Hello and thank you for checking out the gorgeous and incredible driving third owner 1977 Datsun 280z with only 96k original miles.

She was re-painted with Hot Hues True Blue candy color paint (House of Kolor). She has a beautiful high gloss finish and is finished off with the MSA air damn, skirts, and rear bumper.

She is powered by Nissan's legendary inline 6 engine, which has been quite tastefully upgraded with a custom intake and exhaust system with a header, she still has tons of life left in her and has plenty of get up and go. The engine has been recently serviced and is in turn-key condition. The transmission is the stock 5-speed manual transmission which shifts smooth through all the gears.

The interior is very nice, with a stock look. The seats are Nissan's high back sport seats and were re-upholstered with new seat covers. The stereo was updated to retain a stock look but has the ability to play A.M. and F.M. radio, as well as have an aux input for a phone or iPod. The speakers were upgraded to JL Audio's, two-way speakers for crisp sound.

The suspension was upgraded with all new polyurethane bushings, then treated to the Tokico adjustable struts, springs, and front camber plates. The brakes were upgraded to 4 piston calipers off of a Toyota 4x4, pushing down on Nissan 300zx vented rotors in the front. The rear has new breaks shoes as well as wheel cylinders spring of 2013. Brand new brake master cylinder and clutch cylinder were added in Spring 13' as well.

She sits on mint Konig Rewind rims. She has been garaged her whole life and has never seen rain, she sits in the garage during the winter with occasional start ups and tire rotations to keep tires from getting flat spots. Early September tires were balanced and were re-aligned to ensure a smooth, straight driving experience. I have many receipts on the car for all the services as well as after market changes. The car was purchased from Barbarino Nissan in Wallingford, CT, and has been in a Madison, CT garage ever since, only driven in the summer.

Car is 100% rust free and frame rails are rock solid.

Purchasing this car means not being able to go anywhere without getting noticed.

Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A 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:

Datsun officially reborn with Go model for India [w/video]

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

In 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.
