They still stop great, but at low speed/low pedal pressure they’ll squeal -Going to need new tires if you plan on serious tracking/canyon carving I've had this car for a couple of years, and while I love the car, right now I just don't drive it much anymore. For a more extensive writeup on the car, check my mechanic's blog here: http://www.zcarblog.com/2013/05/30/performance/heart-transplant-scotts-240z.html. This has been a California car for the last 20 years at minimum. The car runs and drives great, however, be aware that this is a RACE SETUP. This is not a car that you hop in and drive to the store. The carbs do NOT have chokes on them, and are NOT setup for when the engine is cold. If you're looking for a car that's easy to daily drive, then keep going, this is not the one that you are looking for. If you're looking for a car that you can auto-cross and take to track days, but don't need to trailer it in, then this might be the one for you. Mechanically the car is solid. The engine does not consume any oil or coolant, there are zero leaks of any kind under the car. If you have ANY questions about this car, either email me scottdwagner@gmail.com, or call me 408 410 3926 and leave a message. I will not ship this car, nor will I deal with a shipping company. I will only hand the keys and title over to the actual winner of this auction. If you want to ship it after that, go for it. Upon winning the auction, $2000 (non-refundable) will be due via paypal within 3 calender days (72 hours). The remaining payment for the car is due within 10 calender days (240 hours) of the end of auction in person in cash. If you need to make an alternate arrangement for paying the balance, THEN TELL ME. |

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.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The 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.
