I bought this car 5 years ago as a 90% rust-free running vehicle. Two years was
spent cutting, welding and massaging the Sheet Metal to get it as straight and
rust-free as I possibly could. Car is painted Flat Black ( Acrylic Enamel ). To
give the Engine Compartment that smooth look all Wires & Relays have been
relocated to under the Dash. Battery has also been relocated. Dash is clean and
uncracked. Bucket Seats are installed on Sliding Rails so they can be adjusted
fore and aft.
When I set out to build this car the goal was to incorporate my 22 years
experience in all things Z to build the most uncompromising, cost no object car
that could be built and that is what I did. Nothing was spared and no shortcuts
taken. If parts were not available in the aftermarket I fabricated them myself.
There are a few extremely rare parts on this car that if sold individually could
finance the purchase of another Z by itself namely the GOTTI Rims, BOB SHARP
RACING Valve Cover and Mikuni Racing Intake Manifold.
This is essentially a race car that's registered and can be driven on the street.
Bolt in a Roll Cage and go Vintage Racing. Due to all the time and money spent on
this car it will not be sold cheap but rest assured anyone purchasing this vehicle
will never need another Z Car for the rest of their lives.
This vehicle is sold " As Is " with no warranty expressed or implied.

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.
This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
