1978 Datsun 280Z

"The luxurious personal car for two, beautiful, powerful, and roomy. The Datsun 240Z looks, drives, and rides like GT cars costing thousands more." When this car arrived on our shores in 1970....everyone noticed. Next to today's "look-alike" cars, the Z remains just as distinctive as it did four decades ago.

Here is your chance to get behind the wheel a reliable, rare, "survivor" 280z!

2.8 liter fuel-injected 6 cylinder engine,

Chain-driven overhead camshaft,

4-wheel independent suspension,

Panasonic CD player,

4 speed manual transmission.

Along with the purchase you will receive:

Factory owners manual, ALL of the receipts, original spare tire, tool kit, rear louvers, and plastic headlight covers.

In the Spring of 2012, this car made a trip to the Motorsport Z West Coast Nationals where is was given 1st place for the stock 280z category. This award winning car is in great condition, and the trophy will be included in the sale.

Price is $9,950 and it is availible to ship anywhere. It is located in Sacramento, CA. Hagerty values this car at $13,200 and you are getting a great deal for this beautiful show-winning car. I hate to see it go, but it's time to move on to a new car that I can enjoy just as much as this one.

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.

Meet the man who took a year sabbatical to drive his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

A quiet drive in the country can be the most relaxing thing in the world. What if it didn't have to end, and you could keep driving for a week, a month or even a whole year? That's what Scott Fisher is doing by taking a one-year sabbatical from work and driving his 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster around North America.
"I had owned a manufacturing business in Las Vegas for 16 years. I knew I needed to kinda' get out, and unwind, and get my mojo back," said Fisher.
Fisher's trip has covered over 30,000 miles through 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces, and it is not over yet. He left from his home in Las Vegas, NV, last spring and drove to the Pacific. From there, he drove up the coast to the Canadian border and aimed the car for the Atlantic. He just posted on his blog about visiting the Nissan headquarters and museum in Franklin, TN, and his next stops are Mississippi and New Orleans, LA.

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:
