Up for sale is my baby... my 1977 Datsun 280z. I purchased this car in Granite Bay California from an older gentleman who was using it as a weekender and cruising car. I flew out there, and drove this car thousands of miles across all sorts of terrain and through the desert, and made it back to Kansas. Its tough. I currently use it as a daily driver and have had only a few problems, primarily due to some of the hoses being original from 77. (They have been replaced) The odometer reads 44,XXX, but Ive been told by the previous owner that it is actually closer to 200,XXX.
There is VERY little to no rust as far as I can tell. (Small surface rust right above the tail bumper, on the lip.)
The A/C blows cold, but the heater does not blow warm, and will need some work.
Starts easily, shifts cleanly, and idles well with a deep warm grumble. As far as parts and modifications go, the entire car is all original, save for the small replacements here and there in order to keep it reliable. (Such as new hoses, Optima battery, new alternator and voltage regulator, etc.)
I want this vehicle to go to someone who will appreciate it for the classic that it is. Circumstances have forced me to opt for something more economical.

Fiat contemplating sub-brand to compete with Dacia, Datsun
Tue, 05 Feb 2013You 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."
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.
