Up for auction is my 1972 Datsun 240Z. The car is in good condition, it runs, drives shifts well, and stops. I used it as a daily driver for a year until I purchased a new car in December 2013. Now it's a weekend car and garage kept. All bushings on the front suspension have been replaced along with the motor and transmission mounts. Several gaskets, brakes hoses, brake booster, etc. (installed a new larger 1973 booster for better braking still have the old 72 core) I replaced the oil pan gasket too but don't think it seated well it can be reinstalled it's good quality rubber coated, I purchased a set of new ball joints but have not installed them because they were not really needed. I drove in the hot Arizona summer (105 -110 degrees) in heavy traffic and the car does not overheat. I've done quite a bit to the car since purchased. The original radio and antennae are still installed both work (I installed a modern speaker in place of the paper one and still have the original) the air conditioning needs to be reinstalled (needs new pressure hoses ). I have the warranty card from the original owner. This car originally had a white interior with white vinyl top. The top was removed prior to my purchasing. I changed the interior due to dryness and sun damage. A few interior items are still needed such as a glove box liner,dash or dash cap, headliner,and weather strip kit. The body on the car is in great shape but does have a couple of minor flaws, and the windshield has a crack starting from a rock chip. The previous owner let the car sit in the desert sun water was able to leak in to the driver side floor so a small rust hole is at the drain plug area. There is a small rust spot on the passenger fender, and the lip of the rear passenger wheel trim. (see pictures) The under carriage is solid there is absolutely no rust or damage in any of the usual structure areas. I didn't paint the car because I wanted to keep it original.. (no bondo, no wrecks)

This is a great car and will be even better once fully restored. Thank you for viewing my auction and happy bidding!

Relisted do to nonpaying bidder please bid only if you are going to buy. Bidders with no feed back must email me prior to bidding or bid will be cancelled.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There'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.

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
