1973 Datsun 240Z -race car

Up for AUCTION: NO RESERVE

Time to build your own track car that at certain angles has a
sort of Ferrari Daytona or Daytona Coupe look.

this car started life as a low mileage 73 Nissan 240Z
rust free , super straight chassis- body car

(we didnt do the work, we are just trying to explain
how the car got into its current condition and whats been done
so far)

Rust Free Arizona Datsun , that alone makes this worth building

Last owner started by removing the roof, the did an abundance of
fiberglass work along the body and rearend too.

DRIVETRAIN: Engine bay is clean and straight just waiting
for a drivetrain for todays standards. Maybe a 1JZ, small
block FORD or GM, SHO Yamaha V6 or even a Datsun SR20
maybe. Original car was a stick so if you want a manuel
trans,  shouldnt be hard to do. These stock rearends are 
known for handling alot of HP, so you can prob leave it alone.
RIMS & Tires,  the possibilities are e-n-d-l-e-s-s !!!

INTERIOR: Gutted as you can see mostly..
The dash is intact mostly and ready for your touch
on it. Factory gauges all there. , pedals etc.
Floors are very solid as you can tell from the pics
inside and out. The door panels are both fiberlass
now for lightness and easy to finish.
Trunk had the spare tire well cut out prob for
the use of a fuel cell.
Cage was installed by the last owner and it really
looks decent, could be chromoly steel, not sure.

EXTERIOR: still much of the original Datsun Steel with some
fiberglass additions. Would be cool to add your own HID
Projector style headlights, and LED taillights too for race or
street use. The rear body panels I think maybe be off a
Miata in parts. Whats been done is actually nice and done
pretty well. A 1 pcs tilt front end was also fabricated and
works pretty well. Easy to use, not finished but a really
good start. Vents built into the front fenders are a nice
touch, not just or a good look, but help extract hot air too.
Its obviously not finished.


Suspension: Mostly stock, but I did see some aftermarket
lowering springs in the car. Not sure what brand but they
help the car sit at nice stance.


This car is 90% rust free Arizona NISSAN RWD Modern Classic


240Zs  like this come along far and few between.

Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
























































































































































To the best of my knowledge this 240Z wasnt wrecked prior
to the modifications.
Probably The BEST represented Nissans on Ebay.
 
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. 

Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know
exactly what you have in the end.

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles
youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.
Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. 
With other auctions,  you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.
Email me for a quote for shipping.
Or fly in and drive it home, its that reliable and clean
.
ARIZONA TITLE IN HAND

I wont end the auction early !!

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.

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."

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.
