This is a 1977 Datsun 280Z with a 5speed manual trans,2.8 inline 6 cylinder. Now you must remember this is a 35 year old car but still is in real good shape with minimal rust. It has a dime sized paint bubble in lower part of front fenders also a small rust piant bubble at gas tank door. If you know these cars you know some of there issues like the floor pan rails rusting but they have been replaced.This car came from Califfornia where I bought it. It was a donated car for a tax credit and bought a auction, this is were it got the prior salvage title. I bought the car in 1999 and my wife has driven it up to last fall and has sat in the shop. I just put new carpet in it,it has a couple of small tears in passenger seat. But all in all interior is in pretty nice condition.The paint is in fair condition for a 14 year old paint job, the driver side was redone recently to repair a key scartch and a little rust in lower rear quarter behind wheel. Now again if you know these cars the dash has the typical cracks in it but is covered with a dash pad cover. The car has newer front tires and the back are fair. I also put on wheel adapters so I could use something nicer than slotted mags or later model z wheels, now you can us a large varity of aftermarket wheels. It shows 88,000 mile so I'm sure it is 188000 miles but run real well, does use a quart between oil changes. This is a real nice daily driver Not a show car, But I have seen not as nice a car in car shows. Please ask any questions before bidding I will gladly answer them. Thanks Brian

Renault planning a Tata Nano rival. Again.
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Four years ago, Renault confirmed that it would partner with India's Bajaj Auto to develop a rival to the Tata Nano. At the time, as everyone waited for the Tata Nano to arrive, you could have used a Richter scale to measure the tremors the executive suites of any automaker with an interest in the low end of emerging markets. Then the Nano, still the cheapest car in the world, didn't sell so well - at the end of last year its sales were just six percent of its most conservative projections - and everyone seemed content to let Tata spend the money to figure out if there really was a market for the cheapest car in the world.
Renault believes there is, kind of. Automotive News Europe reports that it will partner with Nissan to build two low-priced cars for emerging markets, one for €3,000 ($3,888 U.S.) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 U.S.). The price of the least expensive offering is nearly $1,400 more than a Nano, which costs $2,500, and that can't be considered a small sum in comparison. But one of the hindsight knocks on the Nano has been that even in emerging markets buyers don't want a car whose biggest lure is that it is cheap; they'd rather give their aspirations a bit more of a workout.
Renault's offerings are scheduled to hit the non-Western market in late 2014, which is coincidentally the same year that will see the return of the budget-minded and emerging-market-specific Datsun nameplate. They'll be built in Renault facilities in Chennai, India, with no mention made of Bajaj this time around.
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.
