1978 Datsun 280 Z 


Complete car.
Clean Minnesota title.

Car was originally black and is a Black Pearl VIN.



Among the issues:
Car will not pass California emissions.  (Selling to CA customers for parts only.)
Non-running condition (bad head gasket and per my Z car mechanic has corrosion in cylinders 1 & 6)  will need a rebuild/swap.
Rust underneath and in battery compartment.  
Brakes will need attention after sitting.
Has a few dents.
A/C unit was removed (needs rebuild)

A few of the good things:
Engine and 5spd transmission from 1982/83 Datsun 280ZX
Has brand new master cylinder ( worth $150)
260Z front bumper
240Z wheels
Good glass
Good tires

I have owned this car for 14 years.  It has been sitting for three plus years now and needs a lot of love and attention.  
I will list this one time and then it will be parted out.  If you are a Black Pearl fan and want to save this beast from the grave this is your one chance.

The Buy It Now price is only $1000.  Lots of great parts, just the hood, rare 5spd transmission and rare 260Z front bumper combined are nearly worth my asking price.

Please contact me prior to purchase.  Buyer is responsible for pickup/delivery.

Please also note that once you click the Buy It Now option eBay automatically charges the seller a flat vehicle purchase fee of $60. This charge is included in the sale price and is non-refundable.   If you change your mind for any reason you will be refunded your deposit minus the $60 fee.   Please do not bid if you do not intend to buy.  

Contact me if you have any questions, want to look at the vehicle in person or would like to see more pictures.

Thank you and good luck!

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.

Datsun to unveil second model later this month

Sun, 08 Sep 2013

Datsun, Nissan's new sub-brand for emerging markets, has announced plans to unveil its second model. Its first, the Go, was unveiled almost two months ago, and promised affordable, connected motoring for five in a handsome hatchback body. Datsun is following that up with a pair of new models for Indonesia.
The first of these two new vehicles will be shown on September 17 in Jakarta, eschewing the typical auto show debut. It's targeted at so-called "risers," the nickname for a group of highly aspirational customers in the Indonesian market. Datsun developed it locally with help from Nissan, and it'll cost under 100 million Indonesian rupiah (about $8,900 at today's rates).
We'll have the full boatload of information on the newest member of the Datsun family when it debuts on September 17. Scroll on to read the full press release from Datsun.
