okay, we’ve posted one as UR-Sylvia before. We stand by that. This is where the Sylvia started and it offers light weight and rear wheel drive with a nice, little L-series four cylinder up front. Included is a healthy dose of delightfully odd 70s Japanese styling. The seller claims this example has about 97K miles,…

Pre-Volvo Dual Forced Induction:1989 Nissan March Super Turbo
Several years after the original March/Micra launched, it seems Nissan wanted its own race series for these little buggers; so the March Super Turbo was born. What that means is 110 HP out of 0.93 liters. This was achieved using both a turbo and a supercharger! This example was apparently imported to the US by…

Kenmeri from Bahrain: 1974 Nissan Skyline 240K GT
The C110 Skyline was known as the Kenmeri due to the ad campaign which launched it and featured decidedly non-Japanese actors. This started life as a right-hand drive 240K GT but is now left-hand drive and features an L28 in place of the L24. The work on this car appears to have been done to…

Great Ad and Cool Car: ’76 Datsun Honey Bee
We admit it, we love the Honey Bee. Sure, Nissan/Datsun shipped too many base B210s and someone in Gardena simply decided to slap decals on them to make them a “special”, but there’s something oddly appealing about this little car. The seller provides lots of good photos, including every issue noted. The car apparently has…
