This is a 1972 Datsun 240Z. Milage unknown. The speedometer says 32,821, so I would guess it to be 132,821. The original color was lime yellow, but it has had an economy repaint and color change to green. Car runs strong. It is a daily driver. The tires have less than 2000 miles and are approx 2 yrs old. The struts have been replaced, It had a small water leak from head gasket, replaced the head gasket, surfaced the head and also installed new water pump, fuel plump, timing chain, and points and plugs. Carpets have been replaced. The original seats where trashed, and have been replaced with seats from 1972 done vehicle, the doner seats are in excellent condition. Carpet has been replaced. Car is in good condition for its age. It has has rust in areas typical most "Z" cars rust, drivers floor, and rear wheel openings etc. The radio has been replaced with a radio/CD player. The power antenna does not work. The car is not pristine by any means, but it is a good solid start for a restore or refurbish. I am selling it because I have another 240Z and I only have time and money to refurbish one. The other one is for sell also. I am also advertising locally, so car may be sold prior to end of auction. $500 deposit. Payment - cash at time of pickup. Buyer is responsible for shipping.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The 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.

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.
