1974 Datsun 260z Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Branson, Missouri, United States
This 1974 Datsun 260Z sportscar represents a new take on restoration. Over $30K invested and every nut, bolt and detail has been touched. From the mildly beefed up 2600cc engine that now produces 190+hp (up from the stock 163) to beefed up and urethane bushed suspension components, this classic Z-car hits all of the sports car hot buttons. New Weber downdraft carburetor, HPC coated header and all new internal components in the well detailed engine sure make this car rumble like a V8 upon start up. A completely reconditioned 5 speed manual trans with all new clutch components feed the new horsepower to the also reconditioned independent rear suspension. Featuring urethane bushings at all suspension locations help this well handling car keep a flat set as it dives into our powers out of a turn. New brake lines and components at all four corners provide the stopping power when needed. Starting with a 117K original mile car, only 1000 miles have tripped over since the complete restoration. Pictures and receipts of the restoration are available with the sale. An excellent interior greets you as you open the door, as well as upgraded AM’FM/CD with 4 Blaupunkt speakers to rock your blues away on those long road trips. You can look high and low and never find a better example. Call Tom or Bobby @ 417.335.2600 for more details. |

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.
Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]
Mon, 15 Jul 2013In March of 2012, Nissan announced the return of its historic Datsun brand. Datsun used to represent the Nissan brand in a number of markets, but its badge hasn't been worn on a new model since 1981. In 2013, though, it has been relaunched as the Japanese manufacturer's budget offering in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The model that will lead that charge, at least in India, is the Go, a car that pays tribute to the very first Datsun, the DAT-GO.
The operative term with the Datsun brand is: "budget offering." Don't step inside the Go and expect beautiful hides or brushed metals (it's being sold in India, after all). The instrument cluster features a simple speedometer, while the five-speed manual and the center stack above it are rather barren. It's not without luxuries, though, as iPod-style connectivity is available through a Mobile Docking Station.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A 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:
