Let me start off by giving you a little background on the 280z.This was the last incarnation of the first generation S30 body style. It featured an engine displacement enlargement of 2.8 L from the 2.6L in the 260z . A major change was the introduction of Bosch fuel injection, replacing the previous SU carburetors. This resulted in a power increase to 170 hp (127 kW), offsetting increased weight from added luxury features and an enlarged bumper that met US Federal regulations. 1977 and 1978 models received bumpers with recessed channels added to the faces of the bumpers themselves, that blended into corrugated or accordion style black rubber extension trim. Also new for the 1977 model year, 280Zs no longer received the full size spare tire, and instead had a "space saver" spare and a larger fuel tank.The 1977 was the last year was of the 280z and was replaced in 1978 by the 280zx.

I have owned this z for about 2 weeks. I bought this car as a surprise early graduation gift for my 6 foot 7 inch son, unfortunately he doesn't fit well into it and i need to sell this beauty. I bought it from the 2nd owner who owned it for about 10 years and bought it from the original owner as a mid life crisis vehicle. He babied and took care of this vehicle the entire time he owned it. He only put about 2k miles on it the entire time he owned it and drove it only when it was nice outside.He took off the rear window louvers off the car because he didn't like the way they looked.

this 280z has been an oregon car its whole life.It has the rare optional 5 speed transmission, a/c, and sunroof. I have been unable to find any rust on this car beside the small spot of surface rust about the size of a quarter on the front bumper. This car runs and drives excellent. the paint is in great condition.this vehicle still has the original space saver spare tire and air inflator.

The only thing wrong with the car is that it needs some windshield wiper motors as they are not working at the moment. The vehicle comes with an extra door handle,rear window louvers, fuel pump and a couple of manuals for the car.If you are worried about appearances then you may want to recover the drivers seat and put in a new carpet kit.the reason for those things is because the carpet in the rear of car is ripped in spots and the drivers seat has a few tears. if you are looking for a great looking and driving car for the summer or a perfect car for the graduate in your life this is the one you are looking for. for more information please call 5032009906

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The 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.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

You can add Fiat to the admittedly short list of automakers considering a low-cost brand to rival Dacia. The inexpensive Eastern European brand from Renault-Nissan has performed on the balance sheet like a premium model line, and the money the alliance is taking off the table is encouraging other players to deal themselves in. Pretty soon Nissan's Datsun sub-brand will join the Dacia party, going on sale in Russia, Indonesia and India and will claim even more rubles, rupiahs and rupees for the parent company. Volkswagen recently said it will make a decision this year on a budget line for the Chinese market. With the euthanasia of Lancia and plans to move the Fiat brand upmarket, company CEO Sergio Marchionne wonders aloud to Automotive News Europe whether there could be room for a new budget brand underneath Fiat.
We're told that the initiative has been in the idea box for five years and even moved to the stage of name considerations, like Innocenti, but worries about profit kept it from realization. If such a range were to be developed, Marchionne says it couldn't be built in Italy and stay within budget, and the company is "analyzing its manufacturing capacity outside of Europe to see if a low-cost brand is viable."
