FOR BID IS AN ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED 1974 260Z WITH 50,000 ORIGINAL MILES. ORIGINAL OWNER SOLD TO MY FRIEND IN 2003 WHO IN TURN SOLD TO ME LAST YEAR. VEHICLE WAS SELDOM DRIVEN AND SAT IN GARAGE THROUGHOUT THE 1980`S AND LATE 1990`S. I HAVE A CLEAR CALIFORNIA TITLE IN MY NAME. HERE IS CONDITION OF VEHICLE.

CAR STARTS FINE WITH CHOKE ON. WARMS UP AND RUNS WITH A SLIGHT HESITATION DUE TO DIRTY CARB OR CARBS. ONCE IT IS WARM IT IMMEDIATELY STARTS WITH A QUICK TURN OF KEY. AT SOME POINT THE DISTRIBUTOR DID NOT HAVE JUICE, AND A BYPASS WIRE APEARS TO HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY THE TACHOMETER DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND RUNS FINE. THE TIRES ARE OLD AND SLIGHTLY OUT OF ROUND AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I INSTALLED A NEW CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER, AND PURCHASED A NEW SLAVE CYLINDER WHICH HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED.TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GREAT. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL MOUNT SEEMS TO BE BAD. IT THUMPS WHEN YOU SHIFT HARD. IT WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED.A/C AND SMOG PUMPS ARE THERE AND CURRENTLY HAVE THE FAN BELTS CONNECTED AND RUNNING.

THE BODY IS STRAIGHT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RUST. IT HAS ORIGINAL PAINT, AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY BODY PANELS REPLACED. DRIVER DOOR NEEDS A GOOD PUSH TO CLOSE IT FIRMLY. THE SPARE TIRE AREA SHOWS THE ORIGINAL COLOR AND THE SPARE TIRE IS ORIGINAL AND APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN USED OR EVEN MOUNTED ON THE VEHICLE.

THE INTERIOR NEEDS WORK ON BOTH SEATS AND THE DASH HAS CRACKED FROM BEING PARKED IN THE SUN FOR A FEW YEARS. NO BROKEN GLASS. THE DOOR WEATHERSTRIPPING NEEDS REPLACING. HEADLINER HANGS JUST A BIT, HARDLY NOTICEABLE.

ALL LIGHTS WORK AND GAUGES AS I STATED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TACHOMETER. INTERIOR DOME LIGHT AND REVERSE, HAZAERD, AND CONSOLE LIGHT WORK AS WELL. IGNITION KEY ALSO LOCKS GLOVE BOX, REAR HATCH, AND BOTH DOORS. WIPERS WORK WELL. STEERING WHEEL FOAM HAS DRIED UP AND MAY NEED REPLACING.

OVERALL A VERY NICE CANDIDATE FOR RESTORATION OR A QUICK PAINT FOR A FLASHY DAILY DRIVER. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK.

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:

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.

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.
