Relisted due to buyer needing to pay with paypal. We don't accept paypal for purchases this large. Listing this for our father in law. Please call or contact him directly to speed up communication. If you have less than 20 feedback please call me before making an offer. Thanks 208-360-1636 or batpis@yahoo.com If you have been thinking of building a street racer that can run with the big dogs and yet handle like a sports car then this may be just what you are looking for. Most of the hard work is finished. This beast is put together nicely. It is fast and handles like a go kart on rails. All that is left is the fluffing and primping. We have an 87 Ranger with a 302. Basically the same setup as this but you can hear it coming like a freight train a mile away. Not so with this baby. It has a throaty rumble to be sure, but it sneaks up on the competition. Very gentle around town, unless you want to put your foot into it. Top end on this little beast is yet to be discovered. I know street racing is considered by some to be an illegal sport, but there are those of us out here that like to rack up the frequent flyer miles. This little savage is tight and handles with the confidence of prize fighter. So if this is what you're looking for........ you found it. 1977 Datsun 280z Aprox 6k on engine and trans. This car has a very strong Ford 302 V8. It is backed up by a AOD auto trans. It's a 4 speed overdrive trans. The car is geared high so it gets great MPG. Custom high flow radiator. Custom exhaust. New tires. Engine runs perfect. Trans shifts as it should. The only rust I could find is a little under the passenger floor. Please contact me to make an offer or with any questions you have. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will help with loading. Car sold as is. Thanks

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.
First new Datsun in decade sketched, set for Indian reveal
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Nissan's Datsun nameplate revival will begin with two models bound for the Indian market. Nissan has released sketches of a five-door hatchback based on the Micra (codenamed K2) and a top-down view of a hood that could potentially be from a sedan.
The company's press release says all will be revealed on July 15 in New Delhi, India. The Datsun lineup will be first offered in 2014 to that country's ride-deprived residents as well as Indonesia and Russia. Later in 2014, South Africa will join the list.
We've heard Nissan plans for Datsuns to share platforms with company-owned Lada. In January, we heard the projected price tag could be around $3,000 USD to compete with Chinese imports. The official press release (which can be read in full below) says nothing about either of these reports, however.
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:
