   Thank you for looking at my auction for our 1975 Datsun 280Z. This was a father and son project that we've lost interest in. Please read the entire description before bidding. We bought the car locally with a bad motor and installed the current drivetrain last year. The car has a GM 5.3 LS FUEL INJECTED V-8 with a turbo 350 automatic. We used an auto because we planned on using a 76mm turbo (never installed) and it was a factory auto car. We spent a ton of  $$$ on the car and did not cut any corners when building. Here is a rundown of the basics

   We replaced the drivers side floor and a few small areas around the drain plugs on the passenger side and 2 small patches on the bottom of the front fenders( very common areas). Under the battery is very nice. It has the original frame rails that are very nice as is the rest of the car. It was/is a very solid South Carolina car. It has mostly original paint BUT IT NEEDS PAINT!!!  My son let a buddy drive it and he jumped on it in 2nd gear blew the tires off (spinning)and lost control taking out a few small trees and dented the drivers side fender and door---no other damage and very minor for any body shop to repair. The car drives great, very smooth, handles great and is very streetable/dependable. Car has been 7.36 @ 94 mph  in the 1/8th as it sits with 205/70 r14 tires. We wanted the car to be a "sleeper".
THE REASON FOR SELLING AND THE LOW RESERVE IS DUE TO A BOTTOM END NOISE/KNOCK IT WILL CRANK AND DRIVE--- AS SOON AS IT STARTED MAKING THE NOISE WE SHUT IT DOWN AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. GREAT CHANCE TO THROW IN A JUNKYARD 5.3 OR 6.0 AND GO HAVE FUN OR ??? OUR LOSS IS YOUR GAIN!!! WE HAVE SPENT  OVER 10k ON THE CAR AND YOU COULD NOT BEGIN TO BUILD IT FOR WHAT OUR RESERVE IS.
  
 We reserve the right to end the listing at any time due to local sale. questions or concerns just call me @ 864-483-7619 thanks and good luck

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."

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.

Datsun reveals new On-Do budget sedan in Russia [w/video]

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

When Nissan revived the Datsun brand name, it essentially hit the "undo" button on the rebranding it undertook decades ago. But this time, the Datsun name is being used solely as a budget brand for developing markets. The reborn marque launched in India this past July with its Go hatchback, returned in September with the Go+ minivan and revealed the Redi-Go concept just last month. And now it's back again with the new On-Do sedan.
Launched in Moscow by CEO Carlos Ghosn, the On-Do was designed and engineered in Japan specifically for the Russian market - Nissan's fifth largest worldwide - where it will be built at the AvtoVaz plant in Togliatti. Decidedly budget-oriented, the Datsun On-Do is a four-door, five-seat econo-box measuring 172 inches long, 67 inches wide and 60 inches tall with an 18.7 cubic-foot trunk which Datsun describes as class-leading. Punctuating an otherwise bland shape is a large front grille and lighting front and rear that looks (and very well might be) bigger than the wheels.
Not that the Datsun On-Do needs a big contact patch to transfer power to the road: motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter engine with a grand total of - wait for it... wait a little longer - 87 horsepower. Which might strike you as a reasonable amount of muscle, considering the 400,000 rubles Datsun is getting for the On-Do (but consider that translates to about $11,300). That's a couple grand more than what Nissan gets for the Micra in that other giant northern country, or about the same amount it gets for the Versa in the US (which sells in Russia for 499k in rubles) - both of which are powered by what is in all likelihood the same 1.6-liter four but producing 109 hp. Of course Russia has different tax rates than the United States or Canada, but with such little power, the Datsun would fall into Russia's lowest tax bracket.
